If you're part of a student team, startup, or NGO aiming to revolutionize healthcare with AI and chat technology, this opportunity could be your big break.

The Chat for Health & AI Accelerator 2025, powered by Turn.io, is accepting applications for its 24-week global program, designed to help mission-driven teams scale digital health solutions, especially in low-resource communities.

Deadline to Apply

Apply as soon as possible deadline hasn’t been specified publicly but applications are already open and spots are limited. Earlier applicants stand a better chance (Opportunities for Youth).

Who Should Apply?

Ideal candidates include teams or organizations that:

  • Have launched or plan to launch chatbot‑ or AI-driven health tools

  • Operate in low-resource settings (e.g., maternal health, mental health, chronic care)

  • Aim to reach thousands or even scale 10× over the next year

  • Are tech‑savvy, committed, and driven by a people-first mission (Grants Database, Opportunity Desk)

If you're a student startup or NGO working on healthcare innovation, this program can give you access to resources usually available only to larger organizations.

What You’ll Get

Selected cohorts of ~10 teams will receive:

  • $320,000+ worth of tools and resources, including Turn.io’s Health Desk AI inbox and no-code chatbot platform Journeys (Grants Database, Opportunity Desk)

  • Mentorship from global experts in AI, conversational design, behavior change, business modeling, and scaling (Opportunity Desk)

  • A global peer cohort for collaboration and knowledge exchange

  • Pathways to funding, including warm introductions to investors and partners (Grants Database, Opportunity Desk)

  • A final product that’s investment‑ready and data-backed

Why It Matters for Students

  • Build real-world experience, not just academic credentials

  • Develop a working prototype or pilot while receiving mentorship

  • Network globally with peers, mentors, and potential funders

  • Strengthen your resume or portfolio with a high-impact project

How to Prepare

To make the most of this opportunity:

  1. Define your health impact clearly, who you serve and how

  2. Show you’re ready to scale (i.e. you already have traction or a solid plan)

  3. Explain how you’ll use Turn.io’s AI/chat tools concretely

  4. Demonstrate commitment, with team members already onboard and roles defined
