Quotes
Ajoy Kumar Singh
Additional Chief Secretary (Health), Jharkhand
“Digital health records will be created for patients, securely storing their medical history. In the future, these records could be used for AI-based health assistance. The AI will only provide assistance and suggestions regarding potential health issues, but the patient’s prescription will be written by a doctor”
