Elsevier Health to showcase the impact of AI and digital health transformation in India at the 2024 Global Digital Health Summit

Elsevier, a global leader in medical information and data analytics, announced today its participation in the Global Digital Health Summit 新しいタブ／ウィンドウで開く (GDHS-24) taking place in Mumbai, India on October 4-5. The premier event convenes thousands of physicians, healthcare leaders, policymakers and digital health companies from around the world and provides a platform to showcase cutting-edge technologies and facilitate discussions on the widespread deployment of digital technologies, including AI.

Jan Herzhoff, PhD, President, Elsevier Health said: “As a company with a strong presence in India, we are excited to partner with the Global Digital Health Summit to highlight the importance of AI and digital health solutions in the transformation of the healthcare system in the country. We also look forward to gathering with providers and partners and exchanging ideas on how we can all collaborate more effectively across the public and private sector to drive positive change that will benefit all patients.”

As a leading global provider of clinical solutions, Elsevier has been delivering trusted research content, localized digital solutions and insightful analytics in India since 1996. In the healthcare sector, Elsevier’s solutions are used by clinicians across India in delivering quality patient care and enhancing health outcomes.

Some of the key products include ClinicalKey, a leading clinical decision support and reference tool for hospital systems and medical schools that supports point of care and deep reference needs, and the newly launched ClinicalKey AI, which offers a conversational search interface with advanced generative AI to help physicians quickly find accurate and succinct clinical information based on one of the world’s largest and most trusted bodies of medical information available anywhere.

The Indian healthcare system is a diverse and complex network of public and private sectors that provide a wide range of medical services to the world’s largest population of 1.4 billion people. Despite undergoing significant systemic changes in recent years, the system continues to face challenges including inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of healthcare professionals, and urban-rural disparities throughout the country. These challenges are further intensified by the changing disease profile of India with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension.

One of the largest hurdles that India faces with its vast population is the marked disparity in the quality and accessibility of healthcare services between urban and rural areas. To help address this disparity, Elsevier is part of Digital Innovations & Interventions for Sustainable HealthTech Action (DIISHA), a strategic Public Private Partnership (PPP) pilot to empower and digitally upskill frontline healthcare workers like Accredited Social Heath Activists (ASHA) workers in building a sustainable rural health delivery model and revolutionizing last mile delivery in India. As part of this pilot, Elsevier Health will support the training of thousands of frontline healthcare workers across the country and the deployment of the expert led AI solution ClinicalPath Primary Care India to assist in the screening and assessment of patients in rural areas.

Mr. Herzhoff added, “We are proud to be a key partner in this national pilot and are committed to working alongside state governments in addressing health equity and improving access to quality care through our innovative suite of solutions now and in the future.”
