India’s AI platform iOncology.ai has gained international attention after being featured in The BRICS Health Journal. AIIMS New Delhi and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune, developed the platform with support from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
Supporting Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
The platform uses artificial intelligence to support cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment planning and patient management. It can also help doctors analyse complex cases and make more informed decisions.
According to ETHealthworld, the platform is currently undergoing clinical validation to assess its effectiveness and potential use in healthcare settings.
Improving Access to Cancer Care
The platform could help address gaps in cancer care, particularly in areas where patients have limited access to specialists. By using AI, healthcare professionals may be able to identify risks earlier and provide more personalised treatment.
However, researchers must complete larger clinical studies before doctors can widely use the platform.
A Step Towards Better Healthcare
Overall, iOncology.ai highlights India’s growing use of AI in healthcare. With further testing and validation, the platform could improve cancer diagnosis and treatment while making specialised care more accessible.
