Wipro, the Indian IT services major, is set to revolutionize healthcare with its new partnership with the Centre for Brain Research (CBR) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The partnership aims to develop personalized AI-based health innovations by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics.
With a focus on preventing and managing long-term health disorders, Wipro’s research and development team will design and develop an AI-based personal care engine. This engine will consider an individual’s health history, desired health state, and other behavioral responses to provide personalized care support. The goal is to promote healthy aging, positive lifestyle changes, and psycho-social well-being.
One of the main areas of focus for Wipro’s AI-powered innovations is reducing and managing the risk of cardiovascular disease and correlated neurodegenerative disorders. These conditions have a strong association with long-term cognitive issues, making them a global concern. By using AI, Wipro aims to tackle these challenges more effectively and provide broad health and well-being benefits at lower costs.
To test the effectiveness of their AI-based personal care engine, Wipro will collaborate with CBR at IISc to conduct a digital app-based trial. This trial will allow them to gather valuable data and evaluate the impact of their personalized care support on individuals' cognitive and overall health.
Dr. Ajay Chander, Head of Research and Development at Wipro Limited, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating that it will pioneer personalized care support for some of the most chronic health challenges globally. He also emphasized the potential for broad health and well-being benefits by focusing on cardiovascular conditions.
Professor K.V.S. Hari, Director of the Centre for Brain Research, highlighted the significance of the partnership in accelerating the path from research to real-world solutions in cognitive and overall health. With Wipro’s expertise in AI and CBR’s research capabilities, they aim to make a tangible impact in the field of healthcare.
The partnership between Wipro and CBR signifies a major step towards personalized health management. By harnessing the power of AI, machine learning, and big data analytics, Wipro aims to provide targeted care and tackle long-term health disorders more effectively. Through their collaboration, they hope to contribute to healthy aging, positive lifestyle changes, and overall well-being.
