Maternal health has always been a cornerstone of healthcare, yet India continues to face the challenge of reducing maternal mortality. Despite progress, 88 mothers still die for every 100,000 live births in India. But now, technology is stepping in to lend a helping hand—artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to make maternal care safer and smarter.

Recently, the Federation of Obstetric & Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) partnered with the Koita Foundation to launch a digital maternal care center. This landmark step will empower doctors to integrate AI-driven digital tools into their practice, potentially saving thousands of lives.

What Does the Initiative Aim to Do?

1. Train Doctors in Digital Tools
   Many clinicians still rely on traditional paper-based records. Currently, only 20% of FOGSI members have digitized practices. This initiative will help doctors adopt digital healthcare platforms and use AI to track and analyze maternal health more effectively.
2. Harness the Power of Data
   By gathering large-scale health data from pregnant women, the center aims to identify risk factors early—be it anemia, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or other complications.
3. Reduce Maternal Mortality
   With better insights and early interventions, FOGSI aims to bring down maternal mortality from 88 to 70 deaths per 100,000 live births—a milestone that would be a huge leap for women’s health in India.

Why Does This Matter for Doctors in India?

• Shifting Role of Clinicians: Doctors are no longer just caregivers—they are becoming data interpreters and digital health enablers.
• Rising Patient Expectations: Modern patients expect digital support—reminders, monitoring, and personalized care—powered by technology.
• Future Trend: AI will soon be an essential tool in risk stratification, prediction, and preventive care across all specialties, not just obstetrics.

What Can Doctors Learn from This?

• Adopt Digital Tools Early: From EHRs to AI-based apps, doctors who digitize now will stay ahead in providing faster, evidence-based care.
• Use Data as a Partner: Instead of guessing risk, let AI highlight patterns from thousands of patient cases.
• Focus on Preventive Health: The shift is happening—early detection and prevention will define the next era of healthcare.

Final Takeaway

AI isn’t here to replace doctors—it’s here to support and empower them. With initiatives like FOGSI’s digital maternal care center, the future of maternal healthcare in India looks more promising.

For Indian doctors, this is the right time to ask: “Am I ready to integrate digital health into my practice?”
