State Bureau, Lucknow. In a two-day conference organized at Hotel Centrum regarding the utility of AI-based systems in the health field, experts focused on the improvements in diagnosis and treatment.
Through the presentation, it was shown how city-like quality medical care can be provided to villages through AI based systems. This technology detects danger signs in pregnant women. By taking the woman to the hospital, the lives of both the mother and the child can be saved.
Medical Health and Family Welfare Secretary Dr. Pinky Joval said that the benefits of AI will be available only by empowering frontline health workers. Asha workers, Anganwadi workers, ANMs and doctors provide health services to every village.
If technology comes together then the treatment will be better. He laid special emphasis on increasing telemedicine and remote care, so that doctors' advice can be delivered to remote areas. Said that about 1.80 lakh Asha and Anganwadi workers, ANMs and Chief Health Officers are the backbone of the health system.
Said that AI based tools should be such that they do not increase the workload. By using AI in centers like Ayushman Arogya Mandir, we can provide better health services in remote areas.
Experts said that the data should not be used without the consent of the patient. People will adopt new technology only when they trust the system.
Maternal mortality rate can be reduced with the help of AI. In the program, Arvind Kumar, Director General, Software Technology Parks of India, Prof. RK Singh SGPGI, Dr. Sanjay Sood C-DAC, Mohali, Prof. Shriram Ganpati and Colonel Sameer Kanwar and many others participated.
