World Bank approached us to research viable use cases of applied artificial intelligence and facilitate member states to make data-informed decisions. We conducted an in-depth literature review focused on applied predictive analytics in solving the pertinent problems in health and human development. We found that machine learning is mostly used in diagnostics, so we proved in a second project that ML can indeed be used for more efficient budget allocation and policy planning, not just diagnostics.
Hence we validated data availability and the predictive analytics potential within the local organizations and stakeholders, such as measuring the outcome of RMNCAH services in Bangladesh or the purposes of developing strategies for data collection, data engineering, and synthesis from different data sources.
