Technology, with its rapid evolution has been taking several industries across India by storm. Most experts in their field are welcoming developments like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) due to their effectiveness and lack of human involvement in accomplishing a host of tasks.

With regards to the business of saving lives, this evolution is truly a relief, with speed being the biggest advantage, which the healthcare industry of the country is reliant on. AI has been making inroads in this sector to ensure not just a quick turnaround, but also accessibility to those in dire need of medical aid and care. IoT too, is gradually being recognised as a key contributor to cause a paradigm shift in the industry.

India’s healthcare industry has its fair share of challenges, including a shortage of manpower; making it difficult to provide prompt relief during medical emergencies, especially in remote areas of the country. To this extent, researchers have huge expectations from AI and IoT, as they foresee the concept of ‘futuristic hospitals’, with a positive perspective on the shift from human processes to robotics.
