Under the Bharat Startup Grand Challenge, Startup India and DPIIT, in collaboration with Rungta University and RuBI, have launched the AI for Healthy India Challenge
India’s healthcare system produces vast amounts of data, yet much of it remains fragmented, unstructured, and difficult to use. At the same time, access to timely diagnostics, specialist care, and efficient delivery continues to vary sharply across regions, affecting outcomes across diagnostics, mental health, and patient engagement. Addressing these structural gaps has become increasingly urgent, and artificial intelligence is now being positioned as part of the response.
