Hundreds of health-tech firms in India are leveraging AI and other advanced technologies to address chronic and structural gaps in the country's healthcare delivery system. India faces a significant shortage of medical professionals, with only 7.3 physicians per 10,000 people compared to a global average of 17.2, according to the World Health Organization. Startups are innovating with AI-driven solutions such as remote ICUs and AI beds to improve healthcare access and quality. Since 2022, Indian health tech-related startups have raised $3.7 billion, which is about half of the $7.4 billion raised in the sector across the Asia Pacific region, according to Tracxn. Additionally, new AI-driven nanotechnology is being developed to treat artery blockages without surgery, potentially reducing the mortality rate from heart diseases, which currently claim close to 18 million lives annually.
