An AI tool named Shishu Mapan was demonstrated at the AI Impact Summit to help Anganwadi workers measure children's height and weight remotely via video calls.
During the AI Impact Summit, several indigenous AI solutions were showcased, including the Shishu Mapan tool developed by Wadhwani AI. This innovative tool is designed specifically for Anganwadi workers who operate in remote areas. It facilitates the measurement of children's height and weight using artificial intelligence through video calls.
The Shishu Mapan tool aims to bridge the gap in healthcare and nutrition monitoring for children in areas where direct access to medical facilities is limited. By leveraging AI technology, Anganwadi workers can efficiently assess the growth metrics of children, providing critical data that can influence health interventions and support services tailored to the needs of these communities.
This tool not only enhances the capabilities of local health workers but also represents a significant advancement in the use of technology for social good. As these AI solutions become more integrated into community services, they hold the potential to improve health outcomes and inform policy decisions at regional and national levels, highlighting the importance of remote monitoring in healthcare delivery.
