Dear colleague,
Don't forget to register for a special webinar featuring Dr. Rob Korom, Chief Medical Officer at Penda Health, East Africa’s leading outpatient healthcare provider, hosted by The Global Health Delivery Project at Harvard.
Since 2012, Penda Health has served over two million patients across its 16 medical centers in Nairobi. Penda recently partnered with OpenAI to pilot AI Consult, a cutting-edge clinical decision support tool powered by GPT-4o. In a study of nearly 40,000 visits, the tool led to 16% fewer diagnostic errors and 13% fewer treatment errors. You can learn more about the project in OpenAI’s blog or read the full study.
