Wipro Collaborates with the Centre for Brain Research at IISc to Pioneer AI-Driven Health Behavior Innovations

Wipro Limited, a leading technology services and consulting company, has embarked on an exciting journey of collaboration with the Centre for Brain Research (CBR) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This groundbreaking partnership aims to harness the immense potential of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics to revolutionize health behavior innovations. Let’s delve into the details of this transformative initiative.

The Power of Synergy

• Date: May 28, 2024

• Partners: Wipro Limited and the Centre for Brain Research (CBR)
• Objective: Develop cutting-edge technologies for precision health and well-being at a population scale.

The Personal Care Engine

Wipro’s research and development (R&D) team, part of Lab45, is at the forefront of innovation. They are designing and developing a personal care engine – an AI-driven system that takes into account an individual’s:

• Health History: Understanding an individual’s health journey is crucial for personalized care.

• Desired Health State: The health goals. The engine tailors recommendations accordingly.
• Behavioral Responses: Recognizing how an individual interacts with health-related information.

Key Focus Areas

• Healthy Aging: The personal care engine aims to promote healthy aging by providing personalized recommendations. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions or optimizing overall well-being, this AI-powered system adapts to individual needs.

• Positive Lifestyle Changes: We all know that lifestyle plays a pivotal role in health outcomes. The engine encourages positive modifications – from nutrition choices to exercise routines.
• Psycho-Social Wellbeing: Mental health matters. The engine addresses psychosocial aspects, recognizing the impact of emotional well-being on overall health.

Targeted Health Conditions

The personal care engine zeroes in on two critical areas:

• Cardiovascular Disease: A global health challenge, cardiovascular conditions often have cognitive implications. By personalizing interactions, the engine aims to reduce risks associated with heart health.

• Correlated Neurodegenerative Disorders: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and related conditions impact millions worldwide. The engine optimizes long-term health and well-being, considering both physical and cognitive aspects.

The Digital Trial

Wipro will rigorously test the personal care engine through a digital app-based trial. Collaborating with CBR at IISc, this trial will generate valuable evidence regarding the engine’s effectiveness. It’s not just about short-term outcomes; we’re looking at contexts deeply relevant for long-term health.

The Vision

The collaboration between Wipro and CBR is more than a partnership; it’s a convergence of expertise. Here’s what our leaders have to say:

• Subha Tatavarti, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Limited: “Our personal care engine has wide-ranging applications. It can mitigate lifestyle-related conditions and enhance cognitive and psychosocial functioning.”
• Dr. Ajay Chander, Head of Research and Development, Wipro Limited: “Cardiovascular health is a focus because it’s intertwined with cognitive well-being. We’re committed to broad health benefits at lower costs.”
• Professor K.V.S. Hari, Director, Centre for Brain Research: “Working with Wipro amplifies our scientific expertise through digital applications. Together, we unlock new possibilities for patient care and overall health.”

Conclusion

As we embark on this transformative journey, we envision a future where AI-driven innovations empower individuals to take charge of their health. Wipro’s technological prowess combined with CBR’s brain science research promises better health outcomes for all. Create a healthier, happier world together.
