AI with AI: Accelerating Impact with Artificial Intelligence

Smarter health, for every system, every caregiver, every life.

At Jhpiego, AI isn’t about flashy algorithms or headline-grabbing tech. It’s about amplifying care, supporting caregivers, and strengthening care ecosystems—ensuring that intelligence reaches the front lines, not just the cloud. Our north star is to bring intelligence to people, providers, and public health systems.

Across countries, Jhpiego is embedding AI into the DNA of health delivery.

Primary health care: We’re building AI tools that support Community Health Officers with just-in-time triage and clinical decision-making.
Maternal and newborn health: We’re using risk stratification to flag vulnerable pregnancies — enabling proactive, life-saving care.
HIV care: AI-powered assistants are helping teams prevent loss to follow-up, personalize adherence support, and drive differentiated service delivery.
Cancer care: We’re exploring AI-integrated diagnostics that can accelerate screening and close the gap in early detection.
Workforce development: Our conversational coaching avatars simulate real-world mentorship — giving nurses and midwives a 24/7 tutor in their pocket.
Health system planning: By turning patient feedback into insights, we’re helping district managers re-shape services around what people actually need.
Data intelligence: We’re enabling administrators to move from raw data to action — with AI dashboards that detect trends, flag risks, and improve equity in service delivery.

Why Are We Doing This? Because care is too important to leave behind.

Every day, nurses like Chipo in Kwara, Nigeria, or Seema in Madhya Pradesh, India, make split-second decisions under enormous pressure. They don’t have time to sift through dashboards or policy manuals. They need smart, human-centered tools that act like a colleague, not a computer.

And patients like Christopher, a 17-year-old managing HIV in Lusaka, or Nang Htar, a 24-year-old new mother in Myanmar struggling with postpartum depression, deserve systems that can see them, support them, and stay with them, even when they can’t make it to a clinic.

We’re doing this work because the challenges are urgent. The opportunity is even greater. And we’re just getting started.

OUR APPROACHES

We’re not a tech company—we’re a health partner.

Jhpiego doesn't build tech for tech’s sake. We bring decades of health systems experience to the table, helping shape how AI is responsibly adopted. Our role is to ensure that AI is people-centered, health-aligned, and grounded in realities on the ground, create learning and not just innovation headlines.

We remain locally responsive, globally relevant.

We co-create every AI tool with ministries, frontline workers, and communities. That means understanding real-world challenges — from language barriers to limited connectivity — and designing AI tools that fit seamlessly into existing workflows.

We remain rooted in ethics, equity, and dignity.

We prioritize AI tools that are safe and never discriminatory. Our work uplifts those most often left behind women, adolescents, and marginalized communities. We design for trust, transparency, and human dignity, ensuring AI doesn’t widen health gaps but helps close them. Every solution we build starts with the question: “Is this safe, fair, and respectful for those we serve?”

We build with systems not around them.

Jhpiego’s AI innovations are not siloed pilots. They're deeply embedded in national digital health architectures, aligned with strategic goals and ready for scale. We ensure our tools are sustainable, and responsive to government priorities. Because embedding AI into public health isn’t just smart — it’s essential for lasting impact.

We go further with our partners.

This is not work we do alone. Our progress depends on strong partnerships — with governments, research institutions, funders, tech providers, and communities. Together, we pool insights, align with country strategies, and scale what works.
