AI Partnership to Strengthen CRVS Systems
TAGS

Vital Strategies and the Center for Global Digital Health Innovation at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have partnered for a new collaboration under Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Data for Health Initiative. The partnership aims to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems, improving data quality and enabling governments to transform health data into actionable insights for public health.

 

The initiative will focus on two key areas:

  • AI Tools for CRVS Systems: Applying AI to strengthen CRVS functions, and
  • AI for Data Impact: Using AI to convert CRVS and other health data into timely, practical insights that inform public health decision-making.

 

Working closely with country partners, the collaboration will pilot responsible AI solutions to accelerate digitization, interoperability, and integration of civil registration systems, supporting the development of robust local digital public infrastructure.
