We are talking about a strategic shift from generic healthcare to care that is predictive, personalized, and understands you. This is the world of healthcare that AI is enabling for us.

Let's understand this in the Indian context. According to the National Library of Medicine, India's healthcare needs are changing dramatically—non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for more than 60% of deaths nationwide. Cancer incidences in India are rising alarmingly, with estimates—according to the Indian Council for Medical Research—showing an increase of 12.8% by 2025.

India's unique healthcare challenges, with the glaring gap in access to quality care and doctor-patient ratio, call for solutions that help clinicians decode complex data, spot patterns invisible to the human eye, and make faster, more accurate decisions, predicting the onset of chronic diseases.
