Understanding providers' attitude towards artificial intelligence
in india's informal healthcare sector - a survey study
image
Our new research investigates how informal and AYUSH healthcare providers perceive the adoption of AI for tuberculosis diagnosis in India. A study conducted in Gujarat and Jharkhand revealed that although most healthcare providers believed adopting AI could enhance diagnostic accuracy, there was a significant regional
difference in their willingness to adopt the AI technology. This disparity could be due to the influence of factors such as local healthcare infrastructure, including access to radiologists, and socio-economic factors affecting technology acceptance.

NEW RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT
Evaluating the feasibility and
cost-effectiveness of Wastewater
and Environmental Surveillance
This study aims to expand the scope of Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance (WES), which has already proven its potential during the COVID-19 pandemic, to broader public health challenges. The project will assess the financial and logistical requirements for scaling up WES while analysing its public health benefits.

The team of researchers at ISB MIHM will develop models to map pathogen transmission, sewage network and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different WES strategies. The findings aim to inform policies that strengthen the integration of wastewater surveillance into current surveillance practices.
