💸 There’s a growing narrative that building GenAI-powered solutions is now “cheap.” And technically, that’s true. But here’s the catch, while models are cost effective, building healthcare solutions that have real-world impact is not.
Once you move beyond proof-of-concept and into scaled deployment, especially in healthcare, the true costs emerge. Not in base conversations, but in engagement, safety, monitoring, and continuity of care. In other words: in the things that make systems trustworthy.
📜 In this blog article, our COO, Paul Isabelli, shares what our multi-year journey building AI for public health has taught us about where GenAI costs really sit, and why cutting the wrong corners can quietly undermine outcomes.

And that’s a wrap on IAS 2025! 🎉
While IAS always carries a sense of collective purpose, this year’s conference hit different. There was a clear resilience among global healthcare leaders, united in the mission to make HIV prevention and care a basic human right.
This incredible community came together not just to reimagine HIV prevention but to put forward real-world innovations with the power to change the game.
AI and self-care emerged as standout themes, with the WHO’s strong recommendation of HIV self-testing (HIVST) for PrEP access cementing self-care as a critical pillar of prevention strategies.

We are proud to have presented and moderated across six AI panels, unpacking the importance of community-led AI and co-design, robust monitoring and evaluation, and building trust through safety and effectiveness.
Key takeaways:
👉🏽 Safety, equity, and cost remain top concerns for communities, implementers, and funders, who want tools that are safe and effective without requiring teams of PhD engineers.
👉🏽 From pilots to scale: Coordinated roadmaps and investments must replace “letting a thousand flowers bloom,” shifting toward scalable, monitored solutions that integrate seamlessly into national EMRs.
👉🏽 Community-first innovation: AI must be designed, monitored, and adapted with communities at the center to solve challenges rooted in their needs.
👉🏽 Tighter budgets, smarter tools: AI can build on digital successes to reduce training costs, improve health worker performance, and boost client uptake.
👉🏽 Resilience & reimagining: AI isn’t a silver bullet – but by rethinking its role, we can amplify what works and push closer to our HIV prevention goals.
🙏🏽 A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners, collaborators, and the inspiring new connections made during IAS. Together, we are reimagining what’s possible in HIV prevention and self-care. Let’s keep pushing forward! 💪🏽
