India’s digital health market has seen a sharp rise in the past decade, and is expected to grow tenfold in the next decade. Now in its second leg of growth with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), industry experts believe that the focus will be on accessibility and making healthcare more curated for the patients.
A panel discussion at the Mint AI Summit 2025 in Bengaluru deliberated on the subject in detail.
Jayanth N. Kolla, founder and partner, Convergence Catalyst, who moderated the discussion, started proceedings by saying that in the space of healthcare, a lot of data is being created and digital technologies have been revolutionizing healthcare. “I think after BFSI, healthcare was the industry which was being digitalized and for the last 10-15 years we've seen a lot of digital technologies being adopted in the healthcare space,” he said.
Abhinav Lal, co-founder and chief technology officer of healthtech platform Practo, said that his company is building some very useful products using AI and then taking them “back to our provider partners [to] help them in their day-to-day work, and more importantly, help them improve outcomes”.
“This time around, there is a lot of focus on patients and not just doctors. How do we make this very patient-centric, how can the experience at hospitals be better, how can the experience of treatment be better?” Dhruv Rastogi, senior VP and head of data science at third party administrator Medi Assist added.
Healthtech has seen a shift from more detection-based focus to predictive with the integration of AI, according to Dr. Gurukiran Babu Tumma, a physician and head of clinical services at Jivi AI, which develops AI products like a health assistant for patients. “Now I can consider multiple parameters–I can take the speech of the patient, the vision of the patient, and I also can take the lab data, and come up with a more predictive kind of analysis,” he said.
