Opportunities and challenges in creating adaptable Artificial Intelligence (AI) models in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs): The Indian scenario

The last decade has been marked by several transformative works based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and/or deep learning models in the healthcare ecosystem. As the world gears to adapt itself to this technology, the low- and middle-income countries face significant challenges in this field. The integration of AI with the health ecosystem could improve patient services, reduce clinician’s load, and enable mass remote screening for noncommunicable diseases. The paradigm shift presents both unique learning and employment opportunities provided that the healthcare personnel are primed for a major skill overhaul, collaborative efforts and challenge-based learning.
