Focusing on machine learning and AI in the next era of health
care, a Joint Teachers Training Program on Data Science for ML & IoT with
health care applications was organized by Rajeev Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) in association
with Sri Aurobindo Institute of Technology, Indore,
for six days. Dr Sunil Kumar, the Hon'ble Vice-chancellor of RGPV,
Bhopal, was the chief guest at the event and spoke about the role of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in the development of new tools and techniques using machine
learning for society's betterment.
He said that the principal focus is on developing devices,
gadgets for analysis, generating accurate results, and predicting the disease
in no time.
The event was inaugurated by Shri Kinshuk Trivedi, Vice
President SAIMS, Indore. And an opening address was given by Prof Y N Singh. In
which he briefed about the importance of machines, especially in the health
care sector. The address was followed by a speech by Ms Anuradha Thota, MD of
Blackbuck. Ms Thota spoke about the recent trends of AI in the health care
industry. And how data science techniques make it easy for developers to create
new devices and AI-based applications, predicting accurate results.
Thereafter various sessions were held with leading figures in
the health care industry, giving their insights. Mr Y N Singh, in his session,
discussed the use of peer-to-peer networks for the Internet of Things (IoT). He
talked about eliminating security issues of IoT's implementation and use.
Mr Preet Yadav of NXP Semiconductor's talked about Body Area
Network (BAN). That is available in gadgets to get the body's current status
and thus helps the patient.
Each speaker had something unique to offer. Dr Vivek Tiwari from
IIITM Raipur discussed various techniques to extract required data and result
from massive data set available from multiple sources.
Dr B C Moulli from Blackbuck discussed various AI-based models
which help design health care applications.In his session, Dr Sunil Kumar
Vuppala, from Ericson, discussed how using AI techniques help predict images.
While Mr Ravi Kumar Meduri, Executive Vice President of Incoming, shared
various live project details completed using health care imaging.
Highlighting the use of the methodology in biomedical imaging
like CT Scan, MRI, Ultra Sound, X-ray, Dr Chandan Chakraborty, in his lecture,
said that these are the prime sources of information to diagnose or find the
impact of a disease.
Dr Aruna Tiwari of IIT Indore said that a protein detail
consumes millions of bytes, and extracting vital information from enormous data
is complex. And went on to inform about the importance of machine learning with
soft computing.
Shri Raj Neravati of Titan India shared his thoughts on decision
making concepts. He said that If human beings perform decision making, then it
can be up to the mark, but if the machine decides to work- It will have both
technological pros and cons.
Dhiraj Sangwan from CEERI Pilani said today's machines are
needed to provide accurate results in any investigation. In such situations,
deep learning techniques are vital. And we need algorithms for the model design
that delivers meaningful results.
Indian entrepreneurs have developed multiple tools to diagnose
complicated diseases. In a special session of this TTP, Fitness awareness for
participants, Dr Rahul Sonene talked about the Ayurveda theory. In his lecture,
he spoke on the "Prakriti" of all human beings. It is œVaat, Kapha
and Pitta. A small change in our routine food habits can make our life
healthier.
Throwing light on vocational education or skill-based learning, Col
B Venkat, Director, FDC, AICTE, discussed the New Education policy that will
provide professional education to the students- both regular and vocational
education will enhance the skill set of the youth, meeting international needs.
In this Teachers Training Program distinguished experts, from
educational institutes and industries, across India have delivered their expert
views. The other main speakers in the event were: Dr DC Jinwala, Professor, IIT
Jammu, Dr Udai Pratap Rao, Asst Prof. SVNIT Surat, Prof Mukesh Zaveri,
