Gathering creative and thoughtful health innovators from around the world. Reflecting on the differentiated value prop of this community *&* what we can build together. #HealthInnovationAt15
Many innovators who seasoned our days at #HealthInnovationAt15 are beginning to fly home. For those who remain, it's on to the @DukeGHI alumni awards.
@WueltonMonteiro: We must be careful not to romanticize "resilience" with climate change. Solidarity among communities is good, but can't overcome problems that institutions need to address. #HealthInnovationAt15
Why is the burden on LMICs to identify methods to adapt to climate change? They shouldn't have to do the work alone. #HealthInnovationAt15
Big Question #2: How will we meet the health challenges of climate change? Panel responses cite cyclones, floods, snake bites, crocodile encounters. #HealthInnovationAt15
Reasons for optimism? Sarah Bermeo, Associate Professor at Sanford: Students continue to flock to global health. We have academic freedom. #HealthInnovationAt15
Questions about country/regional ownership. Maybe our language should shift to "agency"? #HealthInnovationAt15
Day 3 underway, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Duke Global Health Institute, our institutional home. Big Question 1: Who Will Lead Our Future? #HealthInnovationAt15
"#GlobalHealth is having a moment." So says the emcee for the storytelling set-up for anniversary celebrations. #HealthInnovationAt15
Next up, an evening of storytelling and origin stories at Durham's The Cookery. What did we dream of in global health years ago? What have we learned? #HealthInnovationAt15
That's a wrap on our participation in the Third Annual Duke Summit on AI for Health Innovation. Cross-disciplinary collaboration on full display. Learn more at aihealth.duke.edu/2026-innov… #HealthInnovationAt15
Innovators may not need to build a tool from scratch. You can build upon and improve what's there with prompt engineering (e.g., EMR patient history, etc.). #HealthInnovationAt15
Innovators with @Innovationsinhc: "Beyond the Algorithm: Global Lessons on What It Takes to Bring Clinical AI to Patients." Hugo Morales, Co-Founder & CMO, Munai (Brazil); Shelley Saxena, Founder, CEO & CTO, Sevamob (India). Moderator: Lisa Bourget, Snr Dir, Duke GHIC & IiH.
We must remain enthusiastic but also appropriately cautious with AI-driven engineering of medical innovation. Critical thinking can be taught to rising leaders, and we must lead with/model that, too. #HealthInnovationAt15
What has changed, what's the inflection point where we'll start seeing much more AI-based drug discovery? And will it make the drugs cheaper? #HealthInnovationAt15
Day 2 of #HealthInnovationAt15 is off to the races, starting with the @DukeGHI Partners in Focus meeting. Concurrently, the @DukeUniversity Summit on AI in Health Innovation.
Despite all the learnings over the years with AI, the filters funders have for assessing our work has not changed. But it needs to. #HealthInnovationAt15
Innovators see tremendous value in partnerships—achieving speed and access to new markets. #HealthInnovationAt15
To achieve Vision 2035, we have to improve the speed of learning: identifying key problems and failing fast. #HealthInnovationAt15
