AI, genomics and future of cardiac innovation in India’s health care economy

Cardiovascular disease remains India’s most formidable health challenge with its escalating prevalence leading to increased morbidity, premature deaths, and high healthcare expenditures. Compared to the West, cardiovascular diseases affect Indians at least a decade earlier and impact them during the most productive midlife period. The challenge we face today is to address this successfully and unlock a healthier, more productive nation.

Technology has provided us with transformative tools. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can spot risk signals that the human eye misses. Genomics can identify who is predisposed to disease and who will respond best to a given therapy.
