The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Wipro GE Healthcare to establish an AI Health Innovations Hub.

The new hub will focus on the development of products and solutions that enhance healthcare delivery and outcomes through more precise diagnosis, innovative treatment protocols, and real-time patient data tracking.

As the technology partner, Wipro GE Healthcare will invest around $1 million over the next five years to co-develop, test and deploy intelligent systems and workflow solutions in cardiology, oncology and neurology.

As clinical partner for the hub, AIIMS will provide multi-modal clinical inputs for evaluation, feedback, and deployment of GE HealthCare’s AI-enabled solutions.

A joint working committee from both organisations will oversee the collaboration, which will include clinical research and academic engagement.

Transformative leap

According to The National AI Portal of India (INDIAai), AI technology promises a transformative leap for India’s healthcare system by 2025, potentially boosting the GDP by $25-30 million.
