The 24-week course, offered through the institute's Continuing Education Programme (CEP), is designed to address India's growing demand for AI-driven healthcare solutions, reported IANS.
Open to clinicians, engineers, data specialists, and med-tech entrepreneurs, the programme will cover a wide range of applications: from AI in diagnostics and hospital operations to public health and automation. The curriculum begins with core AI and machine learning concepts and advances to areas such as: Deep learning for medical imaging
Natural language processing for electronic health records
Predictive analytics and risk scoring
IoT-based monitoring
Public health data intelligence
Participants will gain practical exposure to clinical datasets and hospital information systems, and work on a capstone project under the mentorship of IIT Delhi faculty.
"AI has become integral to modern healthcare. This programme is designed to help professionals lead the sector's digital transformation," said Prof. Manav Bhatnagar, Head of CEP at IIT Delhi.
The programme will be delivered through live weekend sessions, allowing flexibility for working professionals. Additionally, participants will have access to sessions with industry leaders, hospital CIOs, and med-tech innovators, focused on real-world implementation and technology trends.

FSSAI warns e-commerce platforms over food safety lapses
AI-generated representative image MUMBAI: Food regulator FSSAI warned e-commerce platforms of "severe action" if they fail to comply with food safety protocols. In a meeting on Tuesday with companies, CEO G Kamala Vardhana Rao directed platforms to share data pertaining to their warehouses, food handlers, and other relevant information with the authority to ensure transparency and compliance. They were also asked to "prominently display" their FSSAI licence number on every receipt, invoice, and cash memo provided to consumers. "The focus of the meeting was to strengthen food safety and hygiene practices throughout the entire e-commerce food supply chain. A key emphasis was also placed on the necessity for e-commerce entities to disclose comprehensive details of all warehouses and storage facilities linked to their operations on the FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) portal," FSSAI said in a statement. The possibility of displaying the date of expiry/use by for food products at the consumer interface was also discussed. The development comes at a time when quick commerce platforms have come under scrutiny over food safety violations. Last month, the Maharashtra Food & Drug Administration (FDA) department suspended food business licenses of Zepto's Dharavi dark store and another managed by Blinkit in Pune's Balewadi area over food safety lapses and regulatory non-compliance. The licences were reinstated following inspection by authorities and adherence to compliance by the platforms. Several brands have started tightening their terms of contract with platforms and are renegotiating clauses related to storage, handling, and hygiene with them following the instances, TOI had reported.
