Digital Health Governance
Join the AI Health Literacy Hub. Collaborate with world-class experts to address the most pressing challenges at the intersection of health, technology, and society.
A Personal Note
The Task Forces program was born from something I have always believed: that the best science happens when brilliant people are given the freedom to follow a question wherever it leads.
I wanted to create exactly that. A space where an expert could recruit their own global team, choose their own topic, and spend six months or more going deep with no borders, no silos, and no constraints on where the work might go, whether a research papper, a webinar, a policy paper …
Too much important research never travels beyond the institution where it was born.
The Hub exists to change that not to direct the science, but to amplify it. To give it a home, a platform, and an audience it deserves.
Each Task Force is built by the people who lead it. We simply make sure the world can hear them.
If you have a question that won’t let you go, I would love to help you build a team around it.
Warmly,
Olga

Women at the Center: Shaping Health Through Data & AI
This task force examines the legal, ethical, and accountability frameworks governing women’s health in the context of increasing reliance on digital health technologies, AI, and large‑scale health data infrastructures. It analyzes how the design, deployment, and regulation of data‑driven health systems affect women’s health outcomes across clinical, public health, and biomedical innovation settings. The task force places particular emphasis on the role of sex‑ and gender‑specific data quality, representation, and governance, and on the implications of under‑representation or bias in datasets, algorithms, and digital service delivery models.
