Notes from the field on public health & data.
Thought leadership on AI in healthcare, health equity, monitoring and evaluation, and global health program management.
How AI Is Transforming Public Health Decision-Making
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration for public health — it is a present-day imperative. From disease surveillance to resource allocation, AI is reshaping how health systems generate and act on insights.
Health Equity: Moving Beyond the Buzzword to Operational Practice
Health equity has become ubiquitous in global health discourse. But how do organizations operationalize equity as a genuine practice rather than a rhetorical commitment? This article examines the structural changes required to move from aspiration to action.
Building M&E Systems That Drive Adaptive Management
Most monitoring and evaluation systems are designed for accountability rather than learning. This distinction has profound implications for whether health programs can adapt to evidence in real time — or are locked into strategies that the data has long since invalidated.
Digital Health in Low-Resource Settings: What Works
The global digital health landscape is littered with pilot projects that never scaled and technologies that never reached the populations they were designed to serve. What distinguishes the interventions that actually work?
The Hidden Complexity of Global Health Program Management
Global health program management is often underestimated as a technical discipline. The reality is that managing complex health initiatives across cultural contexts, regulatory environments, and supply chains requires a distinct skill set that is rarely formalized.
Health Workforce Development as a Health Equity Intervention
The composition and distribution of the health workforce is one of the most powerful social determinants of health equity. Investing in who becomes a health worker — and where they work — is one of the highest-leverage strategies available to health systems.
