1 Accelerating Innovation in Global Health Crises The Fighting Ebola and Combating Zika and Future Threats Grand Challenge

2 What will we do with what we ve learned? This was a test of the world s ability to respond to potential pandemics, and it did not go well. Time Magazine, named the Ebola fighter as its 2014 Person of the Year

3 Rapidly sourced 14 innovations under Ebola Grand Challenge reimagined suits healthcare worker tools reimagined care setting 1500 ideas 14 awards ($8.9M) changing behavior ICT decontaminants

4 Providing critical support to test and scale Gaining access to testing sites Testing smart band-aid in IMC ETU in Sierra Leone

5 Providing critical support to test and scale Gaining access to testing sites Helping get critical user feedback (HCD) Baylor s rapidly deployable ETU major design pivot after user feedback

6 Helping get critical user feedback (Human Centered Design) Putting the End User at the Center of the Innovation Design

7 Providing critical support to test and scale Gaining access to testing sites Helping get critical user feedback (HCD) Building partnerships

8 Providing critical support to test and scale Gaining access to testing sites Helping get critical user feedback (HCD) Building partnerships WHO hosted two meetings for innovators Planning for market access and scale MSF hosted innovators at mock ETU in Brussels to review with staff

9 Understanding the Market Unstable Market Makes Innovation Procurement Challenging West Africa Product Procurement during the Ebola Outbreak

10 Understanding the Market Business as Usual Procurement Makes Innovation Procurement Possible Standardized Path to Procurement

11 Technical Support & Expertise SUMMARY: CII Support for Scale and Sustainability Human Centered Design - On the Ground Assessments. Gaining honest context + feedback engaging with health care workers in West Africa - Understanding the Local and Global Context. Acknowledging limitations of the environment and the user, - HCD support helps to refine innovation design, product training + use cases HCD Business Model/ Market Sustainability BIZ - Innovator- Specific Support. Guidance in defining business model and sustainability strategies. - Portfolio Level Support. Broader landscape assessments of emergency epidemic procurement + tangential markets with routine procurement cycles and more predictable markets. Development and Testing - Secured access to testing sites - Lined up external testing facilities - Developed new safety standards (DOD/CDC) R&D Policymakers/KOLs - Developed Strong Relationships with Key Partners including: WHO, MSF, IMC, IFRC, Guinea MOH, and others. - Adapted to the Changing Context. PKS - Continuing to Play a Role in the Conversation. CII has continued to facilitate and support ongoing conversations with global partners.

12 Combating Zika and Future Threats supports a diverse portfolio of innovations 850 ideas Vector Control Personal & Household Protection Vector Surveillance 26 awards ($30M) Disease Surveillance Community Engagement Diagnostics Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

13 Zika and Future Threats is building capacity to respond to vector-borne epidemics Pre-empt epidemics before they start Respond quickly to an emerging epidemic Vector surveillance to quickly identify emerging dangers Community engagement & household protection to slow the spread of disease Vector control to eliminate the threat from key vectors Diagnostics & disease surveillance to support rapid identification of disease spread and coordination of treatment Apply cutting-edge tech to health crises Using UAV technology to accelerate our ability to deploy vector control and respond to outbreaks in far-flung communities We are helping innovators build the tools to respond to this Zika outbreak and the capacity to stop future vector-borne outbreaks before they spread
