ABSTRACT
Threats to newborn and child health due to climate change, emerging non-communicable diseases among children and adolescents, the existing burden of newborn and child mortality, and added to that ensuring every child and adolescent should survive and thrive. Digital solutions hold promises, especially in reaching remote areas, inclusion and ensuring equitable primary health care. This commentary raises the question, are we ready to use digital solutions and artificial intelligence to achieve transformations in child health at the population level? If not, what is the paradigm shift required to design and implement digital and artificial intelligence solutions at scale that are effective, sustainable, and beyond small pilots?
