In the footsteps of our first two cohorts – disaster management and climate resistance – now Go Build CTO Fellowship welcomes seven new members who are dealing with a very important challenge: health care.
The penetration of health and technology is very important to me. Before I started building distributed systems, I was a radiologist at Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek in the Netherlands. The world, along with passionate doctors who would stay late into the night, knew that an uncontinized work means that patients would have to wait another day for potential diagnoses to save their lives. One colleague, Frank, was constantly telling me that my skills would use BETER building technology that would help people on a scale. The transition was not as drastic as you can imagine, it turned out that in both fields The most important problem is the human problem.
What a way to understand, both in health and technology is that innovation means little if it can get to the people who need it most. Having the most advanced imaging technology does not mean anything unless patients have access to it. The best diagnostic tools in the world are unnecessary if there are people in hospitals that people cannot achieve, or if the results cannot be mixed quickly enough to act and provide care. When you build solutions on places with limited resources, you can only scalp patterns that work in well-funded areas-you have to think differently to everyone.
This dose of colleagues will get it. They work in the vicinity where you cannot always be connectivity where economic reality creates every decision where patients could be days from the nearest clinic. And instead of considering them as a restriction, they use them as a construction restriction to re -present health care and services from the ground up. For example, providing critical information about Maisonnal’s health to remote populations without smartphones or using platforms for sending messages in the field of mental health in areas lacking professional resources. These guys prove that the most effective solutions appear when communities are formed by technology.
With that I would like to introduce the latest dose now Built CTO Fellows (according to their own words).

On the day when the last eight years have transformed adversity in action, building technically driven solutions that bring health care to the front crisis. As a co -founder of Parker’s mobile clinic, I led a team that addressed more than 150,000 people in communities with a shortage and insufficiently operated, by telemedicine driven AI and mobile overseas to close deadly gaps in care. As Executive Director of ITIS, I help train the next generation of African innovators to use AI and digital tools for social changes. I consider the AWS CTO scholarship to be a launchpad for scaling of durable systems, focusing my technical line and boldly reimagin, which is often behind for communities.

As the main technology director of the US Hunger, I lead fees for the acceptance of cloud and a-decorated solutions in an effort to combine food assistance, social care and health care at the national level. I am committed to our vision of “feeding families today and tomorrow’s healthier healthier”, which ensures that any emergency food intervention is paired with strategies for the identification and solution of SDOH gaps, which are the main causes of food uncertainty. Our platforms use food as a gateway, provide real -time action information and metrics in order to connect a family with social benefits, seize organizations and agencies to gain 360 degree understanding people we serve, and help prevent billions of junk. I am grateful for the opportunity that this scholarship provides progress in this mission.

I lead me the mission of Nextgen.org to make quality education to become a global public work. Our AWS-Powed platform provides free health and education to more than 600,000 students around the world, from training more than 100,000 health worlds in DC to science and mathematics teaching to 10,000 children throughout Western and Central Africa. We create educational materials in cooperation with the main agencies, universities, hospital systems and international educational partners.
We recently developed 52 textbooks, exercise books and teachers in several languages in three countries, along with professional development and field research, for a fraction of typical development costs. We are now building an intelligent textbook (ITM), AI-peerd platform, which regulates this approval and facilitates the development of high-quality localized educational materials for each teacher and child. I am grateful for the opportunity to join the now build CTO Fellowship and eagerly strengthen the technical management and AWS expertise needed to expand this innovation and help improve access to education worldwide.

I grew up in a distant village in southern India; Our family had little beyond the food. I was lucky to have won the title and chased my dreams – opportunities that remain out of reach of many children from my village, even today. This contrast shaped my purposes: to help ensure every child – without sex, geography or socially -economic background – is of fair happiness for the life he chooses. Technology is my strength and I believe it can be a powerful equalizer when an application is interested.
At Piramal Foundation, we cooperate with government authorities to help them receive digital technologies and artificial intelligence to improve public services – across health, education and other sectors – according to institutional capacity and data – informed decision -making. We promote the use of digital public goods with open source code, a strong partnership of the public and private sector and robust management frames to make digital transformation programs impact and sustainable.
I am excited to join the scholarship now by Go Build and participate with colleagues Technology from around the world who also use their social impact skills – and learn from their travels.

Our wave was based on building digital medicinal and support areas for surviving sexual damage, domestic violence and children’s abuse – a health crisis that affects 1 of every 3 women and 1 of each 6 men around the world. As a CTO, my team and I mix the traumatically informed clinical research of medicinal techniques with top AI on the pioneers of mental health care platforms for the survivors. To date, we have supported the survivors in 70 countries using the power of scalable cloud computing, which helped us to reach out to the unloaded survivors, which are often covered with traditional services. This community provides an incredible opportunity to cooperate with other innovators for social good and further improve my leadership to intensify our mission.
Based on: Harare, Zimbabwe
I am Sandra Muzambi and work at the intersection of community mental health and digital innovation. I focus on using technology to streamline data collection systems and feedback for initiatives, such as Zimbabwe’s friendship, which helps us better understand and serve our customers. I plant challenges surrounded by data interoperability, scaling of artificial intelligence with man’s papers, by converting raw data into special knowledge and setting out efforts across regional teams by building treacherous construction, which are scalable and locally groups. The Community will help improve these solutions with global knowledge, connect me with peers that solve similar challenges in their owst, and support my goal of scalping the impact over a smarter, more inclusive technology.
Based on: Kenya
As a director of technology in Jacarand Health, I am driven by the belief that no mother or child should be behind. My work is aimed at using the AI force to bridge critical gaps in maternal and newborn health care across Sub -Saharan Africa.
I had the honor of leading an incredible team about the development of pioneering instruments such as Ulizalma, the first open LLM for five African languages, and Ulizamama, a Platform driven by AI, which provides vital health information into their language. These tools allow millions of women to play a more active role in their mother’s health and equip them with the knowledge needed to navigate pregnancy and childbirth.
I am fulfilled to join the now Go Build CTO Fellowship to work with other leaders focused on the purpose and speed up our mission to ensure that every mother and child have a healthy future.
The new series now assembly is on the way
It is difficult to believe that we will approve the first anniversary of the community. In the past year, I had the honor of working closely with our inauguration colleagues in disaster management and climate resistance and their work was not inspiring. And I’m excited to share their stories with the new Now Go Build series on the coming weekends.
Now go build!
