From identifying high-risk life-threatening events to speeding up recovery, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way healthcare is delivered across the world. It has also been playing a crucial role in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

Artificial intelligence is instrumental in providing accurate patient diagnosis and care with the enormous availability of data.

India too is exploring various ways to harness AI to tackle healthcare challenges, especially the coronavirus crisis. Nivruti Rai, country head, Intel India, and vice president data platforms group, Intel Corporation, spoke to Mint about AI research, its solutions to deal with the pandemics like covid-19, the potential of healthcare data, and Intel’s role in the covid-19 pandemic.

The deployment of AI in the healthcare sector will lead to increased efficiency, faster delivery, and accurate diagnosis thereby reducing the cost of healthcare considerably.
