Speed, precision & scale From radiology to gastroenterology, AI's advantage lies in speed and precision. Apollo estimates that AI-assisted documentation alone saves 2-3 hours per clinician daily.
"Our clinical decision intelligence engine helps reduce time to diagnosis by surfacing relevant insights instantly," Dr Reddy explains. "It's already assisting in identifying next best actions for complex liver disease cases and early-stage fibrosis," she adds.
Interestingly, patients may not always realize that AI is involved in their care. "We don't overtly position AI in patient interactions," Dr Reddy says. "But as outcomes improve and diagnoses become more precise, trust builds organically. All data remains securely within our system."
