Panel: Care Protocols from the Future

Held on September 4, 2025, this is the first public panel in the Human in the Loop series.

Building on the comic, 'The Wandering Healer,' a speculative story about a community health worker navigating the promises and pressures of GenAI in healthcare, the panel seeks responses to the comic’s provocations, exploring how GenAI could reshape frontline care, patient relationships, and equity in India’s health systems.

The panellists were:

• Amrita Mahale, Director, Product & Innovation, ARMMAN
• Alpan Raval, Chief Scientist, AI/ML at Wadhwani AI
• Dr. Shrey Desai (MD, MPH), Trustee, SEWA Rural
• Smriti Parsheera, Independent Lawyer and Researcher, and Editor of ‘Private and Controversial: When Public Health and Privacy Meet in India’
