AI could help solve the world's health care problems at scale

In a world with limited doctors, emerging diseases and superbugs, and sharply rising costs, how can we successfully tackle health care problems at scale? This is just one of the critical challenges India's explosive startup community hopes to solve by implementing AI to serve the needs of the country's 1,324 billion citizens. The result of this effort will have huge implications for the U.S. and other health care ecosystems around the globe. To understand how dire the situation is, it's worth considering India's health paradox. The country's deep demographic dividend -- which occurs when the majority of a country's population consists of working-age individuals -- is driving rapid and unprecedented growth, but it is also a ticking time bomb.
