With tools like the AI CVD, AI-enabled Apollo ProHealth platform, the Apollo Clinical Intelligence Engine (Apollo CIE), AI-integrated radiology and diagnostics workflow, and the AI-powered smart in-patient room automation system, we are using AI across the healthcare spectrum including prediction, prevention, diagnosis and personalized management. This remarkable fusion of technology and human touch is helping us deliver our promise of 'touching lives’," he stated.

"As we step into the next quarter, our focus remains steadfast – to augment our doctors’ expertise and revolutionize the overall patient experience as we continue steering Apollo towards a future where healthcare is proactive, personalized, and accessible to all," Reddy further stated.
