2019 Global Digital Health Forum
The Digital Square team, along with other members of PATH’s Center of Data and Digital Excellence will be joining colleagues and collaborators from around the world for the 2019 Global Digital Health Forum. This year's Forum - Celebrating Innovation and Supporting Proven Practices at Scale - seeks to balance the need for evidence based scaling of proven systems with the urgent need to determine how emerging technologies and approaches can dramatically improve health outcomes.
This event gives us an opportunity to come together as a community, learn from one another, and celebrate the continued success and evolution of the digital health and data sector. This year has been especially exciting for PATH’s digital and data team, with the launch of the Center of Digital and Data Excellence, the continued growth of Digital Square, and a number of important milestones for Tanzania’s Data Use Partnership. Below is a curated list of panels featuring PATH team members. For a full list of all PATH speaking engagements, please view the attached document.
