Global Regulatory Network (GRN)

The Global Regulatory Network (GRN) is the only platform for inter-country collaboration on governance across all types of AI use in health. Established by HealthAI – the Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health, the GRN brings together committed governments and regulatory authorities to share knowledge, identify best practices, and strengthen their national regulatory systems for AI in health.

GRN members receive direct technical assistance and advisory support from HealthAI, gain exclusive access to the Global Public Directory of AI-related Registered Solutions for Health, where locally validated AI solutions can be showcased worldwide, and participate in the Global Early Warning System, which enables timely reporting and response to adverse events within the GRN.

Membership is grounded in collaboration: HealthAI works closely with each country’s health ministry and relevant competent authorities, drawing on guidance and standards from WHO, IMDRF, and other global normative bodies, to help governments implement globally aligned regulatory mechanisms that ensure the safety and effectiveness of AI solutions in health.

GRN membership is open to national governments, ministries of health, national regulatory authorities, and other government institutions with a mandate for AI governance in health.

Tailored to Local Realities: Every membership begins with a baseline assessment and analysis of a country’s regulatory system for AI in health — identifying strengths, gaps, and priorities. Discovery Workshops, in-depth trainings and technical support are then designed around a specific context, ensuring relevance and progressive advancement.

World-Class Expertise: Members gain priority access to HealthAI’s global network of technical advisors, regulatory specialists, and thought leaders in Responsible AI in health. This includes in-depth training, workshops, and ongoing implementation advice to build the capacity and capabilities of the local regulatory team.

Collective Intelligence: The GRN enables governments to learn from one another by securely sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices for governing AI in health. The Early Warning System further supports members by enabling timely reporting of adverse events and coordinated responses, helping countries stay ahead of emerging challenges.

Promote Local Innovation: A strengthened regulatory environment provides clarity and stability, attracts investment, and fosters high-quality innovation. GRN members can exclusively showcase their locally validated AI solutions in the Global Public Directory, giving national innovations worldwide visibility.

Global Recognition and Visibility: GRN membership positions countries as leaders in Responsible AI in health. HealthAI actively promotes its member countries at international forums, amplifying their voices globally and enhancing their credibility with other governments, multilateral organizations, and the private sector.

New Revenue Streams: Membership can generate new revenue streams for regulatory agencies and public budgets, enhancing funding for regulatory mechanisms and additional investment capacity. Accelerated, standards-based approval processes and increased efficiency across GRN countries can also deliver significant cost savings.

GRN membership is open to national governments, ministries of health, national regulatory authorities, and other government institutions with a mandate for AI governance in health.

HealthAI assesses prospective members against the GRN Qualification Model to ensure readiness and alignment, and works with countries throughout the process to support them in meeting the criteria, as well as providing further details of the benefits and activities carried out in the GRN program.

The journey begins with high-level engagement with your Ministry of Health, National Regulatory Authority, and any other institution responsible for AI governance in health. HealthAI will share the full Membership Agreement and conduct a review to confirm alignment with the GRN Qualification Model across four domains: strategic alignment, government-level commitment, regulatory readiness, and commitment to contribute to the Network.

Once qualification is confirmed, HealthAI and the country finalize the membership agreement — including data-sharing provisions for the HealthAI Global Public Directory of Registerd AI-Related Healthcare Solution, and the Global Early Warning System. An official signing ceremony and official announcement marks the official start of the membership and unlocks access to HealthAI's full technical support, advisory services, and the GRN's global peer community.

HealthAI conducts a desktop review followed by an in-country discovery workshop that brings together diverse stakeholders. The workshop introduces key AI regulatory concepts, assesses local AI governance landscape, and evaluates existing regulatory capacity and training needs. HealthAI then produces a baseline assessment report and implementation plan outlining gaps, priorities, and actionable recommendations tailored to the country.

Based on the implementation plan, HealthAI works with the local team to strengthen regulatory capabilities through training and workshops grounded in global standards and best practices. The next steps involve formally onboarding the country to the various tools, such as the HealthAI Navigator, a step-by-step interactive tool that helps governments tailor a path to responsible AI in health. The partnership journey continues with ongoing monitoring and annual review of progress to ensure a successful implementation.

Countries worldwide are invited to express their interest in becoming a GRN member. Whether your regulatory system is well-established or still developing, HealthAI will work with you to assess your readiness and chart a path to membership, helping your country advance the trustworthy and responsible use of AI in healthcare.
