AI for decision-making picking up among Bengaluru doctors

The use of artificial intelligence to make healthcare decisions is gradually picking up in Bengaluru.

Fortis Hospitals, for example, is developing its own AI software that suggests treatments based on records of previous patients.

“When a doctor enters a patient’s prescription, our system can plot a chart showing changes in his health status over time, and also give a risk overview depending on his symptoms, comorbidities, age etc,” says Akshay Oleti, Business Head at Fortis Hospitals.
