Digital Tools and Human Touch explores the realities behind India’s digital health transformation through the lived experiences of community health workers. From IVRS calls and WhatsApp groups to AI-powered dashboards and hybrid learning models, the paper traces how frontline workers navigate an increasingly complex digital ecosystem. Drawing on field insights from across states, it highlights a central truth: while technology can enable systems, it is people, through trust, judgment, and human connection, who ultimately transform healthcare delivery at the last mile.
