Part 3/12:
In India, and indeed in many countries, the doctor-to-patient ratio remains worryingly low, approximately 1:830, which is even worse elsewhere. This scarcity leads to prolonged wait times and hurried consultations, often leaving patients with inadequate guidance. Concurrently, the abundance of online health information—ranging from Google searches to YouTube videos—exacerbates confusion and misinformation, posing health risks. Against this backdrop, the speaker advocates for developing an intelligent AI assistant capable of providing trustworthy, personalized medical advice to alleviate patient anxiety, support doctors, and improve healthcare accessibility.
