In this fireside chat, Medic's first-ever Co-Executive Directors — Shreya Bhatt and Andra Blaj — sit down for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about 15 years of digital community health innovation, the lessons that shaped Medic's strategy, and what comes next for the Community Health Toolkit (CHT) and the global community around it. From the earliest SMS pilots in rural Malawi to AI-powered tools designed to work offline on low-resource devices, Shreya and Andra explore how Medic has grown from a small experiment into an open-source platform supporting over 180,000 community health workers across 24 countries, and what it will take to reach 350,000 CHWs serving 175 million people by 2028. Whether you're a developer, implementer, program leader, funder, or community health worker, this conversation is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for updates on open-source community health tech, the CHT roadmap, and stories from the frontlines of global health. 🔗 Learn more: CHT Community of Practice: forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org CHT on GitHub: github.com/medic #communityhealth #digitalhealth #opensourcetools #communityhealthtoolkit #chw #healthtech #aiforhealth #ai #aiforgood #cht #Medic #digitalpublicgoods #dpg #opensourcehealth #healthcareinnovation #LocalOwnership #AfricaHealth #mobilehealth #CHW #GlobalHealthLeaders #healthinnovation #techforgood #healthai #lastmile #healthforall #healthequity
