PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world's most pressing health challenges.

PATH's AI, Digital, and Data Initiative cuts across the organisation's work, developing and deploying innovations that address some of the world's most pressing health and development challenges. Its portfolio spans the use of generative AI and advanced machine learning to accelerate biomedical discovery and strengthen regulatory systems; the design and scale-up of digital health tools and platforms that improve the safety and reach of healthcare delivery; and the development of data infrastructure and services that put high-quality, actionable data where it is needed most.
