How AI is improving health care access | Dr Sunita Maheshwari and Dr Arjun Kalyanpur | TEDxJIPMER

Have you ever thought about how many radiologists are there per patient? Are the numbers sufficient? What about countries like India where there is a deficiency of even general practitioners? The challenge: to bridge the gap between supply and demand in the health care system. Listen to doctors-turned-entrepreneurs, Dr Arjun Kalyanpur and Dr Sunita Maheshwari, speaking about how telemedicine and artificial intelligence can bring quality diagnostics to even the most resource poor areas.

Dr Arjun Kalyanpur and Dr Sunita Maheshwari co-founded Teleradiology Solutions (which reports scans for over 100 health facilities in Asia, USA, Africa and Europe), Telrad Tech (which builds AI enabled tele-health software), RXDX clinics (multi-specialty neighbourhood clinics in Bangalore), an online portal for radiologists, in addition to running two trust funds – People4People and Telerad Foundation.
