How AI can be optimised for better healthcare

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being integrated into healthcare to improve diagnostic efficiency and clinical workflows. While India faces challenges with specialist distribution, AI tools offer a way to extend expertise and manage rising patient volumes.
