IISc Launches AI Tools for Oral and Breast Cancer Screening Across Rural India

Indian Institute of Science researchers have developed artificial intelligence-powered diagnostic tools designed to detect oral and breast cancers in resource-constrained settings, addressing a critical gap in India's healthcare system where radiologist availability is severely limited. Prof. Phaneendra K Yalavarthy, Chief Project Manager of TANUH (Translational AI for Networked Universal Healthcare)—an AI Centre of Excellence in Healthcare hosted at the Indian Institute of Science—leads the initiative to build and deploy AI-driven diagnostics for early detection of non-communicable diseases.
