Wipro, Centre For Brain Research Collaborate For AI-Driven Health Behaviour Innovations
Wipro’s research and development team, part of Lab45, will design and develop a personal care engine with the aim to promote healthy aging, positive lifestyle changes and psycho-social wellbeing.
Wipro Ltd in collaboration with the Centre for Brain Research, an autonomous, non-profit research organisation, hosted at the Indian Institute of Science, will focus on leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics to develop new technologies for prevention and management of long-term health disorders.
Wipro’s research and development team, part of Lab45, will design and develop a personal care engine—an AI that will take into account an individual’s health history, desired health state and other behavioural responses—with the aim to promote healthy aging, positive lifestyle changes and psycho-social wellbeing.
The personal care engine will focus on reducing and managing the risk of cardiovascular disease and correlated neurodegenerative disorders by using AI to personalise its interaction with users, optimising for their long-term health and wellbeing.
“Wipro is committed to transforming the landscape of healthcare through technological innovation, and we are delighted to be partnering with the CBR and IISc on this journey. Our personal care engine enables wide-ranging applications and benefits for health management. It has the potential to mitigate lifestyle-related conditions and even enhance cognitive and psychosocial functioning,” said Subha Tatavarti, chief technology officer, Wipro.
Wipro will test the engine through a digital app-based trial in collaboration with CBR at IISc. This trial will generate evidence regarding the engine’s effectiveness for contexts that are relevant for long-term health outcomes.
Wipro’s technological expertise combined with CBR’s brain science research will aim to realise new possibilities for patient care and cognitive and overall health. Both institutions will work to develop systems that deliver better health outcomes at population scale.
“Working with Wipro allows us to amplify our scientific expertise through large-scale digital applications. This partnership will accelerate the path from research to real-world solutions in cognitive and overall health,” said KVS Hari, director, CBR.
