In the toolbox of approaches to global health innovation, design is essential.The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has revealed a few truths about global health: the speed of innovation needs to improve; we need to work more effectively across silos; and we need to understand that global challenges require solutions that take into account local cultures, social systems, and structures for them to be truly successful. There have been unprecedented leaps in biomedical innovation, particularly with drug and vaccine development.1 Despite challenges related to prevention and equitable access to resources, this pandemic has illustrated the capabilities of new innovation ecosystems, notably open innovation involving “purposive knowledge flows across organizational boundaries.”2At once, the pandemic has unlocked new ways of collaborating and has exposed longstanding inequities in societies. Both of these are now a part of our working reality. This is an opportunity to radically rethink how …</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
