India Launches First Government-Run AI Clinic at GIMS, Greater Noida

The clinic aims to use artificial intelligence and genetic screening to support early detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning for serious diseases, including cancer and cardiac, kidney, and liver conditions.

The Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS), Greater Noida, has inaugurated India’s first government-run artificial intelligence (AI) clinic, marking a significant development in the adoption of AI-driven tools within the public healthcare system. 

The clinic aims to use artificial intelligence and genetic screening to support early detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning for serious diseases, including cancer and cardiac, kidney, and liver conditions.

According to information reported by The Times of India, the AI clinic will analyse diagnostic inputs such as blood tests, imaging scans, and genetic data to help clinicians assess disease risk, progression, and recovery. The initiative positions GIMS as the first government medical institution in the country to operationalise AI-based clinical decision support in routine patient care.

Brigadier (Dr.) Rakesh Kumar Gupta, Director of GIMS, said the clinic will integrate AI with genetic screening to process a wide range of clinical data. “The clinic will use artificial intelligence along with genetic screening to analyse diagnostic inputs, including blood tests, imaging scans and other clinical data,” he said. AI tools at the facility will examine X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI reports, and laboratory investigations to assist doctors in clinical assessments.

The clinic is designed to function within the hospital system, supporting clinicians rather than replacing conventional diagnostic workflows. Officials said AI-based analysis could help flag abnormalities earlier, prioritise critical cases, and reduce turnaround time for diagnostic reports. The system is expected to generate preliminary assessments that clinicians can review alongside traditional evaluations.

GIMS officials also noted that the AI clinic could create opportunities for healthcare startups working in diagnostics, imaging, genomics, and data analytics. Dr. Gupta described the initiative as a response to the growing need for scalable technology solutions in healthcare delivery, particularly in managing increasing patient loads.

AI clinics typically rely on algorithms trained to analyse medical images, pathology slides, and patient records. In pathology, AI-supported digital tools can identify disease patterns and inconsistencies that may require closer examination. In oncology, AI systems are used to detect early signs of cancer from imaging data and assist in risk stratification.

The clinic will also explore AI applications in treatment personalisation, using patient history, lifestyle data, and genetic information to support clinical decision-making. In addition, AI-enabled remote monitoring tools may be used to track vital signs and alert clinicians to potential complications.

The launch comes as India continues to explore the role of artificial intelligence in strengthening public healthcare infrastructure, particularly for early diagnosis and resource optimisation.
