We are committed to empowering community health workers and public health decision makers with innovative, data-driven solutions
Khushi Baby is dedicated to uplifting community health workers and strengthening rural health systems through the implementation of digital health solutions. In order to address difficulties surrounding health worker burden, robust data collection, and health equity and accessibility, we focus on building program capacity, empowering public health decision-makers with data-driven insights, and conducting research on novel digital innovations. This multi-faceted end-to-end approach ensures that health programs are impactful, culturally sensitive, and responsive to community needs, promoting equity and positive health outcomes at the last mile.
Our flagship digital health platform, the Community Health Integrated Platform (CHIP), is a unified interface with mobile apps for health workers and AI- and GIS-based dashboards for public health officials that incorporate data across several national health programs. CHIP tracks and monitors more than 800 primary healthcare indicators over 40+ apps and portals. This model reduces the labor of healthcare workers while simultaneously enabling improved quality, rapid synchronization, and easy vizualization of data, allowing for efficient public health surveillance and action.

Despite country-wide reductions in maternal mortality, Rajasthan, where Khushi Baby is headquartered, has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country. Hard-to-reach rural populations across the country have been historically missed by the health system and labor intensive paper-based reporting systems are a barrier to a fully functioning continuum of maternal and reproductive care. Our approach to maternal health empowers community health workers (CHWs) with digital tools tailored to last-mile settings. Through Khushi Baby’s digital application, CHWs leverage digital tools and machine learning to prioritize high-risk beneficiaries, access clinical decision-making support, improve prenatal care adherence and access, and address unmet family planning needs.
In Rajasthan, where Khushi Baby is headquartered, nearly one third of all children under the age of five experience stunting or impaired growth, which is often caused by child malnutrition. Khushi Baby’s High Risk Child (HRC) Tracking program integrates transformative digital health tools with India’s pre-existing community health system to identify and link malnourished children with treatment, and their families with support. Khushi Baby aims to facilitate a closed referral loop involving quality data collection, automated flagging, and field verification through digital applications for community health workers, an automated AI-enabled Dashboard, and an engaged team of field monitors. This helps dramatically improve the rate and efficiency of the timely detection of malnutrition among rural children.
“Zero-dose children” is a term used in public health which refers to children who have not received key childhood vaccinations. Despite significant strides in reducing the number of zero-dose children in India, there are still an estimated 70,000 zero-dose children in the state of Rajasthan alone, where Khushi Baby is headquartered. Khushi Baby’s strategy to reach zero-dose and underimmunized children leverages our Community Health Integrated Platform (CHIP) to identify zero-dose children through digital health surveys while working with community health workers (CHWs) to verify vaccination status. Khushi Baby relies on our robust field and implementation teams to educate and motivate CHWs to better reach remote zero-dose children.
In India, two people die from Tuberculosis (TB) every three minutes. The prevalence of TB in Rajasthan, where Khushi Baby is headquartered, is above the national average. As technical partner to Rajasthan's Ministry of Health and Family (MoHFW), Khushi Baby supports the Government of Rajasthan’s active case finding (ACF) surveillance. Khushi Baby’s Community Health Integrated Platform (CHIP) TB ACF module has been used by community health workers (CHWs) in Rajasthan to digitally track the last four state-wide TB ACF activities, screening over 17 million people. CHIP allows the MoHFW to understand the baseline health status of the entire rural population, identify high-risk communities, and implement quality-control linked ACF.
