    In India, where healthcare resources are limited and there are many patients to care for, predictive
                     healthcare can be especially helpful. It helps doctors prioritise care, focusing on patients who
                     need immediate attention. It can also reduce unnecessary hospital visits, as healthcare providers
                     can monitor  patients  remotely  and intervene before a problem  worsens. Overall,  predictive
                     healthcare has the potential to improve health outcomes by catching issues early and promoting
                     better overall care.

                     How AI Helps

                     AI is revolutionising predictive healthcare by analysing vast amounts of data, including medical
                     history,  lifestyle  habits,  real-time  data  from wearable devices  and family  history.  Manually
                     processing this large volume of information is both difficult and time-consuming, which makes AI
                     a powerful tool for spotting health risks at an early stage.

                     AI analyses patient  data  such  as  medical  records,  lifestyle  patterns,  real-time data  from
                     wearables and family history to identify individuals who are at higher risk for diseases like
                     diabetes, heart disease or certain cancers. In India, under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission
                     (ABDM), the health records of millions of citizens are being digitised. This allows AI-powered
                     predictive tools to examine this data and identify high-risk individuals, helping doctors intervene
                     earlier and provide preventive care before conditions worsen.

                     Virtual Health Assistants

                     Have you ever imagined getting healthcare advice without physically visiting a doctor clinic or
                     hospital? With the help of Virtual Health Assistants, this is now becoming possible.

                     In many area of India, especially in rural areas, people do not always have easy access to doctors
                     or healthcare facilities. They may need to travel long distances sometimes for hours just to reach
                     the nearest clinic. Even in cities, getting an appointment with a doctor can take several days. Virtual
                     health assistants help solve this problem by offering advice and guidance to patients remotely.

                                            Personalised Health Support  AI Support   Medication Reminders

                     These digital assistants are powered by artificial intelligence and can answer medical questions,
                     help with basic health checks and provide advice on common health issues. They can also remind
                     patients to take their medications or check their symptoms. This technology allows people to get
                     quick medical support without having to leave their homes, saving time and reducing the strain
                     on healthcare services.
