VIEW AGENDA

From eHealth to AI Health

Kerala's Era of Intelligent, Trusted, Connected Care Kerala Didn't Wait for India to Catch Up. It Led.

In 2016, Kerala launched eHealth- a state-wide, World Bank-aided, public-first digital health platform. Years before ABDM was conceived. Years before "digital health" became a boardroom phrase.

In 2026, Kerala is running production-grade AI in public hospitals. Stroke detection. Cervical cancer screening. Diabetic retinopathy. Not pilots for press releases but pilots in actual hospitals, helping actual patients.

Five million UHIDs. 23 lakh telemedicine consultations annually. 800+ public institutions on a common platform. A Genome Data Centre coming alive this year. The decade between those two facts is the story this room exists to tell.

Kerala is no longer just digitizing health. Kerala is making health intelligent.

DHN City Meetup Kochi 2026 is the room where people driving Kerala’s intelligent care mission assemble.
