HYDERABAD: A Leap Towards AI-Driven Healthcare

IPO-bound Fractal Analytics has taken a significant step by submitting a proposal to the IndiaAI Mission. The proposal outlines the development of indigenous medical foundation models, with an estimated project cost of around Rs 150 crore. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare accessibility, medical education, and clinical decision support across India.

Breaking New Ground with Vaidya AI

Fractal Analytics, under the leadership of co-founder Srikanth Velamakanni, has introduced Vaidya AI, India's first multimodal medical assistant. This innovative tool has outperformed global models like GPT-4o, Gemini, and Llama 3.2 on the PG NEET benchmark, showcasing its potential to transform the medical landscape.

Addressing Healthcare Disparities

The initiative comes at a critical time when India's healthcare system faces significant challenges, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. With a doctor-to-patient ratio exceeding 1:1,500, far beyond the WHO's recommendation, Fractal's AI models promise to bridge this gap by supporting doctors and patients alike in diagnosis and health-related queries.

The Road Ahead

Fractal's tech roadmap is divided into two phases, focusing on foundational language models and meta-cognitive abilities. With a comprehensive dataset, including PG NEET and MBBS examination materials, Vaidya AI is set to revolutionize medical reasoning and education in India.
