By definition, a smart city is an urban area that relies heavily on data to monitor and manage resources efficiently. The concept of smart cities assimilates information and communication technology (ICT) and internet of things (IoT) to ensure the efficacy of city operations. Smart city as a concept is gaining popularity because it promises to harness the potency of the available infrastructure and create new-age living practices to help its residents lead a better, happier life. Health is an indispensable part of smart living, and unless we improve the level of health conditions the dream of smart cities would remain incomplete. A smart city should not only aim to provide smart healthcare solutions for its citizens but foster an ecosystem that curtails the growth of disease and nurtures a healthier way of life for its citizens.

According to Medcrave, in a smart city, an AI Platform tracks citizen's habits, activities, and behavioral characteristics. Data and products can be personalised to meet and anticipate each user's unique and changing needs. Each citizen will have one's own digital personal assistant. Artificial intelligence can help governments handle their regulations monitoring by creating a natural language processing system to read through the legalities of regulations and reassemble the words into a set of computer-understandable rules. As per Digit, in the recent times, IBM Watson has been partnering with Indian Government to bring Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the daily lives of its people.
