Description
Nanuka Jalaghonia, Rumana Huque, and David Daniels wrote a 2026 commentary drawn from the eighth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research. Their question is whether new tools, digital ones and AI, can help health systems in disaster-prone places withstand shocks without leaving more people behind. Such places face repeated climate events, outbreaks, and waves of people forced from their homes, all of which interrupt care.
Talks described digital dashboards, linked data systems, AI decision aids, and local projects that improved detection and kept care going during crises. Such tools can make neglected groups visible to planners. Yet the authors warn that technology alone guarantees nothing. Tools built on data that miss whole groups, or run under weak rules, can widen exclusion instead. They argue new tools pay off only when agencies are ready, rules are clear, safeguards are real, and local people help design what gets built.
