Artificial Intelligence poised to change healthcare industry

Cardinal Health, the $165-billion global healthcare distributor and manufacturer, opened its global tech hub in Bengaluru in April this year. The launch of Cardinal Health International India (CHII) as a new global capability centre, according to the company, is a step towards providing more innovative healthcare solutions and enabling digital transformation. Cardinal Health has invested $8 million in CHII, which plans to acquire local talent and function as a global hub for digital skills and delivery. The firm currently has around 400 employees and plans to expand to over 600 by the end of this year. CHII will also support enterprise-level digital transformation initiatives across Cardinal Health.
