AI Tools Enhance Disease Detection and Healthcare Access in Remote Indian Areas

Artificial intelligence is being deployed in India's public health sector to aid in disease detection and improve healthcare delivery, particularly in remote areas. Tools like the AI-enabled 'Cough Against TB' app are helping frontline health workers screen for tuberculosis by analyzing cough sounds, leading to a reported 13% increase in diagnoses compared to traditional methods. While still undergoing validation, these AI solutions are being piloted in numerous districts across several states to enhance last-mile access and address gaps in national health programs.
