Workshops

This grassroots maker workshop blends low-cost innovation with health-tech ideation. Participants build prototypes for frontline health use-cases — triage aids, low-cost diagnostics, patient tracking tools — using everyday or discarded materials, fostering frugal innovation for resource-limited care settings.

This program helps health facilities build live monitoring systems using IoT sensors — tracking cold-chain integrity for vaccines and medicines, indoor air quality in wards, and water and power reliability. Program kits make facility-level monitoring accessible and scalable for under-resourced settings.

This studio nurtures leadership for inclusive, resilient health systems across the Global South. Through peer learning, systems thinking, and policy engagement, it builds a cross-border community of leaders equipped to design, test, and scale ethical health-systems innovations.

This bootcamp prepares health policymakers and regulators to address the safety, quality, and ethical challenges posed by healthcare technologies such as AI diagnostics, drones for medical delivery, and connected medical devices. The program facilitates dialogue between government, providers, and industry to shape standards that are both effective and equitable.

This fellowship equips primary health facility leaders in climate-vulnerable regions to prepare their facilities and care pathways for climate shocks — heat waves, flooding, and supply disruption. It blends facility risk assessment, technology demos, and small implementation grants into a hands-on preparedness journey.

This workshop makes AI accessible to frontline community health actors by connecting field reality with practical machine-learning applications. Participants gather their own health data and apply simple AI models to support triage, risk flagging, or resource allocation decisions.

This workshop trains participants to build compelling public stories about healthcare access and inequality using open health datasets, mapping tools, and visual storytelling — aimed at amplifying underserved communities' voices and making health data advocacy more accessible.

A highly interactive session where participants roleplay as stakeholders in complex health-tech scenarios — patient data misuse, AI diagnostic bias, or health surveillance. These hands-on scenarios build empathy and ethical design instincts for decision-making around technology in healthcare.

This program trains community health workers and local health educators to become trainers in health technology tools and methodologies, building sustainable community health tech hubs. Knowledge transfer stays local, fostering peer-led education and long-term adoption of health innovations.

This lab enables health advocates and frontline workers to harness AI and data visualization tools to tell compelling stories about healthcare gaps, resilience efforts, and system successes — strengthening public engagement and support for health-systems strengthening work.

This program equips health-system logistics teams with tools to track and improve the transparency and integrity of medical supply chains — using blockchain for drug and vaccine traceability and AI for demand forecasting and counterfeit-risk detection.

A hands-on innovation challenge where student teams ideate and build working solutions to healthcare-delivery challenges using basic tech tools — sensors, apps, bots, and AI. A final exhibition invites local health leaders and mentors to boost youth-led health innovation visibility.

A vibrant in-person convergence of last-mile health system enablers — community health workers, emergency responders, and local coordinators — to network, share tools, and co-plan regional health-systems resilience actions, breaking silos across emergency response, delivery, and coordinated care.

This Program strengthens healthcare delivery through drones by training local health and logistics actors. It bridges tech and health through field-driven, context-aware capacity building. By focusing on real-world use cases and training in logistics, drone flight, and data collection, the program ensures that local health systems are empowered to utilize drones for efficient and scalable medical delivery, especially in rural and underserved areas.
This initiative fosters sustainable healthcare infrastructure at the grassroots level.

The workshop trains health and logistics professionals to plan, operate, and simulate emergency deliveries using drones in rural or hard-to-reach regions. Hands-on modules are designed to strengthen real-time response, build confidence in drone tech, and simulate emergency health logistics, preparing communities for crisis-readiness.
