Khushi Baby Strengthening last-mile healthcare through data-driven public health systems

In India, community health workers deliver care to more than 900 million people and make up the world’s largest women-led community health workforce. But despite being the backbone of rural health systems, they are often overburdened with redundant reporting systems, misaligned targets, delayed remuneration, and lack of support and supervision. Lack of high quality patient data is also a major challenge, making it difficult for health workers and officials alike to provide timely and appropriate healthcare that meets varying local health needs. Khushi Baby addresses this challenge by integrating technology-led solutions into government health systems, and by supporting capacity building and data-driven governance that enhances the efficiency of health workers and officials. By combining predictive analytics, AI-enabled chatbots, screening tools, and hands-on training for both frontline workers and officials through its flagship Community Health Integrated Platform (CHIP), Khushi Baby ensures improved service delivery, optimised data-driven decision making, better patient engagement, and stronger system responsiveness.

Scaling impact at multiple levels

Khushi Baby’s approach drives impact at multiple levels by combining data-driven decision-making with stronger local health systems. At the community level, health workers use data across different programmes to provide holistic, patient-centric care, while health officials use real-time insights to enhance programme coverage and respond swiftly to emerging health priorities. At the systems level, predictive analytics identify high-risk populations across multiple diseases, enabling targeted action, including resource reallocation, focused health campaigns, and increased capacity to address healthcare gaps.
