Assam ASHAs Contribute to AI Tool Development for Cervical Cancer Screening
Around 100–110 Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) in Assam's Barak Valley participated in a workshop to help design an AI-enabled training platform and multilingual voice chatbot for cervical cancer screening and counselling. Organized by the George Institute for Global Health India and Cachar Cancer Hospital, the workshop involved reviewing 155 common questions about cervical cancer. ASHAs identified frequently asked questions from their fieldwork, highlighting differences between community concerns and clinical priorities. These insights will guide the development of digital tools to support ASHAs in rural health outreach.
