AIIMS has partnered with Wipro GE Healthcare to form AI Health Innovations Hub, formalized with a Memorandum of Understanding. It is working towards changing the way healthcare services are delivered in this nation by bringing artificial intelligence to major areas such as cardiology, oncology, and neurology. This is aimed at making better outcomes for patients by better diagnostic accuracy and the real-time tracking of patient data.
Under this partnership, AIIMS will act as the clinical partner by providing expert clinical inputs and a real-life environment to develop and test the AI-driven healthcare solutions developed and tested by Wipro GE Healthcare, which will assume the role of the technology partner for developing, testing, and deploying AI-based healthcare sector-specific solutions.
Wipro GE Healthcare has promised to invest a sum of $1 million for the next five years in this project, with an eye on developing intelligent systems and workflow solutions that can improve healthcare delivery. The focus areas are precision diagnostics, innovative methods of treatment, and efficient patient data management. AIIMS, in return, will facilitate academic research and provide an actual field-testing ground for these solutions.
The joint working committee would co-coordinate this collaboration and representatives from these two organizations would ensure an integration of clinical research with academic engagement and practical implementations. The partnership will abide by India’s vision about improving health care using higher technologies.
M. Srinivas, Director of AIIMS while commenting on the partnership emphasizes the significance of the relationship in the context of achieving the status of a developed nation, where AI-enabled innovations will revolutionize the way patients are treated, according to him. For his part, Parminder Bhatia, Chief AI Officer at GE Healthcare, described how AI will play an important role in India’s rapidly growing healthcare sector, accelerating predictability, preventive care, and diagnostic accuracy. Chaitanya Sarawate, Managing Director of Wipro GE Healthcare for South Asia, described the partnership as a pivotal step toward developing innovative clinical care frameworks that will have a lasting impact on India’s healthcare landscape.
The AI Health Innovations Hub is to become the global model for AI-enabled healthcare solutions. Experts predict that AI could contribute up to $25-30 billion to India’s healthcare GDP by 2025. Additionally, Wipro GE Healthcare plans to invest over Rs 8,000 crore in manufacturing and research and development over the next five years, further strengthening the MedTech sector.
This collaboration between AIIMS and Wipro GE Healthcare is a landmark achievement in the advancement of precision healthcare and critical challenges in India’s medical infrastructure, especially in underprivileged areas. This collaboration has the potential to revolutionize the future of healthcare in India and around the world through better diagnostic and treatment capabilities.
