RAIPUR: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Raipur hosted a masterclass on Technology Interventions in Healthcare, in collaboration with the DRISHTI CPS Foundation, an initiative by IIT Indore.
The event focused on how technology and artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated into healthcare services.
A team from the Foundation visited AIIMS Raipur and toured key clinical areas, including the Radiology Department, laboratories, and the Trauma and Emergency Department. This visit gave insight into the current clinical workflows and operational challenges, which will help in developing AI-based tools for hospital settings. A discussion followed on how the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) can be integrated into services at AIIMS Raipur.
The highlight of the visit was the Charak Masterclass – a full-day knowledge-sharing session that brought together faculty, innovators, researchers, and clinicians.
Lieutenant General Ashok Jindal (Retired), Executive Director and CEO of AIIMS Raipur, said the collaboration would benefit students, residents, and faculty. He added that it would also help in setting up a Digital Health Innovation Centre at AIIMS Raipur to develop and scale healthcare innovations.
Professor (Dr) Abhiruchi Galhotra, Dean (Research), said the partnership would encourage faculty and residents to take part in advanced research that combines healthcare and digital technology to improve services.
The masterclass featured talks on emerging topics such as the evolution of healthcare through data and AI, neural networks and AI applications, and using AI and machine learning to reduce ventilator alarm fatigue in critical care.
Experts also gave live demonstrations on 3D modelling from radiology images, digital prescriptions using optical character recognition and voice-to-text tools, clinical decision support systems, and the use of augmented and virtual reality in healthcare.
Faculty from various departments presented their AI-based projects and sought technical and financial support from IIT Indore. Scientists from the DRISHTI Foundation acknowledged these proposals and agreed to take them forward.
The event concluded with the SRIJAN Centre for Innovation and Incubation presenting a roadmap for future collaborations, pilot projects, and technology validation efforts. AIIMS Raipur has also submitted a proposal for a ‘Silicon Hub’ under the Department of Science and Technology, in partnership with the DRISHTI Foundation.
Professor (Dr) Eli Mohapatra, Dean Academics; Dr Krashnadutt Chavali, Dean Student Welfare; Professor (Dr) Ekta Khandelwal, Associate Dean Research; and other faculty members and researchers attended the event.
