Expression of Interest For Readiness For Artificial Intelligence And Data Analytics To Improve Quality Of Care In India

Expression of Interest for Readiness for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics to Improve Quality of Care in India India has made significant progress in improving health outcomes, but the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and persistent variation in health system capacity across states highlight the need for stronger, data-driven health systems. As part of its Service Delivery agenda, the World Bank is supporting efforts to strengthen health service delivery through digital transformation, improved data use, and greater continuity of care. The Government of India has established the foundations for a national digital health ecosystem through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). However, many state-level health information systems remain fragmented, limiting interoperability, data sharing, and the effective use of data for planning, monitoring, and service delivery. As the World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives underscores, the value of health data lies not in its collection alone but in its active use and reuse, with data analytics as the engine through which health data are transformed into actionable insights for clinical decision-making, health system management, and policy at every level of the system. Strengthening data governance, data management, and data analytics capacity is therefore critical to realizing the potential of digital health investments and preparing health systems for the responsible use of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). This assignment will provide technical and analytical support to selected Indian states and relevant federal counterparts to strengthen digital health systems and improve the use of data for decision making. The work will help identify key gaps in health data ecosystems, assess readiness for data analytics and AI, and develop practical actions to strengthen institutional and technical capacity. Specifically, the assignment will: Assess the health data ecosystem in two states, including the maturity of data governance and data management arrangements, mapping of data assets and data flows, implications for data use, and the capacity needs of key stakeholders. Develop data analytics and AI readiness capacity-building plans for two states and deliver initial training activities. The plans will identify priority skills, training approaches, and institutional measures needed to improve data quality, safeguard sensitive health information, strengthen analytical capacity, and promote evidence-based decision making.
