New Delhi, February 13 Rakesh Kalpala, Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Innovation at AIG Hospitals, will present a range of low-cost, AI-driven medical technology solutions at the upcoming India AI Impact Summit 2026.
The session, scheduled for February 20 from 3:30-4:30 pm at Bharat Mandapam, will focus on practical AI applications tailored for the Indian healthcare landscape, he said.
Key areas of discussion will include the use of AI in managing fatty liver disease, monitoring nutrition during pregnancy, and streamlining Electronic Medical Records (EMR/EHR).
Highlighting the critical need for localized medical research, Kalpala emphasised that India cannot rely solely on Western literature for healthcare AI.
"Artificial intelligence in healthcare requires a significant number of randomized controlled trials and data validation. We should have our own validated Indian literature," he said.
The presentation will feature data and developments from a joint initiative conducted over the past couple of months by the Andhra Pradesh government, the AIM Foundation, and AIG Hospitals, Hyderabad.
The India AI Impact Summit will take place in New Delhi from February 16-20, 2026.
