Visionary : Josh NESBIT [CEO, Medic Mobile]
We’re more connected than ever; 90% of the world’s population is covered by a mobile signal, half of all people in Sub-Saharan Africa own a mobile phone, and our moral circles have expanded.
Every day, life-saving actions are enabled by this connectivity and produce data as a byproduct.
Josh Nesbit, CEO of Medic Mobile, canvasses ideas on how to harness technology for global health equity in the world’s most challenging settings, from rural Malawi to the mountains of Nepal.
We must put data mining, artificial intelligence, new imaging techniques and microtask platforms to work solving problems and improving lives.
