- AI clinic at GIMS to boost early disease detection
- AI clinic uses genetic screening and advanced diagnostics
India has launched its first government run AI clinic at the Government Institute of Medical Sciences in Greater Noida. The AI clinic marks a major step in bringing advanced technology into the public health system. According to a media report, the initiative aims to improve early detection of diseases, diagnostics, and treatment. Officials believe this can play a key role in improving survival rates and patient outcomes.
The AI clinic will focus on genetic screening supported by artificial intelligence tools. These tools will help in faster detection of serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, and liver disease. The centre will also use AI systems to interpret X rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI reports, and laboratory investigations. As a result, doctors can improve both the accuracy and speed of diagnosis.
Brigadier (Dr) Rakesh Kumar Gupta, Director of GIMS, explained how the system will function. “The clinic will use artificial intelligence along with genetic screening to analyse blood tests, imaging scans, and other clinical data,” he said. He also added that the initiative would open new opportunities for healthcare startups. Therefore, the AI clinic is expected to support both medical innovation and technology driven healthcare growth.
Meanwhile, experts say AI clinics usually work through advanced algorithms and automation. These systems support doctors in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient management. According to the report, AI health centres can function either as standalone units or as part of hospital departments. In both cases, AI systems analyse patient data in real time and support clinical decision making.
Another major benefit of the AI clinic is improved access to quality healthcare. This is especially important for remote and underserved areas, where specialists are often not available. While private hospitals and diagnostic labs already use AI tools, this is the first dedicated AI clinic run by the government. The report also noted that this AI model could be replicated across government hospitals in other states.
AI tools already play a key role in healthcare delivery, particularly in labs, radiology, and cancer screening. In pathology, doctors use AI to analyse tissues and detect diseases that may be missed by the human eye. This reduces processing time and improves precision. AI has also shown strong potential in identifying early signs of breast and lung cancer. Early diagnosis improves treatment outcomes. The technology can also process large genomic datasets to identify disease linked markers and predict patient response to treatment.
