  • From awareness to public health policy action: operational gaps in One Health implementation among frontline workers in Western India—A mixed method study
    Krishna Jasani, Krupal Joshi, Ashwini Agrawal, Om Prakash Bera, Margubur Rahaman, U. Venkatesh, Jayesh Vakani
    Frontiers in Public Health, 2026
    Background India has increasingly endorsed One Health at the policy level. However, evidence on its operationalization at the district level, particularly among frontline public-sector workers, remains limited. This study assessed the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (AKAP) related to One Health among frontline personnel in Gujarat, India. Methods A convergent mixed-methods study was conducted from January to June 2025 in Rajkot District, Gujarat. Quantitatively, 400 frontline workers from five departments (Health, AYUSH, Animal Husbandry, Food Safety, and Environment) were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling and interviewed using a validated AKAP questionnaire. Qualitatively, in-depth interviews were conducted with 25 purposively selected participants. Descriptive statistics, multivariable logistic regression, and exploratory factor analysis were performed for quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used for qualitative findings. Results Overall, 72% of participants were aware of the One Health concept, and 71% demonstrated positive attitudes toward its implementation. However, only 45% reported good One Health practices. Knowledge and attitude scores were significantly higher among Health and Animal Husbandry personnel compared with Food Safety and Environment sectors ( p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis identified high knowledge (aOR 2.8; 95% CI 1.9–4.2), positive attitude (aOR 2.3; 95% CI 1.6–3.4), prior One Health-specific training (aOR 3.1; 95% CI 2.0–4.9), and work experience >5 years (aOR 1.4; 95% CI 1.0–2.0) as independent predictors of good practice. Qualitative findings highlighted fragmented governance, limited interdepartmental coordination, lack of formal mandates, and absence of dedicated resources as major barriers to effective One Health implementation. Conclusions Despite high awareness and favorable attitudes, the translation of One Health principles into routine practice remains limited at the district level. Institutionalizing structured training, strengthening intersectoral governance, and prioritizing inclusion of environmental and food safety sectors are essential to operationalize One Health effectively in India and similar low- and middle-income settings.
  • AI and Human-Robot Interaction in Healthcare: A Narrative Review
    Naisargika Jena, Manish Taywade, Krishna Jasani, Krupal Joshi
    Indian Journal of Community Health, 2025
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is multidisciplinary field that explores the dynamic interaction between human with human-like across social, cognitive, ethical, and technical dimensions. This review synthesises benefits and challenges faced in AI-HRI in the field of healthcare, categorising the literature into various thematic areas like social interaction and emotional engagement in children, mitigating social isolation in elderly, ethical considerations, reducing burden on healthcare workers, rehabilitative robots, surgical robots and eventually increasing the efficiency of workflow in hospitals. Foundational works establish the significance of autonomy, collaboration, and multimodality. At the same time, recent studies emphasised the significance of empathy, user acceptance, and the subtle impact the robots can have in social and domestic settings. Ethical analysis highlights both potential risks and benefits of AI-HRI, particularly in special group of population like specially-abled children, elderly, etc. Application-based research further highlights the importance of robots in service-related to healthcare, and hospitality environments. Affective computing helps create systems that understand emotions, making interactions with technology feel more natural and human-like. Together, these insights chart a comprehensive landscape of HRI, informing the benefits and risks of socially and ethically responsible robotic agents.

    Indian Journal of Medical Research, 2025
    Background & objectives Immunisation is a cornerstone of public health, significantly reducing vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) mortality. The World Health Organization-United Nations Children’s Fund (WHO-UNICEF) effective vaccine management (EVM) initiative provides tools to enrich vaccine supply chains. This study evaluated the effectiveness of cold storage management in western part of India, using EVM criteria, comparing performance across districts with varying full immunisation coverage (FIC). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in six districts (3 high-FIC and 3 low-FIC). Data were collected from 90 service points (SPs) and six district vaccine stores (DVSs) using the WHO EVM tool and structured questionnaire with 204 stakeholders. Secondary data were obtained from vaccine management records and analysed to assess the performance of the vaccine supply chain. EVM criteria scores ( e.g. , temperature control, stock management) and category scores ( e.g ., infrastructure, maintenance) were compared to the global benchmark of 80 per cent. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the data, while the Shapiro-Wilk test assessed normality. Depending on the distribution, independent samples t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests were applied to compare EVM scores across relevant groups. Results Gujarat achieved strong scores across most EVM criteria, i.e., temperature control (99%), storage capacity (98%), maintenance (99%), and vaccine management (96%). Management Information System (MIS) and vehicle infrastructure had the lowest scores, with MIS scoring 79 per cent and vehicle infrastructure scoring 80 per cent, slightly below the WHO-recommended benchmark. High- and low-FIC districts showed no statistically significant differences in overall performance, as measured by the EVM composite score (mean EVM score difference: 1.75 percentage points, P >0.05). Category analysis highlighted high scores in buildings (95%), capacity (97%), and training (99%). Compared to earlier assessments, Gujarat demonstrated significant improvements in supply chain efficiency. Interpretation & conclusions Gujarat’s vaccine supply chain has demonstrated substantial improvements, meeting or exceeding global benchmarks in most areas, though targeted improvements in MIS and vehicle infrastructure are necessary. The findings emphasise the importance of robust vaccine management systems for public health success.

