Primary health care and AI 3.0
A panel discussion on the potential uses of AI in primary health care, with a focus on lower and middle income country settings.
This session builds on our previous seminars on Primary Health Care and AI which took place on 13 November 2024 and 28 January 2025. During this seminar we will explore in greater depth specific use cases where AI might add value for primary health care. We will discuss what AI tools are likely to emerge in the next few years, in particular in low- and middle-income settings, their potential benefits, risks and what global governance structures for the application of AI in primary health care may be needed.

Sanjay Kinra
Dr Sanjay Kinra is a Clinical Epidemiologist. His primary research interest is in Applied Artificial Intelligence in Global Health. He is passionate about developing low-cost solutions to improve healthcare (mainly primary healthcare and care of non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease) in low-resource settings. He tries to do this by using digital technologies and AI to empower primary healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, community workers, even lay people) with decision support tools and diagnostics so they can deliver more advanced/specialist care at lower cost. He is also very interested in behaviour science and traditional therapies (such as yoga and Ayurveda). He conducts his research mainly in India and South/SouthEast Asia region. He teaches and supervises PhD students in the same areas.
