Changing white noise into pink noise: For white aprons

AI is being wielded to automate, simplify, accelerate, smarten and sharpen a lot of areas in healthcare. But what happens when it is used where it all starts – diagnosis? Anuj Gupta, Co-Founder of AI4Rx, helps to dissect why, how and where AI helps to bridge the gap between doctors and patients

▾ When there are so many AI solutions emerging in the healthcare space, what sets you apart? What new problem or answer is AI4RX after?

We are focusing on empowerment of patients and tools for tech-savvy doctors. We want to shorten the distance between the moment a patient thinks of a doctor and the moment of final diagnosis. All the time, confusion, lack of clarity that occupies this distance – can be cut away when AI asks the right questions to a patient and presents them in a crisp, and spot-on, way to the doctor. AI4Rx has two apps: MedBeat HealthConnect for patients for medical summary generation; and MedBeat HealthConnect Plus for medical institutions (Doctors’ OPD, Clinics & Hospitals) – In addition to patients’ summary, it also provides differential diagnoses to the doctor who can then correlate clinically. It uses AI to not just get an accurate medical summary of patients’ ailments and symptoms, but also offers differential diagnoses. MedBeat HealthConnect Plus is meant for the doctors or the medical community (Doctors, clinics and hospitals) and is a B2B app. This group will also be able to access AI-generated differential diagnoses, based on the symptoms of their patients, which they can then correlate clinically with physical examination. This diagnoses feature is not available to the patients or for the non-medical community.
