IIT Delhi and AIIMS Delhi have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a Centre of Excellence for AI in Healthcare (AI-CoE). The MoU was signed by Prof. M. Srinivas, Director of AIIMS Delhi, and Prof. Rangan Banerjee, Director of IIT Delhi, during a ceremony at IIT Delhi.
The AI-CoE aims to develop AI-based solutions that support key national health programmes. Last year, the Ministry of Education awarded the two institutes a grant of Rs 330 crore under the ‘Make AI in India, Make AI Work for India’ initiative, following a rigorous and competitive selection process. The proposed Centre of Excellence will serve as the implementation vehicle for this grant.
“This MoU marks the beginning of far-reaching collaborative research that has the potential to change the face of healthcare in the country,” Prof. M. Srinivas, Director, AIIMS Delhi said.
Prof. Rangan Banerjee, Director, IIT Delhi said, “A partnership between AIIMS and IIT Delhi has the potential to transform Artificial Intelligence for affordable healthcare. We are delighted to be shaping this national center of excellence and hope that our output will impact the lives of Indians.”
Dr. Krithika Rangarajan, Chief Project Manager, who will lead the initiative from AIIMS Delhi, said, “As we venture into this exciting new space, we look forward to guiding the marriage of healthcare with technology. We remain focused on keeping patients at the center of this effort and hope to build mechanisms that would benefit every citizen of the country.”
Prof. Chetan Arora, Chief Project Manager, who will lead the AI-CoE from IIT Delhi, said, “We are excited to be part of this AI-CoE. The CoE will serve as a key research and resource center at the national and international level and aims to revolutionise the national public health system using indigenously developed AI systems and solutions. Our aim is to develop cuttingedge AI solutions to upscale health services, upskill our healthcare providers, and improve the accessibility of quality healthcare to remote and marginalised sections of our population.”
