AI to Cut Costs, Boost Efficiency in Healthcare: AIG Chief

Hyderabad, March 12 — Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize the healthcare industry by enhancing efficiency, cutting costs, and significantly improving patient care, according to Dr. D. Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman of AIG Hospitals.

Speaking at the 12th Dr. Manohar V.N. Shirodkar Memorial Lecture on ‘Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare’ at the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) on Wednesday, Dr. Reddy introduced Mira, AIG Hospital’s AI-powered Medical Information Robot. He highlighted that patients prefer interacting with Mira as it provides faster responses to their queries compared to human doctors.

“AI will transform agriculture, education, and healthcare. It is already reducing drug discovery timelines from 20 years to just two years, and vaccines can now be developed within a month,” Dr. Reddy noted.

AI is also playing a crucial role in detecting cancerous lesions and predicting drug responses, making it indispensable in modern medicine. The technology is expected to make inroads into other areas of medical science, such as AI-enabled ECG machines that can diagnose liver and heart diseases with greater accuracy.

Dr. Reddy emphasized the importance of ethical AI implementation and patient data protection, referencing the AIIMS Delhi data breach incident from two years ago. “As AI continues to advance, we must prioritize ethical considerations and safeguard patient data to prevent breaches. The adoption of AI will bring tremendous benefits but may also lead to job displacement in some sectors,” he cautioned.

During the event, Dr. Reddy was felicitated by Dr. Ch. Mohan Rao, President of the Telangana Academy of Sciences (TAS), alongside TAS Vice-President Prof. Ch. Sanjeeva Reddy, General Secretary Prof. S. Satyanarayana, and other dignitaries

Madan Mohan Rao, MLA from Nizamabad, emphasized Hyderabad’s growing prominence in AI and deep-tech sectors, predicting a strong economic future for the city. “GCCs like this are setting the stage for Hyderabad to surpass other major tech cities.
