Apollo Cancer Centre has introduced the first AI-Precision Oncology Centre (POC) in Bengaluru, India, pioneering a significant advancement in oncology care. Utilizing AI, the center delivers personalized and timely results for oncologists, patients, and caregivers, offering a range of services from accurate diagnosis to real-time insights, cancer risk assessment, treatment protocols, and ongoing care.
The patient-centric focus extends to identifying individuals eligible for targeted therapy and immunotherapy, with the added use of conversational AI to educate patients and families about diagnosis, treatment FAQs, and connections to support groups.
Dinesh Gundu Rao, State Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Karnataka, expressed his honor at the inauguration, highlighting the groundbreaking convergence of innovation and healthcare. The center supports new patient identification through auto-alerts, contributing to care pathway compliance, clinical management, and patient benefit programs.
Notably, Apollo had previously collaborated with Microsoft to create an AI-powered cardiac prognosis model tailored to South Asian data, addressing the limitations of traditional models based on European or US data. In 2019, the National Clinical Coordination Committee, powered by AI risk API, was introduced to combat cardiovascular diseases.
Apollo Cancer Centre continues its technological initiatives, including partnerships with startups for virtual reality solutions and the incorporation of smart automation for patient monitoring. This holistic approach signifies a commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced patient care and medical advancements.
