The AI-driven tools developed by IIIT-Delhi, CHRI-PATH, Tata 1mg, and ICMR focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance. These tools utilize routine hospital data such as blood, sputum, and urine cultures to provide real-time insights into AMR trends at the global, national, and hospital levels. By tracking resistance patterns and antibiotic usage, these tools offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional genomic approaches, helping in better decision-making and antimicrobial stewardship in clinical settings. The innovations also include visual scorecards for timely interventions in hospitals.
