Explaining the power if Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on healthcare, Dr D Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman of AIG Hospitals said that AI will not replace doctors in the future, but doctors who know how to use AI will surely replace doctors who can’t. He was speaking at the ASPIRE Foundation Day event at the School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad.

Dr Reddy highlighted breakthrough initiatives such as “Mira”—an AI-based Medical Information Robot, AI-guided endoscopy, and advanced natural language processing tools that capture critical components of doctor–patient conversations. He shared how his AI team developed a tool that detects fatty liver conditions with 99% accuracy using simple blood tests.

In another significant development during the event, ASPIRE signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HDFC Bank. ASPIRE is one of the 16 incubators across the country to receive HDFC Parivartan Grants- a CSR initiative of HDFC Bank in its 8th edition. Under this initiative, ASPIRE has launched the EcoInnovate Program, a dedicated effort to support startups working in sustainable chemistry, waste valorization, the circular economy, and smart/alternative proteins.

The MoU was signed by Prof S. Rajagopal, Director- ASPIRE and Head Dept. of Plant Sciences representing ASPIRE and G. Pruthvi Raj, Vice president and Cluster Head, representing HDFC Bank. The dynamic event underscored ASPIRE’s commitment to innovation and strategic partnerships, setting a robust foundation for the future of AI-driven healthcare and sustainable technological advancements.
