Autonomous Institution

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)

Five evidence-based challenges identified for this entity, each paired with a ready-to-build AI tool specification — free for the Government of India to deploy.

Top 5 Challenges

Drawn from official reports, audits, parliamentary material and public feedback. Framed as improvement opportunities, never as criticism.

  1. 1

    Ethics and trial approval workflows are slow, delaying critical health research

  2. 2

    Disease surveillance data from states arrives late with uneven formats and quality

  3. 3

    Synthesizing research evidence into policy briefs takes months of manual effort

  4. 4

    Laboratory network capacity planning during outbreak surges lacks predictive tooling

  5. 5

    Public health misinformation spreads faster than official clarification and response mechanisms

Five AI Tools

Each tool answers the matching challenge above, and is built on curated official sources with safeguards and human oversight.

Naitik Sutra

Ethics Approval Workflow Copilot

Workflow copilot for ICMR ethics review. Pre-screens research proposals against the National Ethical Guidelines 2017 and New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules 2019, flags gaps before committee meetings and drafts consolidated query letters to cut approval delays.

Rog Netra

Disease Surveillance Data Harmonizer

Harmonizes disease surveillance data flowing from states to ICMR and the IDSP/IHIP ecosystem. Standardizes formats, reconciles case definitions, flags late or implausible reporting and produces clean, analysis-ready epidemiological summaries.

Swasthya Manthan

Evidence-to-Policy Synthesis Engine

Turns bodies of medical research into concise, citable policy briefs for ICMR and the Ministry of Health. Extracts and grades evidence, frames policy options for Indian health systems and cuts months of manual synthesis to days.

Prayog Chakra

Lab Network Surge Planner

Predictive surge planner for ICMR's laboratory networks, including the VRDL network. Models testing demand under outbreak scenarios, maps capacity, reagents and staffing, and recommends load-balancing so no laboratory is overwhelmed.

Arogya Vaani

Health Misinformation Response Assistant

Helps ICMR communication teams counter health misinformation fast. Deconstructs viral claims, matches them against published ICMR and MoHFW guidance, rates harm and urgency, and drafts multilingual, evidence-cited rebuttals ready for official clearance.
