PREMIER COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER IN THE CLOUD (C4)

Imagine if you could take one of the best comprehensive cancer center in the world such as the Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center, or MD Anderson Cancer Center and put that in the cloud, where anyone can access the same quality of care. The C4 vision is to make this imagination real in the USA and around the world leveraging AI, and other technologies like Virtual Realiity (VR), hologram technology, quantum technologies, etc to make world-classs CaRE (Care, Research, and Education) available to all no matter where you live. The C4 was launched during the Global Health Catalyst summit at Harvard Medical School as a win-win collaboration approach involving thousands of oncology health professionals from world leading institutions and the diaspora, working with industry and governments and community-based organizations to increase access to CaRE. The award-winning collaborative approach has had major impact with opportunity for anyone interested in addressing disparities to participate in any of the 4 CORE (Care, Outreach, Research, and Education) areas. On June 7, 2025, during the GHC Hope summit at MIT, the AI-powered integrated C4 platform was launched. The CORE applications of the C4 can be found below and also provides a platform for collaboration with different stakeholders around any of the CORE areas.

Global health research collaborations are crucial in closing the cancer divide, eliminating global cancer health disparities. Key barriers to such collaborations identified at GHC summits include: distance, time, cultural and resource barriers. The GHC provides a platform to overcome these barriers catalyzing high impact collaborations involving researchers in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) and High Income Countries (HIC) by leveraging 1) advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) and artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome distance-time barriers, and 2) unprecedented outreach to the industry and the resource laden diaspora to overcome resource and cultural barriers.
