Editorial Analysis

Approximately 110 Accredited Social Health Activists in Assam’s Barak Valley provided field inputs at a workshop to design an AI-enabled training platform and multilingual voice chatbot for cervical cancer screening and counselling. The three-year ICMR-funded pilot prioritizes practical community questions and local-language voice interactions to support rural health workers rather than adding digital burden.
