Mr Tirupathi Karthik highlighted some of the design choices for Smart Health,, citing the following key messages:
- AI is a mind-set; infuse AI in everything we do.
- Prevention is better than cure; the healthcare sector should focus on helping citizens maintain health instead of treating diseases. Hence the focus should be on Wellness of the community and enabling such Smart Health Solutions.
- Good tech architectural plan is needed in the beginning.
