AIIMS New Delhi has taken a pioneering step in integrating cutting-edge technologies into healthcare by hosting an intensive workshop on emerging technologies, specifically focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI). With AI projected to revolutionise the healthcare sector in India, the workshop aimed to equip medicos with the necessary skills and knowledge to leverage AI's transformative power.

Prof Kanwal Preet Kochhar of AIIMS New Delhi, expressed her enthusiasm about the initiative, stating, "We are thrilled to have organised this workshop that brings together leading minds in the field of AI and healthcare.

Dr Swadeep Srivastav, Founder and CBO, Healthpresso, highlighted the transformative potential of AI in healthcare, saying, "AI represents a paradigm shift in how we approach healthcare delivery. It offers us the ability to analyse vast datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and make informed decisions that enhance patient care. However, with this power comes responsibility. We must ensure that AI is deployed ethically and equitably, addressing biases and privacy concerns to truly benefit society. Healthpresso is dedicated to supporting this transition by providing resources and expertise to healthcare providers."
