The future of digital health lies with women - innovators, doctors, frontline health workers, and leaders. However, only 12% of artificial intelligence researchers are women, and tech giants (including Google, IBM, Microsoft) employ less than 15% women in AI projects.

 

That's why Women in Global Health has partnered with the Novartis Foundation to host the [#BuildBackBetter Start-Up Digital Innovation & AI Challenge](https://www.womeningh.org/buildbackbetter-challenge), for women-led organizations to advance gender equity through digital and AI solutions for global health security and health systems.

 

On November 18th and 19th, we will have keynote speakers including Ann Aerts, the head of Novartis Foundation, speaking, along with the 6 challenge finalists presenting their innovations for a chance to win a prize worth $20,000 and make their solutions a reality.
