Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Intel's AI tool screens patients for vision loss

In a country such as India that has a low doctor-patient ratio, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enable greater access to expert care from anywhere, with telehealth and robotics applied across inpatient and outpatient environments. Experts says AI will bolster the role of healthcare by assisting in screening, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases thereby improving quality of life and reducing the cost burden for patients. "India has a tremendous opportunity to lead human-centric applications and democratise AI for the world backed by high skilled talent, technology, vast data availability, and the potential for population-scale AI adoption," says Prakash Mallya, vice-president and managing director of Sales, Marketing and Communications Group, Intel India. Intel has been focusing its efforts towards accelerating AI innovation to deliver transformative healthcare solutions and democratise healthcare access and delivery in India. The company's portfolio of compute, memory, storage, and networking technologies powers some of the most exciting healthcare and life sciences applications. The cloud-based AI solution Netra.AI is the latest example of the impact and innovation that can be made possible with Intel technology.
