New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Wipro GE Healthcare Pvt Ltd to establish an AI Health Innovations Hub aimed at advancing healthcare delivery and outcomes.
The hub will focus on creating innovative products and solutions that improve diagnosis, treatment protocols, and real-time patient data tracking. Wipro GE Healthcare, as the technology partner, will invest around $1 million over the next five years to co-develop, test, and deploy intelligent systems and workflow solutions in cardiology, oncology, and neurology. AIIMS will contribute by providing clinical expertise, multi-modal inputs, and acting as a real-world clinical environment for testing, evaluation, and deployment of AI-powered healthcare solutions.
