Symposium

Sun Pharma Science Foundation National Symposium on “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE”. In collaboration with Department of Bioscience & Bioengineering, School of AI and Data Science, and IITJ-AIIMSJ Med. Tech. Centre, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, JODHPUR

AI has potential to be transformative for healthcare, particularly for a country like India with a large population, inadequate number of specialists and people living far from even primary healthcare facilities. However, the enticing promise and potential of AI in radically improving diagnostics, precision treatment and reduce hospital admin load has not delivered its promises on ground. A wide gap exists between expectations of the practicing doctors and what AI engineers have been able to deliver. For AI to be effective the AI models for India have to be built in India on data from Indian patients. Catalyzing a dialogue between scientists and doctors, is the primary objective of this one-day symposium. It will bring together clinicians, engineers and industry to understand where we stand in terms of technology and its usage, and what are the expectations and needs to fully realize AI’s potential. The symposium will also host panel discussions, where questions, misgivings, and curiosity will be addressed.
