CHIP background

An integrated public health platform — CHIP

60 Million+

PEOPLE REGISTERED ACROSS 40K+ VILLAGES

10 MILLION+

ADDED THROUGH FIRST-TIME CENSUS IN 5 NEW DISTRICTS IN 2025

ADVANCED MAPPING

Multi-dimensional social-health vulnerability mapped at village level

CHIP is our response to the challenge of fragmented data that leads to fragmented care.

Co-developed with community health workers after 250,000 hours in the field, CHIP is a unified, offline-ready digital platform that consolidates the entire work requirement of frontline health workers across all primary health care programs and cadres into a single digital health interface. It reduces over 180 redundant indicators across 12 national health programs.

60 million+ people in the CHIP registry across 40,000+ villages

Target: 100 million people by 2030 across three states, at least 80% coverage with 80% data quality

The Foundation: A Digital Health Census at the Village Level

Every deployment of the CHIP platform begins with a digital health census — a community health worker-led, structured enumeration of every household and family member within the geography. This establishes the population denominators that make all subsequent targeting possible. Without this foundation, insights are directional at best; with it, they are actionable.

The census establishes a live list of individuals against which longitudinal health programs can follow already-registered individuals. It maps multi-dimensional vulnerability at the village level — social, economic, geographic, and health — creating the substrate for every insight and every action that follows.

How CHIP Enables Closing the Loop

CHIP enables community health workers and health officials to move through the full Data–Insights–Action cycle from a single platform.

DIA cycle
At the data layer

Community health workers use CHIP to perform a digital health census of their village, track health longitudinally across programs, and measure health service delivery progress in a unified interface. CHIP reduces over 180 redundant indicators over 12 national health programs.

At the insights layer +

CHIP empowers health officials with AI and GIS-based dashboards providing real-time monitoring of community needs and health system performance across multiple health programs. Geospatial mapping makes it possible to see where high-risk populations are concentrated, where service delivery gaps exist, and where targeted action is most urgently needed.

At the action layer +

CHIP enables longitudinal follow-up across health areas, ensuring individuals identified as high-risk are tracked throughout their full care journey and not lost between visits, referrals, or departments. The dashboard enables health officials to directly link insights to actions by prompting users to schedule public health outreach interventions.

What’s Unique About CHIP

Positioned as a digital public good to be owned, adapted, and scaled by government health departments

A unified interface across health workers and national health programs.

Co-designed with community health workers and built for the last mile.

Demonstrated 12% improvement in infant immunization rates through automated follow-up mechanisms

Scaled to 85K community health workers across cadres (ASHAs, ANMs, CHOs), across three states, reaching 60M people

INTEGRATION AND INSTITUTIONALIZATION

CHIP does not operate as a standalone tool — it is designed as an interoperability layer across India’s public health data ecosystem.

These integrations include the Ayushman Bharat Digital Health ID (the national health ID system), Poshan Tracker (national nutrition tracking), Ni-kshay (national TB registry), and other vertical health registries. It is these integrations that allow linkage between the identification of a malnourished child in the nutrition department to their treatment completion in the health department.

CHIP also powers India’s first village-level maps of climate-health vulnerability and multi-dimensional poverty for resource allocation decisions across departments. Beyond government systems, eight implementing and research partners have been onboarded onto CHIP.

As of 2025, the platform is connected to 11 state and central govt. platform linkages, enabling data to flow across formerly siloed vertical programs.

Frontier innovations: transforming health practice

SMARTPHONE DIAGNOSTICS
KB is leveraging the community health worker’s smartphone as a non-invasive tool to increase access to timely screening. MAHILA — trained on 3,021 pregnant women — demonstrates over 94% sensitivity and 100% specificity for moderate-or-worse anemia. Validation across medical colleges and primary health centers is underway.
AGENTS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH +
KB is integrating LLM-based tools into community health worker, health official, and call center operator workflows. AshaBot — a WhatsApp-based vernacular companion — had 7,800 ASHAs ask 70,000 questions in 2025.
PRECISION PUBLIC HEALTH DASHBOARDS +
KB is leveraging novel geospatial datasets to develop disease-specific vulnerability indices at the intersection of climate, environment, and health. The Climate Health Vulnerability Index (CHVI), developed with Google, is India’s first village-level climate-health index.
CHIP AS A MEASUREMENT TOOL FOR POLICY CHANGE

CHIP data has been used to inform the Maharashtra Tribal Health Report 2025, an effectiveness study for the Community Health Officer cadre roll-out in Rajasthan, and an Exemplars in Global Health report on digital health platform impact in India.

Partners can leverage the CHIP platform to measure what works by observing changes in real-time, village-level data updated by community health workers.

UNLOCKING NETWORK EFFECTS

We are committed to open-sourcing our platform, data sets, models, and playbooks to activate a partner ecosystem to respond to local public health needs at scale and with rootedness.

Using the DIA framework, we believe we can compound learnings for public health impact. Each additional year of census data improves the accuracy of vulnerability targeting. Each additional integration unlocks a new cross-program view. Each partner onboarded adds evidence towards effective and coordinated public health interventions.
