- System enables early risk detection and faster medical decisions.
India's public healthcare is undergoing a significant transformation with the introduction of the world's first AI-based, contactless remote patient monitoring system at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). This innovative technology has been installed in a step-down ICU ward within the newly established medical college complex.
The initiative, inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Assam, Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma, positions Assam as a national leader in AI-enabled clinical care. The deployment marks Assam as the first Indian state to operationalize an AI-driven hospital model within its public healthcare system.
This AI system continuously monitors vital patient parameters without physical contact. It facilitates early risk detection, provides real-time clinical insights, and supports quicker, more accurate medical decision-making. The technology enhances patient safety and infection control, particularly in high-dependency care settings.
Dr. Sachidanand Upadhyay, Managing Director & CEO of Lord's Mark Industries Ltd, highlighted the shift towards predictive, AI-led healthcare delivery. This collaboration with the Assam government aims to integrate technology as core clinical infrastructure, setting a national benchmark for scalable, future-ready public healthcare.
