Qure.ai Launches AI-Powered Co-Pilot for Frontline Healthcare in LMICs

The AI-powered co-pilot, called AIRA, is designed to support frontline healthcare workers by automating data collection, improving clinical protocol adherence, and generating population health insights.

Qure.ai has introduced a new artificial intelligence tool to address healthcare delivery challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The AI-powered co-pilot, called AIRA, is designed to support frontline healthcare workers by automating data collection, improving clinical protocol adherence, and generating population health insights.

The launch comes as LMICs continue to grapple with significant systemic issues, including a projected shortage of 11 million health workers by 2030 and 17 million preventable deaths.

According to industry estimates, over 40% of community health workers’ time in these regions is consumed by manual data collection, while national health systems struggle to access reliable, population-level data for planning and policy decisions.

AIRA is built on Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored for LMIC health systems and workflows. It aims to alleviate administrative burdens, enabling healthcare workers to focus more on direct patient care.

Commenting on the development, Prashant Warier, CEO and Founder of Qure.ai, said, “With AI, we can make a seismic shift towards health equity in LMICs. AIRA in the hands of every healthcare worker will free up their time for more patient interactions via automated data collection and better clinical protocol adherence. With AI, we can multiply every dollar spent and realize significantly more impact and returns in LMIC health systems. We have demonstrated this in our last 10 years in TB and are motivated to do the same now for primary healthcare.”

Dr Michel Sidibé, Special Envoy at the African Union, also emphasized the importance of digital innovation in resource-limited settings.

“Health ministries in developing nations need to deliver healthcare to their populations at a fraction of the budget compared to developed countries. We have to be creative to make this happen. Digital health and AI are most certainly catalysts to improve efficiency, access, and quality of care.”

The tool’s developers say it is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing primary healthcare infrastructures, addressing both workforce and data challenges in under-resourced settings.

Founded in 2016, the Mumbai-based company aims to turn profitable in the next financial year. Qure.ai develops artificial intelligence-powered diagnostic tools for early detection of conditions such as tuberculosis, lung cancer, and stroke risks. It counts Fractal Analytics, Peak XV Partners, and Novo Holdings among its investors, and has raised $125 million to date.
