Addressing a diverse gathering of healthcare professionals, researchers, and technologists, Sridhar Babu emphasised the urgent need to integrate Al, data analytics, quantum computing, and other emerging technologies into India's healthcare system. He underlined that Al is not just about technology but about "amplifying intelligence with compassion."
"Healthcare must shift from being reactive to being relentlessly proactive. With the growing burden of chronic diseases and an aging population, technology must help us deliver efficient, affordable, and equitable care," he said.
He also announced the state's plans to create public health profiles for 40 million citizens, scale up Al integration across hospitals, and promote policy frameworks that ensure ethical Al use. He invited global collaboration to help position Telangana and India as leaders in health-tech innovation.
