India’s Healthcare Embraces Precision Testing and Tech-Driven Monitoring

India’s healthcare sector is rapidly adopting precision testing and technology-led monitoring, transforming care toward personalized, predictive, and preventive models. This shift aims to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and increase inclusivity.

Deepak Sahni, CEO of Healthians, emphasizes that accurate diagnostics are crucial, as errors from poor communication or uneven testing standards delay treatment and raise costs. While AI enhances diagnostics, expert doctors remain essential for complex cases.

With the healthcare market projected to reach $638 billion by 2025, preventive services are leading growth amid challenges from infectious diseases and rising chronic conditions. Initiatives like Ayushman Bharat and the ‘Aarogya Bharat’ plan promote early detection and rural access.

Remote health monitoring, growing over 21% annually, enables real-time tracking of vitals and chronic diseases, reducing hospital visits. Digital platforms like eSanjeevani and AI tools improve early warning and care delivery. Sahni concludes that smart technology is key to making healthcare more proactive, precise, and accessible across India.
