The Hindu
Apart from physicians at the corporate hospitals group, physicians at government and private hospitals can access the AI-powered tool
An Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered tool to predict risk of cardiovascular disease was launched by Apollo Hospitals on Tuesday. Physicians can use the risk assessment tool to deliver proactive, pre-emptive and preventive care for at-risk individuals, improving lives while mitigating future pressure on healthcare systems.
It delivers CVD risk score using algorithms specifically for the Indian population and helps in developing standardised care regimens. The risk is categorised into three categories: high, moderate and minimal. Besides, it gives insights on the risk contributors that can be modified to improve the score.
Those interested to undergo the assessment can walk into Apollo Hospitals and pay ₹ 200. Apart from physicians at the corporate hospitals group, physicians at government and private hospitals can access the AI-powered tool by sending their details to infoaicvd@apollohospitals.com
