Question 1

SAHI allows IT companies to freely access Indian patient data to train their AI models.

Accepted Answer

BODH uses a privacy-preserving mechanism where AI models are tested against health data without sharing or exposing the underlying sensitive datasets to the developers.

Question 2

The government is using AI to replace doctors in rural areas where medical professionals are unavailable.

Accepted Answer

SAHI explicitly states that AI must augment human judgment, not displace it, focusing on assisting health workers with clinical decision support rather than independent diagnosis.

Question 3

Consider the following statements regarding the SAHI and BODH initiatives launched in 2026:
1. BODH functions as a digital public good under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission to validate AI models.
2. SAHI mandates the complete automation of primary diagnosis in rural health centres to overcome the shortage of doctors.
3. The BODH platform was developed by IIT Kanpur in collaboration with the National Health Authority.
How many of the above statements are correct?

Accepted Answer

(b) Only two — Statement 1 is correct: BODH is a benchmarking platform positioned as a digital public good under ABDM. Statement 3 is correct: It was developed by IIT Kanpur and the NHA. Statement 2 is incorrect: SAHI explicitly emphasizes that AI must augment human judgment, not replace doctors or fully automate diagnosis.

Question 4

Match the following digital health infrastructure components with their primary functions:
List I (Component)
A. SAHI
B. BODH
C. ABDM
D. ABHA
List II (Function)
1. Creates interoperable digital health ecosystems
2. Unique 14-digit health identification number
3. National regulatory and ethical roadmap for Health AI
4. Privacy-preserving AI benchmarking and validation platform

Accepted Answer

(a) A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2 — SAHI (Strategy for AI in Healthcare for India) is the policy roadmap (A-3). BODH (Benchmark Open Data Platform in Health AI) is the validation platform (B-4). ABDM (Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) is the overarching framework for digital health ecosystems (C-1). ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is the 14-digit unique identifier (D-2).

Question 5

Assertion (A): The launch of the BODH platform allows healthcare AI models to be rigorously tested without compromising patient privacy.
Reason (R): BODH provides technology developers unrestricted access to raw patient datasets collected from public hospitals to train their AI models.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

Accepted Answer

(c) A is true but R is false — Assertion A is true as BODH is explicitly designed as a privacy-preserving benchmarking platform. Reason R is false because BODH evaluates models using real-world data *without* sharing or exposing the underlying sensitive datasets to developers, avoiding unrestricted access to raw patient data.
