Getting through in the age of automation and Artificial Intelligence - The Economic Times

NASSCOM's flagship event India Leadership Forum in Mumbai in February this year brought together global leaders on the theme, 'Re-imagine, not re-engineer'. This clearly suggested that the future lies in our ability to innovate and automate. During the event I interacted with award winners of the NASSCOM Digital India contest and came across innovations addressing the biggest challenges the country faces in healthcare and education. A team from Phillips demonstrated a low cost device which could transmit ECGs from rural locations to specialised health care hospitals for expert review. In pilots conducted with KMC Manipal, 380 ECGs were read, and cardiologists found 86 ECGs (22.6%) with abnormal findings.
