The Responsible AI for Social Empowerment (RAISE 2020) Virtual Summit is a Global Artificial Intelligence summit organized by the Ministry of Electronics & IT, Government of India in partnership with the Industry & Academia. It was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 5th October 2020. The summit is a global meeting of minds to exchange ideas and charter a course to use AI for Social Empowerment, Inclusion, and Transformation in key areas like Healthcare, Agriculture, Education and Smart Mobility amongst other sectors. It witnesses robust participation from global Industry leaders, key opinion makers, Government representatives, and Academia. The RAISE 2020 Summit will feature some of the most exciting start-ups working in Artificial Intelligence and related fields.

NASSCOM CoE along with STPI CoE co-organised an AI showcase in which AI led Innovators in Healthcare, Manufacturing & Smart Mobility were invited. Some of the innovators that showcased include:

  • Radical Health
  • Peer Robotics
  • Veda Labs

In the following article we will explore the innovative AI trends the enterprises has brought into being for building preventive health solutions.

Radical Health: Building AI-enabled solutions for detecting multiple diseases

NASSCOM CoE incubated, Radical Health’s solution automatically reads a retinal fundus image and performs AI based detection of systemic or eye diseases. The algorithm is capable of detecting hundreds of diseases and complications from the retina with 98% accuracy within seconds, noninvasively & cost-effectively, to come up with a comprehensive report having all the risk predictors in a matter of minutes.

Under the National Health Mission, Radical Health initiated their operations in 8 districts of Maharashtra and in 10 months, over 2 lakh patients have been screened for conditions such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiovascular diseases, etc. Diagnostic Reports are instantly generated and sent digitally to the patient and the concerned doctor, for verification and further action. Over 25000+ patients have been referred for further examination and treatment, for conditions that were previously unknown to them, thus potentially saving 1000’s of lives.

In 2020, COVID19 impacted the world as a whole. In a COVID suspect or confirmed patient, comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension are the major drivers of fatalities, and prolonged hospital stays. Radical Health’s solution is being used to do non-invasive, real-time, and actionable screening for co-morbidities by BMC doctors. Radical, in partnership with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), have been screening the patients in all CCC-1/CCC-2 and DCHC facilities in Mumbai. Radical’s staff sets up the imaging, screens the patients, and informs the patients & the doctors about the patient’s diseases. Based on the report, the doctor can take immediate action — in on-ground experience, this has ranged from expedited tests, closer monitoring and prophylactic medication to outright. In the first 3 weeks, Radical has directly contributed to enabling more intensive care for 2792 patients, and ICU referrals for 223 patients. In the case of ICU referrals, the cohort of patients referred by Radical early had a mortality rate of 4%, compared to the base mortality rate in the high twenties for other ICU referrals.

In essence, these technology when employed in a private healthcare setup, boosts the pace and quality at which care is conferred to patients across the nation, making healthcare deliveries secure and reliable.

We have also chronicled the radical innovations unearthed by Peer Robotics & Veda Labs that showcased in MeitY’s RAISE 2020 AI showcase.
