Indian Healthcare Providers Move AI Pilots Into Practice

Indian hospitals and healthcare companies are starting to use artificial intelligence for more than experiments.

AI is being used mainly to help with hospital tasks and reduce paperwork for doctors and nurses.

Government programs, investments, startups and greater acceptance by clinicians are helping this happen.

But most hospitals are still testing AI carefully.

Electronic medical records are used in about 35% of India, mostly by large hospitals in cities.

Many small and medium-sized hospitals still use paper records.

Rules about responsibility, data and checking AI systems are still developing.

The report says AI could also help monitor patients remotely and support intensive care.

It says hospitals must redesign their work and build trust before AI can spread widely.
