What can we do today in AI that will change the world? And after a lot of soul searching, we said Healthcare is the one which has the highest AI impact. So why don't we think of healthcare? We started with genomics and radiology as the two areas and eventually boiled down to radiology. And we said, look, let's go and work backwards from decisions like think about tuberculosis. You know, India is a tuberculosis capital of the world. So we said look at tuberculosis is a problem and can we see with a chest X-ray? Can be diagnosed tuberculosis because frankly they're not enough radiology in the world so many of the successful AI applications are thought from the consumer or the user backwards rather than data forwards which is how tech companies tech people usually think so we created QR dot AI and now QR has touched 25,000,000 lives around the world so 25 million people have been scanned using cure X-rays and today it's identifying things like lung cancer so if you if you lung cancer that situation is such that if you. Protect early, you can have 70 to 80% survival rate but if you detect late so survival rate drops to seven 8%.
