A Scoping Review of National and International Ethical Guidelines on Privacy and Data Security for AI-driven Diagnostics in Indian Public Health

This scoping review aims to systematically map national and international ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks that govern the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare diagnostics, with a specific focus on privacy, data security, consent, and accountability in the Indian context. Using established scoping methodology (PRISMA-ScR, JBI), the review will extract clause-level data from official policy instruments (e.g., DPDP Act 2023, ICMR AI Guidelines, WHO and OECD reports) to identify convergence, gaps, and implementation challenges in the governance of AI-driven diagnostics in India's public health system. Results will inform safer, more equitable deployment of AI in Indian healthcare.
