Abstract: Digital technologies posit an immense opportunity to provide scalable solutions for narrowing the health equity gap and proving affordable access to quality healthcare in low resource settings. A key step towards harnessing the power of digital health is developing a scalable mechanism for identifying the socioeconomic profile of end users. Socio-economic status (SES) of individuals has been classically estimated through standard questionnaires. This methodology is not scalable and prone to immense bias if implemented digitally as a self-report questionnaire. Together for Her (TFH) is a digital app for pregnancy that aims to provide equitable access to quality pregnancy information and support to pregnant women in India. To assess our reach to users from low socio-economic settings, we developed a machine learning model that leverages digital indices for estimated SES. We propose this approach holds immense value for digital health interventions, both as a mechanism for gaining insig ht on the socio-economic profile of users being reached and as an evaluation metric for interventions aimed at driving health equity.
