IIT Indore Develops New AI-powered Human Replica for Disease Detection

The platform is designed to simulate health conditions in a virtual environment, which is expected to enable researchers to study disease behaviour without direct physical intervention.

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Indore, has introduced a new AI-powered Human replica tool designed to simulate physiological functions and support the detection of disease and biomedical research.

The AI-powered system functions as a digital twin of the human body, capable of replicating basic physiological activities such as breathing and blinking.

The platform is designed to simulate health conditions in a virtual environment, which is expected to enable researchers to study disease behavior without direct physical intervention.

Further, the system leverages data-driven models to analyze organ-level functions and identify patterns that may indicate the presence or progression of disease.

The new AI tool was developed by the Drishti CPS innovation hub at IIT Indore, with support from the Department of Science and Technology under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems.

The project forms part of the Charak DT (Digital Twin) platform and aims to bridge technology and healthcare through advanced modelling.

According to the research team, the AI-based replica is intended to complement existing diagnostic and clinical decision-making processes.

By enabling simulations of disease progression and potential treatment outcomes, the system could assist in preventive screening and healthcare planning.

Further, the validation of the AI-powered replica is being carried out with support from three All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) institution AIIMS Raipur, AIIMS Delhi, and AIIMS Bhopal.

These collaborations are intended to assess the system’s clinical relevance and reliability across diverse healthcare settings.
