Overview

AI SAROSH is a pioneering initiative that brings together a multi-disciplinary approach to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) for impactful, evidence-backed interventions in the domain of Sexual, Reproductive, and Maternal Health (SRMH).

Project Description

The AI SAROSH project spans from February 2023 till April 2026, impacting the South Asia region, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Our primary activities involved establishing a centralized knowledge hub for AI applications in SRMH, identifying and facilitating opportunities to enhance existing programs, awarding and managing projects utilizing AI technologies to address key challenges, fostering knowledge exchange, and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration.

As the tech lead of this project, DTDA is playing a pivotal role in building the AI knowledge hub, developing the project's website, creating a digital form of the knowledge hub, designing a user-friendly experience, and providing support in awarding grants. Moreover, we developed a sophisticated reviewer portal, ensured a human-centric design in the reviewer portal, and collected data to build knowledge bases and enhance AI applications.

In addition to these, DTDA handled the core AI tasks including the creation of automation processes, AI data management, supervision of AI solution development, and fostering international collaborations.

Donors and Partners

The AI SAROSH project has been made possible due to the concerted efforts of PHC Global, the Nepal-based G.T.A. Foundation, and is generously supported by the International Development Research Centre.

Project Outcomes and Impact

Though still in its mid-phase, AI SAROSH has made remarkable strides towards its objectives. We have successfully established the AI knowledge hub and the project's website, serving as a centralized platform for information and resources related to AI applications in SRMH in South Asia. We have facilitated significant opportunities to enhance SRMH in South Asia, driven by our AI innovations.

We are diligently working towards identifying, awarding, and managing promising projects that leverage AI to address key SRMH challenges across the region. The AI SAROSH project's multidimensional impact is envisaged to revolutionize SRMH practices in South Asia, marking a new era of tech-infused, research-backed healthcare solutions.
