Reimagining Health Innovation Through Data 

Join the Call: Data First, AI Later

A global initiative to foster responsible innovation, grounded in data quality, ethical governance, and cross-border collaboration.

The Data First, AI Later Global Movement is a collaborative initiative started at Geneva Digital Health Day, a side event of Geneva's World Health Assembly in May 2025. 

Led by the Health Parliament India, Health Data Forum, and the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD). It advocates for a global shift in digital health innovation, placing data integrity, governance, and inclusivity at the forefront of AI deployment in healthcare. 

By building bridges between policy, research, and practice, this movement empowers stakeholders to co-create ethical, sustainable, and trustworthy AI solutions rooted in high-quality health data.

Three organisations are jointly supporting this initiative to promote sustainable healthcare.
