Moreover, modern machines, designed in collaboration with IIT, will deliver detailed health reports in just two hours, offering services such as blood tests, CT scans, MRIs, cancer screenings, and genomics testing.
Indore is taking a bold step in healthcare innovation with the launch of India’s first AI-driven preventive healthcare center.
Developed under the Health of Indore campaign, the facility offers affordable, efficient, and cutting-edge healthcare for all.
Reportedly, the Hastimal Sundarbai Parmarthik Trust has donated 30,000 sq ft of prime land for this project. Moreover, modern machines, designed in collaboration with IIT, will deliver detailed health reports in just two hours, offering services such as blood tests, CT scans, MRIs, cancer screenings, and genomics testing.
“This centre is about accessibility and efficiency. It’s based on insights from health check-ups of four lakh residents, which highlighted major health issues across demographics,” explained Dr Vinita Kothari from the Central Lab.
The center also offers multidisciplinary consultations from specialists in allopathy, Ayurveda, homeopathy, and naturopathy.
Additionally, those diagnosed with illnesses will be monitored monthly to track recovery.
Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda has been invited to the bhoomi pujan by MP Shankar Lalwani, signaling the national importance of this initiative.
In October, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore developed a compact, cost-effective device aimed at the early detection of breast cancer, particularly for women in rural and remote areas.
The device utilizes Photoacoustic Spectral Response (PASR) technology, which combines optical and acoustic signals to detect abnormal changes in tissue, making it highly effective for identifying early-stage breast cancer.
Earlier, IIT Indore developed a patented technology aimed at improving the safety and reliability of electrocardiogram (ECG) devices and cardiac pacemakers.
The innovation, spearheaded by Principal Investigator Prof Anirban Sengupta and PhD student Aditya Anshul, focuses on creating secure chips for ECG devices and pacemakers.
A key feature of the technology is its ability to differentiate between authentic and counterfeit ECG detector chips before they are manufactured or integrated into devices, significantly enhancing reliability and reducing risks of misdiagnosis.
