The Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) has established a comprehensive approach to addressing global health challenges. Central to CBID’s modality on global health is a strategy that integrates education, research, and collaboration. Through its graduate program, CBID trains the next generation of health care innovators to address the specific needs of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Graduate student teams at CBID begin their year with a focus on a health care thematic area associated with a target country.

Sepsis is an urgent medical problem around the world with at least 47 million affected per year. Of those, about a quarter—at least 11 million—die, and many sepsis survivors face health repercussions for the rest of their lives, according to the Global Sepsis Alliance [1] . Along the same lines, the World Health Organization named sepsis as the cause of one in five deaths globally, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes similiarly dire statistics [2] . These are some of many dire statistics that have prompted health agencies and biomedical innovators to address this massive health emergency.

Humanitarian emergencies, catalyzed in part by increased armed conflicts in many parts of the world, have resulted in the precious loss of life and strained or destroyed local health systems that are no longer capable of providing care to those who desperately need it [1] . At the same time, millions of people remain in refugee camps, slums, and informal settlements for decades with limited provisions for adequate and quality care. In addition to existing health challenges, these complex emergencies provide a fertile environment for the emergence of new pathogens that can impact communities and countries all around the world. For humanitarian emergencies and protracted crises, the need for terrain ready and robust diagnostics cannot be underestimated. At the same time, context-appropriate tools to diagnose and manage chronic diseases are also badly needed. Humanitarian agencies, working in these at-risk communities, are often in need of not just cash and medical supplies, but also require trained professionals [2] who are comfortable with technology, can innovate, and guide and train others in appropriate use of technology.

The Most Advanced diagnostic technologies may be amazing, but they often do not make it to resource-limited settings, including those places where particularly dangerous pathogens are more prevalent, crowded conditions make outbreaks more likely, or medical facilities are less available.

Throughout history, the world’s biggest technological innovations have emerged from rich countries. Resource availability, economic prosperity that supports specialization in key areas of science and industry, and the concentrated centers of learning that such economies create all support this model. But history sometimes turns back on itself, and this is one of those moments.

Health Care Innovation is the creation, development, and translation of new and better solutions to health care challenges. At its core, this endeavor does not require extending the frontiers of science or the creation of new fundamental technologies. Rather, it is primarily focused on the use of existing science and established technologies in the design of new solutions to problems in health care. Successfully innovating for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) requires a needs and stakeholder-driven approach to enable development and adoption of available, accessible, and acceptable solutions tailored to the specific need and context of care.

Few themes in health care require the breadth of innovation as closing disparities found in low resource settings. Defining an unmet need for regions and populations who have been deprived of care found elsewhere, and then formulating a solution calls for openmindeness and a broad skill set. The vectors of innovation may range from new technical solutions to changing the care pathway, or novel means of paying for health care.
