A tool like AI Consult has exciting potential to act as a second set of eyes by reviewing doctors’ notes in real time. But to get the most out of these innovations, we need to measure real-world outcomes and ensure they’re actually benefiting the communities they serve. 912 204It can be hard to stay hopeful about the future, but through my work with the Gates Foundation and other organizations, I get to see so much proof of progress that helps me stay optimistic. While the bad news can’t be ignored, my trick is to search for the people doing something about it—and the incredible, underrated, life-saving success they’re often having. Here are my favorite examples:
https://lnkd.in/e_xWBjmy 1,512 282Ratul Narain and his team developed TempWatch, a small, wearable bracelet that helps detect hypothermia in newborns early so families can act quickly. It's a simple idea with the potential to save the most vulnerable babies. 1,581 180I’ll raise a glass for lower emissions. 1,178 166Protecting yourself from HIV used to require a daily pill, and you couldn’t miss a single dose or the protection would stop. Now, there is a simple injection that protects you for six months at a time. In places where the barriers to accessing these preventive tools stack up quickly, this breakthrough is massive. 3,471 378My standard for something that belongs on a “summer best” list is simple: It has to be something that completely grabbed my attention. 3,439 297My time in Rwanda reminded me how much progress is possible when innovation reaches the people who need it most. Across the country, scientists, entrepreneurs, and governments are driving breakthroughs that are practical, affordable, and designed for local needs. The results so far are remarkable, and there are plenty more to come: https://lnkd.in/ef8KpZ-j 4,728 444
