She emphasized the contributions of AI & Big Data in Healthcare, and how it is leveraging India’s vast patient pool for real-time diagnostics and predictive care to improve health outcomes. Her discussion also included a focus on the shift to prevention – to move beyond treatment to early intervention for chronic diseases and mental health. Her take on how digital health, UPI-driven payments, and telemedicine ensure quality healthcare reaches even the most remote regions, and why global investors are looking at India as the next big health-tech and wellness hub was incredible. She also said that the future of healthcare is not about building more hospitals but, it’s about preventing people from needing them in first place.
