Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology Dr Jitendra Singh has launched state-of-the-art, Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported Telemedicine Mobile Clinic "Aarogya-Doctors on Wheels" for remote hilly areas of Ramnagar region in Udhampur district of J&K.

"The latest upgraded Tele Clinic is AI-driven to provide healthcare facilities in far flung areas of the region, where such facilities are either not available or  inadequately available", he said. 

"Aarogya" functions on the latest methodology wherein a patient can narrate his illness or complaint in his native language and the AI doctor understands the language and responds to the patient in the same language.

Afterwards the patient is connected to one of the leading super specialists in the country. Later, the patient's entire body profile and investigations are done. Within about 40 to 50 minutes, a patient is provided with the prescription, with the treatment being free-of-cost.
