From enabling community-health workers to better serve patients in remote areas to helping governments in preventing deadly outbreaks, AI shows tremendous potential. Health Systems across the world face hindrances and glaring shortages of workers, medical equipment and other resources that need innovative approaches to overcome. AI shows great promise in not only optimizing existing resources and greatly enhancing healthcare delivery but also breaking the fundamental tradeoffs in health access, quality, and cost.
While the promise lies but it is accompanied by a dearth of proven and scalable solutions, with opaque barriers and a lack of an enabling environment for such innovations to scale.
The PHIXAI Tech Challenge aims to stimulate the ideation, development, and validation of AI-driven solutions in public health. By providing a platform for tech enthusiasts, startups, and innovators, it seeks to catalyze groundbreaking solutions with tangible impact on global health outcomes.
