Health programs can now use AI to keep new mothers engaged, reducing drop-offs by 31%

A five-year project in India found that using AI to schedule health worker visits made a big difference. It reduced the number of new mothers who stopped engaging with health programs by almost a third, leading to better health habits.

Global health programs have long struggled to keep new mothers engaged with care, especially with limited staff. This project shows that AI can solve this problem, making existing resources far more effective. It means health organizations can now deploy AI not just for diagnosis, but for the fundamental challenge of consistent patient follow-up.
