IIT-K signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Government of Uttar Pradesh to collaborate in the R&D efforts of UP Digital Health Stack (UP-DHS) under National Health Stack (NHS) program of The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).

IIT-K is taking on the responsibility of creating, validating and maintaining a number of vital digital health services for the state of UP. In the coming year, IIT-K will be working on the following problem statements, which will eventually be converted into actual services by CDIS:

  • Creating a benchmarking platform that uses federated learning and other privacy-preserving techniques to enable near zero-knowledge validation of proprietary and open models on proprietary and open datasets to create public benchmarks for various AI-based use cases in medicine

  • Developing a health information exchange (HIE), wherein model builders can bid for health records that satisfy certain diagnostic properties (defined in meta-data), and patients can sell access to their electronic health data for specific purposes, without giving up control of the data and without any copies of the data being made

  • Disease prevalence estimation and prediction using data from UP State’s disease surveillance portal

  • Automated identification of alignment of prescribed treatments with standard treatment guidelines (STG)
