Google Research, in collaboration with three pan-African data science communities, hosted a continent-wide Ideathon focused on using Google's open Health AI models to address critical medical challenges. Six finalist teams were selected from over 30 submissions for their innovative ideas and potential impact on African health systems. These teams received mentorship and technical resources from Google experts to develop prototypes and present their solutions, which ranged from cervical cancer screening to automated diagnostics. AI
