HealthAI - The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health

What HealthAI - The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health does

HealthAI - The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health is a Geneva-based, independent nonprofit organization founded in 2022 (originally as I-DAIR, rebranded in 2023) that promotes responsible AI governance in health. It serves national governments, health regulatory authorities, policymakers, and a broader Community of Practice spanning international organizations, academia, patient associations, and the private sector. The organization operates four interconnected programs: the Global Regulatory Network (GRN), a country membership network for inter-government collaboration on AI governance that had reached 10 member countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America by July 2026; a Community of Practice of more than 400 member organizations; a Global Directory (β-version) of registered AI-related healthcare solutions; and a Global Early Warning System for adverse-event monitoring of AI medical devices. Supporting offerings include the Knowledge Hub resource library, Micro-Trainings for regulators and policymakers, an upcoming Navigator tool for tailored governance pathways, in-country Discovery Workshops, and an annual Global Governance Forum.

The underlying technology is governance infrastructure rather than AI products: HealthAI develops regulatory frameworks, validation methodologies, policy guidance, and curated knowledge resources, leveraging standards from WHO, IMDRF, OECD.AI, and member-country regulatory authorities. It does not develop AI models or commercial software beyond tool-style interfaces (Global Directory, upcoming Navigator).

The business model is grant-funded: primary revenue comes from government development agencies and philanthropic foundations (Norway/Norad, Singapore Ministry of Health, Canada/IDRC, UK/FCDO, Fondation Botnar, Patrick J. McGowan Foundation), with industry partners (AWS, Johnson & Johnson, Merck KGaA) capped at under 2% of funding. GRN membership, Community of Practice participation, and Knowledge Hub access are provided at no monetary cost to qualifying governments and organizations. Distribution occurs through direct government engagement, the community platform, annual convenings, and partnerships with international normative bodies, with a global operational footprint across Switzerland, Singapore, and 10+ country programs.

Direct peers

• International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF): IMDRF is the international forum that harmonizes medical device regulation across jurisdictions, including AI medical devices. HealthAI draws on IMDRF guidance and its Head of Regulatory Innovation co-chaired IMDRF's AI working group, making it a closely aligned peer in cross-border medical AI regulation.
• OECD AI Policy Observatory: OECD.AI is a multi-country AI policy observatory that tracks AI governance trends and produces cross-jurisdictional policy guidance. HealthAI staff contribute to its expert groups on AI, Data and Privacy, making OECD.AI a structurally similar international AI governance initiative.
• World Health Organization (Department of Digital Health and Innovation): WHO's Digital Health and Innovation Department is the leading global normative body for AI governance in health. HealthAI collaborates closely with WHO and has WHO's Dr. Alain Labrique on its Board, making WHO both a partner and a benchmark for AI-in-health policy leadership.
• Global Digital Health Partnership (GDHP): GDHP is an international collaboration of governments, territories, and WHO focused on digital health policy and interoperability. It overlaps with HealthAI's GRN in fostering cross-country digital health governance among regulatory authorities.
• Partnership on AI: Partnership on AI is a nonprofit multistakeholder organization advancing responsible AI across sectors including health. It shares HealthAI's nonprofit governance model, cross-sector stakeholder engagement, and focus on translating AI ethics into operational practice.
• Transform Health Coalition: Transform Health is a global coalition advocating for equitable digital health transformation, with particular focus on LMICs. Its mission, multistakeholder coalition model, and emphasis on health equity closely mirror HealthAI's positioning.

Emerging players

• Future of Life Institute: Future of Life Institute is a nonprofit that funds AI governance and safety research and advocates for international AI regulation. It shares HealthAI's policy-advocacy orientation and nonprofit structure but focuses more broadly on existential AI risk than the health-specific domain.

Others

• Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance: Gavi is a public-private global health partnership that funds immunization in lower-income countries. It is comparable as a Geneva-headquartered, government-and-philanthropy-funded nonprofit that HealthAI engages with on AI-enabled health priorities.

Broad incumbents

• The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: The Global Fund is a major global health financing institution backed by governments and supported by a Funders' Council-like governance model. It is comparable in scale, donor-funded nonprofit structure, and global health convening role.

Regional players

• Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC): Africa CDC is the African Union's continental public health agency coordinating health policy across 55 member states. With Zambia as HealthAI's first African GRN member, Africa CDC represents a regional governance counterpart and potential continental-scaling channel.
