Launched in June 2023, this collaborative initiative brings together subject matter experts to explore timely themes in digital health. Each month, we curate, summarize, and comment on recent studies and normative reports, highlighting key takeaways and sharing expert insights from CGDHI researchers and thought leaders from across the globe. 

Research Roundups cover a wide range of global digital health topics, from gender considerations to climate change and from the digitization of community-based information systems to the use of predictive analytics in global health. Some of our past issues have featured our colleagues at the World Bank, Global Digital Health Monitor, and the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, School of Medicine, and Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design.
