India’s Ayush Innovations Featured in

Posted on 12th July 2025 at 1:01 PM by PIB Delhi Regarding AI and Traditional Medicines

WHO’s Landmark Brief on AI in Traditional Medicine

India first country to launch a Traditional Knowledge Digital Library: WHO

Ayush Sector Fuels Economic Growth: WHO Notes India’s US$43.4 Billion Market

New Delhi: 12th July 2025: (PIB Delhi//Life Line Screen Desk)::


In a significant milestone for global healthcare innovation,
the World Health Organization (WHO) has released a technical brief titled "Mapping the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Traditional Medicine", acknowledging India’s pioneering efforts in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayush systems. The release follows India’s proposal on the subject, leading to the development of WHO’s first-ever roadmap for applying AI in traditional medicine.

India’s efforts to harness the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to advance and amplify the strengths of its Ayush systems reflect the broader vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who seeks to position the country as a global leader in digital health innovation and the integration of traditional medicine. Speaking at the inauguration of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit in 2023, Hon’ble  Prime Minister Modi remarked, “We have developed government policies and programmes inspired by the spirit of ‘AI for all’. Our endeavour is to take full advantage of the capabilities of AI for social development and inclusive growth.”

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ayush and Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare, Shri Prataprao Jadhav, remarked that India’s AI-led initiatives, mentioned in WHO’s technical brief, reflect the deep commitment of Indian scientists to advancing traditional medicine through cutting-edge technology. “This recognition underscores our alignment with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s visionary call to harness emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence to expand the global relevance of Traditional Medicine. By integrating AI with Ayush systems—and through pioneering digital platforms such as the SAHI portal, NAMASTE portal, and the Ayush Research Portal—India is not only safeguarding its centuries-old medical wisdom but also leading the way in shaping a future of personalised, evidence-based, and globally accessible healthcare.”

Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, said, “The WHO document highlights several pioneering AI-driven innovations led by India—ranging from predictive diagnostics using Prakriti-based machine learning models to the groundbreaking Ayurgenomics project that brings together Ayurveda knowledge and modern genomics. At the core of this digital transformation is the Ayush Grid—a comprehensive digital health platform launched in 2018—which serves as the foundation for several citizen-centric initiatives such as the SAHI portal, NAMASTE portal, and the Ayush Research Portal. Together, these AI-enabled platforms are not only preserving and validating India’s traditional knowledge systems of medicine but are also advancing their global integration within evidence-based, digital healthcare frameworks.”

This WHO publication not only validates India's growing influence in the global traditional medicine landscape but also acknowledges several key Indian innovations in the AI and Ayush space.

The document showcases a range of AI-driven applications in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Sowa Rigpa, and Homoeopathy, including diagnosis support systems that integrate traditional methods like pulse reading, tongue examination, and Prakriti assessment with machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks. These efforts are enhancing diagnostic accuracy and enabling personalised preventive care.

One of the standout features in the WHO brief is the mention of Ayurgenomics, a scientific breakthrough that combines genomics with Ayurvedic principles. This initiative aims to identify predictive disease markers and personalise health recommendations using AI-based analysis of Ayurvedic constitution types. The document also highlights efforts to decode the genomic and molecular basis of herbal formulations for repurposing in modern disease conditions—a major leap in integrating traditional wisdom with contemporary science.

India’s initiatives to digitise traditional knowledge, such as the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL), are praised as global models for the preservation and responsible use of indigenous medical heritage. Furthermore, AI-powered tools are being used for cataloguing and semantic analysis of ancient texts, enabling easier access to time-tested therapeutic knowledge.

Another critical aspect recognised by the WHO is the use of AI for drug action pathway identification, comparative studies across systems like Ayurveda, TCM, and Unani, and the development of artificial chemical sensors to assess traditional parameters such as Rasa, Guna, and Virya. These technological interventions are helping validate and modernise traditional formulations.

The document also applauds India’s broader efforts in incorporating digital platforms for online consultations, promoting digital literacy among Ayush practitioners, and building interoperable systems to integrate traditional medicine with mainstream healthcare.

The Ministry of Ayush welcomes this recognition as a testament to India’s leadership in creating a robust scientific ecosystem for traditional medicine. It also reaffirms the country's commitment to fostering global collaboration and responsible innovation, as envisioned under WHO’s broader framework for AI and traditional medicine.

When the pocket is empty, how can we get treatment for illness?

 How can the government become a lifeline for the poor? 


Chandigarh
: 13th September 2024: (K K Singh//The Tours and Travels Desk)::

When the pocket is empty and some illness surrounds us badly, then the question that arises in the mind is that if only a doctor or hospital would come as a lifeline for us. Many times this happens but does the Asian miracle happen with everyone every time in every case? We tried to put such a question in front of the society and the government. How can civil hospitals and other government health institutions in Punjab and other Indian states become a lifeline for the protection of the health of the poor and middle class people? In the efforts to find the answer, some useful things also came to the fore.

One fact was that government health institutions in Punjab and other Indian states, like civil hospitals, can play an important role for the poor and middle class people. Many improvements can be made and new steps can be taken to make this successful.

