Minister for Health and Family Welfare Dinesh Gundu Rao stressed upon the need for effectively utilising Artificial Intelligence and other advanced technologies for providing medical advice and consultation.
Inaugurating the Tele ICU Hub facility at Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) and Hospital in Hubballi on Saturday, Mr. Rao said that through the Tele ICU Hub, it was possible to provide expert medical advice to patients admitted at hospitals in villages and taluks. It would automatically reduce the number of patients getting admitted to district hospitals.
The Health Minister said that ten spoke hospitals were connected to the KIMS Tele ICU Hub, through which doctors would be able to speak directly to the patients and give them necessary treatment.
