“As a social entrepreneur, I was self-taught, neither a theoretician nor a scholar. Over the years, I developed a set of 11 working principles that became my modus operandi.” John Marks, the founder of Search for Common Ground, shares what he’s learned from building the enterprise from zero into the world’s largest nonprofit organization involved in peacebuilding. #nonprofits #leadership

“If we as doers are willing to make decade-long commitments to our constituents (children, mothers, families), then we need the same bold commitment from philanthropic #donors.” The debate over big bets continues at ssir.org with insights on how to improve this bold kind of #philanthropy from James Nardella of Last Mile Health and Maharshi Vaishnav of Educate Girls, two leaders at organizations that have received multiple big bets. “Patient capital and long-term backing is the boldest bet because it will lead to sustained change. If we can shift our mindsets and plan for longer doer-donor collaboration then we have a better chance of equipping local governments and communities to address their own needs, edging our way out of business, and changing the world for good.”

As an avid reader of Stanford Social Innovation Review for more than a decade, I'm excited that Intelehealth has been featured for our work in using AI to improve the quality of health service delivery. Thank you Kevin Barenblat Fast Forward From the article: "Intelehealth is an open-source telemedicine platform that connects patients and frontline health providers in rural communities throughout India with remote doctors to deliver affordable health care Intelehealth is piloting how AI can help health workers manage a larger population efficiently. They are currently testing how AI-powered image analysis tools could drive early detection of diseases by analyzing medical images like photos, x-rays, and MRIs. The pilot includes how natural language processing (NLP) applications could help health care professionals extract pertinent information from medical documents, improving decision-making and enhancing the quality of care. Intelehealth is piloting a range of commercially available AI tools (Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Meta’s Llama). To mitigate errors and hallucinations, Intelehealth regularly refines its prompts, re-trains its models on relevant cases, and provides datasets that enrich the algorithms’ understanding of regional and demographic variations. Ayu is increasing access, improving quality, and advancing gender equity. To date, it has been deployed to over 100,000 health care workers throughout India in partnership with various state governments."
How are health-care nonprofits leveraging AI to advance health equity? Research from Fast Forward and analysis from the The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation shows AI’s potential to increase access to quality care, reduce mortality rates, discover new medical treatments, and pioneer new forms of care. Kevin Barenblat of Fast Forward and Nick Cain of the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation share three case studies of AI-powered nonprofits focused on health and centered on equity and ethics in their deployment of AI: Intelehealth, Jacaranda Health, and Reboot Rx. “Whether it’s cancer drug researchers or frontline health workers in India, people working on the frontier of health care now have an indispensable partner: AI. But in each context, users need an expert-informed, patient-driven, and equity-focused plan to apply it responsibly.” #nonprofits #health #healthcare #AI #artificialintelligence
