@DrDatta_AIIMS Unfortunately I can’t align myself with this idea of yours doctor so. can the data be anonymous & open source. Essentially free data for anybody to train their models on. And may the better model win ?! or it could just be a continuous chase to be the greatest. what am I missing?

🚨I don’t comment on every tech launch, but after eight years in healthcare AI, I have to ask: is India handing over its healthcare sovereignty to foreign platforms? 🇮🇳
I must share some raw thoughts about the launch of ChatGPT Health (for patients) and OpenAI for Healthcare (for doctors) this week, because the implications are enormous, and we as Indians need to pay attention (which we aren’t!)
In the last 24 hours, OpenAI has initiated a direct play to become the “operating system” for global healthcare data. This is not just about replacing human doctors but about becoming the default interface where your health data, wearables, lab reports, clinical notes, fitness logs (and literally everything related to you) gets stored, organized, interpreted and ultimately monetized!
🚀 Healthcare is now one of the world’s biggest data economies. In India, this market is exploding, well over 500 billion dollars, with digital health leading the way.
In India have more than a billion people (and potential customers). The diversity of cases we see in hospitals is unmatched! TB, rheumatic heart disease, tropical infections, cancers all of them present differently in Indian populations. A treasure trove of clinical information that does not exist anywhere else in the world!
And for decades, most of this data has been siloed and stuck in different places. Fitness apps stored your steps and activity. Hospitals locked up imaging in their PACS. Half our X-rays and ultrasounds are still physical films or printouts lol
AI has changed everything in the last few years.
Today, models can read scans, parse clinical notes, integrate vitals, understand behavior, and connect it all. We have patient health record apps which store all our information, so it’s easier for us to connect them to AI apps through APIs and MCP servers.
The truth is: Whoever controls the layer that stitches this together will control diagnostics, healthcare policy, and population health at scale. I have absolutely no doubt about that!
That is what OpenAI is building. Connect your records. Connect your wearables. Let the platform learn how your body, your disease, your life works. It starts free. Later, you pay for the smarter version.
We have seen this movie before. Google Drive. iCloud. Google Photos. Once your data and your habits live inside a system, how do you ever leave? Right?
But healthcare is not just your email or photos. There is sovereign angle to it. If India’s imaging, clinical records, and behavioral data flow only into foreign platforms, (and yes, many Indian startups have already been forced to share data just to survive), we are reduced to data suppliers, not data owners, and definitely not builders.
If this continues it will be disastrous!!! Our diagnostic standards. Our clinical pathways. Our public health priorities. All of it may eventually be shaped by decisions made outside this country!
I see something every day in practice. Indian TB. Rheumatic heart disease. Infections and patterns Western models still struggle to understand. If we allow foreign entities to own the “brain” trained on this data, we will end up paying for insights generated from our own people.
I have worked, often pro bono, with some of the most brilliant health-tech founders in this country. They are hardworking, creative, deeply committed. But most are just fighting for survival. No one has the runway to build national infrastructure!
An Indian “ChatGPT for Health” cannot be another under-funded startup. We need patient capital. Serious policy support. Digitization of decades of legacy records. Multimodal datasets that connect hospitals, labs, public systems, wearables, and wellness platforms. Long-term governance that balances privacy, equity, and innovation.
And I am not being anti-global. This is not anti-free market. And honestly, anyone who reduces this to that is missing the point!
We absolutely need global collaboration. But the core intelligence built on Indian health data MUST be governed in India.
Because The stakes are massive.
Whoever controls health data and health AI will set the rules for medical care, public policy, and healthcare innovation for the next decade.
If we build our own now, we control our future.
If we wait, we will be locked out and locked in.
The clock is ticking.
So my question is: Are we going to do something about it, or are we going to remain passive users while a few companies in Silicon Valley decide how healthcare for 1.4 billion Indians should work?

Happy to share that our Multi Institution Collaboration with JIPMER, KMC Manipal and IIT Jodhpur to build one of the first predictive models for latent cardiovascular disease has been selected for the Advanced Research Grant from @ANRFIndia. 🎉
This is one of the first grants I have received and it allows us to recruit and train the next generation of Healthcare AI scientists in cutting edge AI. 🙏
Grateful! Time to double down on making Indians live longer! 🇮🇳
We will be recruiting multiple JRF, SRF and Project Assistants for this across all sites! Stay tuned! 💯

Very true. Infact I always recommend multiple readings as much as possible over a few days to my parents. If they could bear with 24h ambulatory BP , that’s fantastic !

As a cardiologist, in my experience... In office blood pressures are as close to useless as makes no difference. Usually, it's just pure theatre. Get a home monitor. Learn how to use it. Average those numbers. Now we are talking!

I went downstairs for a coffee at my apartment in Abu Dhabi and there are 200 people downstairs who have been waiting here for over five hours to buy apartments
Never in my life have I seen IRL real estate demand like this
I looked into it and as an American you need a 40% down payment for homes here
So if you buy a one-bedroom apartment that costs $250,000, you have to give $120,000 to get the remainder on a loan
To get that loan you need to keep $10,000 in your bank for three months which isn't too hard to do
It's actually like a crypto bro's dream to be able to get a loan like that because in America to get a loan as someone who has stupid crypto income is basically impossible
Does anyone want to split an apartment with me? you cant be smelly

@SenSanders @elonmusk @elonmusk would like to hear your take on this. I’m sure there’s something to blow our minds. Or just mere realisation of what our minds already have , buried deep within.

So don’t let the short format videos distract you from your originally intended thought processes. Keep your mind free and let your thoughts flow. Don’t flood it with unnecessary unwanted thoughts

@DrShauryaGarg Imagine having a 1 dollar note at home or forex card. You would buy it at today’s value, and it appreciates.

Simplest option for laymen is Gold. Next best is getting stocks abroad , like US / Japanese stocks. Any money conversion includes a Forex markup fee. Will eat into returns if it’s for short term. Infact just changing INR to USD at cheapest forex rate and holding itself will reap the benefit.
