easily. The intelligent endoscopy module uses AI to identify colorectal polyps during colonoscopies, scanning every visual frame in real-time and alerting physicians to lesions that might be missed by the human eye. The implantable devices, such as the world ' s smallest pacemaker, use sensors to detect irregular cardiac rhythms and adjust performance without human intervention. Overall, the integration of AI, sensing technology, and data analytics helps clinicians deliver personalized care and improve patient outcomes.
What role do collaborations with healthcare providers and government initiatives play in expanding Medtronic’ s reach in India?
No single entity can solve the challenges of healthcare alone, which is why partnerships are critical. Publicprivate partnerships( PPPs) can significantly enhance patient outcomes in India by leveraging the strengths of both sectors to improve healthcare delivery. PPPs enable the integration of advanced technologies and expertise from the private sector into public healthcare systems, leading to timely diagnosis and treatment of patients. Collaborations between public and private entities can help build and upgrade healthcare infrastructure, making advanced care accessible to a larger population. Additionally, PPPs can facilitate training programs for healthcare professionals, ensuring they are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to manage cases effectively. Proactive government initiatives, such as the inclusion of advanced therapies in the PMJAY scheme and the adoption of PMJAY HBP 2.2 at the state level, are significant steps towards bridging the accessibility gap.
