Wipro partners with Centre for Brain Research to pioneer AI in healthcare
Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a prominent technology services and consulting firm, today unveiled a strategic collaboration with the Centre for Brain Research (CBR) at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This partnership is set to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics in advancing healthcare, particularly in the prevention and management of chronic health disorders.
Advanced AI in Healthcare
Under this collaboration, Wipro’s research and development team from Lab45 is tasked with creating a personal care engine. This AI-driven technology will consider individual health histories, desired health states, and behavioral responses to foster healthy aging and enhance psycho-social well-being. It particularly targets the reduction and management of cardiovascular disease and related neurodegenerative disorders by tailoring interactions based on user-specific data.
Testing and Implementation
The efficacy of this personal care engine will be assessed through an app-based trial conducted jointly with CBR at IISc. This trial aims to gather significant data to validate the engine’s impact on long-term health outcomes.
Comments from the Leaders
Subha Tatavarti, Chief Technology Officer at Wipro Limited, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative: “Wipro is committed to transforming the landscape of healthcare through technological innovation. We are delighted to partner with the CBR and IISc on this journey. Our personal care engine enables wide-ranging applications and benefits for health management, with the potential to mitigate lifestyle-related conditions and enhance cognitive and psychosocial functioning.”
Dr. Ajay Chander, Head of Research and Development at Wipro Limited, highlighted the significance of this collaboration: “Our partnership with CBR will pioneer solutions at the intersection of computing and cognitive sciences, bringing scalable personalized care support for some of the most chronic health challenges globally.”
Professor K.V.S. Hari, Director of the Centre for Brain Research, also emphasized the strategic benefits: “Working with Wipro allows us to amplify our scientific expertise through large-scale digital applications. This partnership will accelerate the path from research to real-world solutions in cognitive and overall health.”
The collaboration between Wipro Limited and CBR represents a crucial step towards integrating advanced computational technologies with brain science research. It has the potential to revolutionize how health disorders are predicted, prevented, and managed, marking a significant advancement in personalized healthcare solutions.