For this purpose, increasing the access to health services is at the first place. Civil hospitals and other government institutions should be opened in large numbers in both rural and urban areas so that everyone can easily get health services. The number of health institutions is less in comparison to the population and so is the number of doctors. Along with this, many essential medicines are also not available to everyone. They can be bought in the market with the prescription of a doctor from a hospital or dispensary. But only expensive medicines are available.

Steps like mobile health vans should also be taken to increase access to patients so that health services can reach people living in remote areas as well. This is the only way to have effective access to remote villages and towns which will benefit more people.

Improvement of infrastructure in hospitals has also become necessary now. In the modern era, government hospitals will have to be brought at par with big and expensive hospitals. For this purpose, investments should also be made to improve the availability of modern equipment and the quality of medical services. For this investment, capable sponsors have also been found from villages and cities.

To bring government health institutions at par with private sector in the society, priority should be given to cleanliness and management of hospitals so that there are no infections and other problems. This will also create a new trust in these institutions psychologically. People will also be more attracted.

It would be great if free and affordable medical services can also be provided. The government should provide essential medicines, tests and treatment free of cost or at affordable prices in all government hospitals, especially for the poor and middle class people. Poor and middle class people should be linked to health insurance schemes so that they do not have to bear the financial burden. For this purpose, technical complications and nuances should also be reduced if not completely eliminated.

Adequate number of doctors and medical staff must also be met in these health institutions run under the supervision of the government. There should be adequate number of doctors, nurses and other staff in government health institutions. For this, the process of recruitment and training of medical staff should also be improved.

Taking advantage of modern age technologies, modern technology like telemedicine should also be used. Using this, consultation with specialist doctors should be done in remote areas so that it is easy to form a collective opinion of many doctors for the patient.

For this purpose, the health awareness campaigns run from time to time should also be faster and wider. To increase awareness about health and hygiene among the people, the government should also organize health camps and awareness campaigns regularly. Preventive health services, such as vaccination and regular health checkups, should also be emphasized so that diseases can be prevented.

Along with this, digitization of hospitals should also be done on an initiative basis. Health services should be made available digitally, such as online appointment booking, maintenance of medical records, and tele-consultation facilities should also be available. This will bring transparency in health services and people will get services smoothly.

In this era, the greatest need is to respect all health and medical paths. Inclusion of local and traditional health services will bring good results. Ayurveda, yoga and other traditional systems of medicine should be included in government hospitals so that people can also benefit from alternative treatments.

Along with all these reforms, the government should increase the budget allocation for health and there is a need to constantly monitor the quality of health services. This can make civil hospitals and other government health institutions a powerful lifeline for the poor and middle class people.

Lifesaving Measures and Sudden Efforts during these type of incidents the USA Army's Commitment to Veterans and Seniors are very well known.

In the vast landscape of the United States Army, valor isn't just measured on the battlefield but extends into the hearts of those who've served, even long after they've hung up their uniforms. As the sun sets on their active duty days, a new chapter begins—one where the Army's commitment to lifesaving measures and sudden efforts for veterans and seniors shines brightly.

The duty to protect doesn't fade with time; it evolves, taking shape in programs and initiatives designed to safeguard those who've dedicated their lives to serving their country. For veterans and seniors, the challenges they face may differ from those on the battlefield, but the resolve to stand by them remains unwavering.

One of the most critical aspects of the Army's commitment is healthcare. Through a network of facilities and specialized programs, veterans and seniors receive top-tier medical attention tailored to their unique needs. Whether it's routine check-ups, specialized treatments, or emergency care, the Army ensures that those who've served can access the best care available.

Beyond physical health, mental well-being is also a top priority. The Army recognizes the toll that military service can take on the mind and soul, which is why comprehensive mental health services are readily available. From counseling to support groups, veterans and seniors are provided with the tools and resources needed to navigate the complexities of post-service life.

But the Army's commitment doesn't stop there. In times of sudden crisis or need, rapid response efforts are mobilized to ensure that veterans and seniors are taken care of. Whether it's natural disasters, financial hardships, or unforeseen challenge
s, the Army stands ready to lend a helping hand.

In recent years, advancements in technology have further enhanced the Army's ability to reach and assist veterans and seniors. Telemedicine services allow individuals to connect with healthcare providers from the comfort of their own homes, breaking down barriers to access and ensuring continuous care, regardless of location.

Moreover, the Army's dedication extends beyond physical and mental health support. Through educational programs, job placement services, and housing assistance initiatives, veterans and seniors are empowered to thrive in their civilian lives, leveraging their skills and experiences to build brighter futures.

At the heart of it all lies a deep-seated sense of gratitude and respect for those who've sacrificed so much in service of their country. The Army's commitment to lifesaving measures and sudden efforts for veterans and seniors is not just a duty—it's a solemn promise to honor their service and ensure that they receive the care and support they deserve.

In the tapestry of American history, the contributions of veterans and seniors are woven with threads of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication. Through lifesaving measures and sudden efforts, the USA Army continues to stand as a beacon of hope and support, guiding these heroes through every chapter of their lives.