    Indian Journal of Community Health, 2025
    Background & Objective: The effectiveness of Ice-Lined Refrigerators (ILRs) is crucial in maintaining the cold chain for vaccines, particularly in India's Universal Immunization Program (UIP). This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the performance of top-and front-opening ILRs in Gujarat, focusing on temperature stability, holdover time, and functionality. Methods: A total of 123 ILRs from various manufacturers were assessed across urban and rural health facilities. Key parameters such as ambient temperature, breakdown frequency, ease of use, and temperature fluctuations during door openings were recorded. Mann-whitney U test/ t-test and Binary logistic regression model were used as statistical methods. Results: Analysis indicated that top-opening ILRs, which made up 72.4% of the sample, performed significantly better in maintaining temperature stability and had a longer holdover time (mean: 5.4hours) compared to front-opening ILRs (mean: 4.3hours). Temperature breaches were more frequent in top-opening models (34.8%) compared to front-opening ones (5.9%), but the front-opening ILRs exhibited a greater temperature rise during door openings. Logistic regression analysis revealed a strong association between longer holdover time and top-opening ILRs. The study also found infrastructure and training gaps at some facilities, with only 57.7% of ILRs equipped with functional temperature monitoring systems, and many health workers lacking updated training. The findings suggest that top-opening ILRs are more reliable for cold chain management, though further investigation into front-opening models is warranted. Conclusion: For future cold chain management, prioritize top-opening ILRs for their reliability, increase AMC coverage for consistent maintenance, and enhance training for personnel on ILR handling, especially with newer models. Additionally, invest in backup-power and temperature monitoring equipment to prevent temperature breaches, particularly in remote areas.
  • Nutritional Status of Children and its Relation to Maternal Factors: An Endeavor Toward Better-Nourished Western Rural India
    Krishna M. Jasani, Vibha V. Gosalia, Shobha V. Misra
    Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 2025
    Introduction: Malnutrition has a direct impact on infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rates, which are prime indicators of the health status of a country. COVID-19 has also substantially affected the nutritional status of children. Hence, the objective is to highlight the magnitude of malnutrition and associated maternal factors in rural areas of Rajkot district. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to May 2022 among children up to six years of age registered in the Anganwadi centers (AWCs) of Rajkot district. To achieve the desired sample size of 504, a multi-stage sampling method was used. Statistical significance for all comparisons was based on the Chi-square test and factors with P value <0.05 were considered for binary logistic regression. For nutritional status assessment, a Z-score was obtained using WHO Anthro 2011 software. Results: Out of the total 504 participants, 50.2% were female and 49.8% were male. The mean age of the participants was 32.43 ± 18.7 months Prevalence of underweight, stunting, and wasting was found to be 39.1%, 36.7%, and 30.5%, respectively. After adjustment by binary logistic regression, a significant correlation was found between different forms of malnutrition and the age of participants, education of the mother, type of family, socio-economic class, mother’s age at the birth of participants, and birth weight. (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of acute malnutrition (wasting) is higher than the national, state, and regional average in this study. Thus, more emphasis should be given to better utilization of services such as nutritional supplementation, nutritional rehabilitation, and growth monitoring along with treatment of morbidities.

  • Diagnostic Accuracy of Mid-Upper Arm Circumference for the Detection of Acute Malnutrition Among Children Aged 6–60 Months: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study
    Krishna M. Jasani, Vibha V. Gosalia, Shobha V. Misra
    Journal of Research in Health Sciences, 2024
    Background: Timely and accurate screening of malnutrition at the community level is essential to identifying malnourished children. The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines classify non-oedematous acute malnutrition among children using mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) or weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ). Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was conducted among children aged 6‒60 months. After necessary exclusions, 433 participants were selected using a multi-stage simple random sampling method. Using WHO guidelines for global acute malnutrition (GAM) [WHZ<-2, MUAC<12.5 cm], the sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), predictive values, likelihood ratios, Youden index, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were calculated for MUAC using WHZ as the criterion. Results: Out of 433 participants, 30% were diagnosed with GAM using WHZ, while 17.6% were found malnourished using MUAC measurements. As per WHO cut-offs, the Se, Sp, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), Youden index, positive likelihood ratio (LR+), and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) of MUAC were 48%, 96%, 83%, 81%, 0.44, 12, and 0.54, respectively. The ROC curve displayed an area under the curve of 0.86 (95% confidence interval=0.83, 0.90) for MUAC<12.5 cm. Bivariate Pearson correlation also demonstrated a positive linear relationship (R2=0.302) between the WHZ and MUAC variables. Conclusion: Based on the findings, 48% of the children were correctly identified by the MUAC with an 83% probability of GAM (PPV=0.83). Moreover, there was 96% Sp in non-malnourished children, with only 4% false positives. Therefore, personnel at the grassroots level can use MUAC for timely and accurate screening of children in Anganwadi centers (AWCs) due to its ease of use and simplicity.
