Apollo, Siemens collaborate to advance innovation in liver healthcare
The research, spanning quantitative ultrasound imaging to AI-driven clinical solutions, aims to enhance liver disease management by improving patient care pathways and outcomes — from early detection and risk stratification to monitoring intervention and therapy response, the companies said in a statement.
'Our collaboration with Siemens Healthineers is a transformative step in using AI to redefine non-invasive diagnostics for liver disease," Apollo Hospitals Joint Managing Director Sangita Reddy said.
AI-driven disease progression models shall play a pivotal role in early detection of fibrosis, allowing timely interventions, cost-effective screening, and improved patient outcomes, she added.
'We believe that advanced technologies will aid timely and precise diagnosis, leading to better disease management and improving the quality of life for patients. Our joint effort will help address the unmet needs in liver disease diagnosis and treatment, and we look forward to a fruitful partnership," Hariharan Subramanian, Managing Director at Siemens Healthcare, said.

TN CM reviews party work from hospital
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Chennai, Jul 26 (PTI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M K Stalin reviewed the implementation of the 'Oraniyil Tamil Nadu" membership drive initiative along with party functionaries from the hospital room here on Saturday. Despite being hospitalised after he developed sudden giddiness during a morning walk on July 21, and advised rest, the Chief Minister has been reviewing the government programmes and initiatives from the hospital room. On Saturday, he obtained feedback from his party's senior functionaries on 'Oraniyil Tamil Nadu," which is an election campaign and a membership drive of the DMK. 'Though the doctors advised me rest, I have no heart to rest in the hospital. I met the party members who are tirelessly working. They shared the joyful news that we have reached our target in membership enrollment in 150 constituencies," the Chief Minister said in a post on the social media platform 'X'.

China urges global consensus on balancing AI development, security
China's Premier Li Qiang warned Saturday that artificial intelligence development must be weighed against the security risks, saying global consensus was urgently needed even as the tech race between Beijing and Washington shows no sign of remarks came just days after US President Donald Trump unveiled an aggressive low-regulation strategy aimed at cementing US dominance in the fast-moving field, promising to "remove red tape and onerous regulation" that could hinder private sector AI development. Opening the World AI Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai on Saturday, Li emphasised the need for governance and open-source development, announcing the establishment of a Chinese-led body for international AI cooperation. "The risks and challenges brought by artificial intelligence have drawn widespread attention... How to find a balance between development and security urgently requires further consensus from the entire society," the premier said. Li said China would "actively promote" the development of open-source AI , adding Beijing was willing to share advances with other countries, particularly developing ones. "If we engage in technological monopolies, controls and blockage, artificial intelligence will become the preserve of a few countries and a few enterprises," he said. "Only by adhering to openness, sharing and fairness in access to intelligence can more countries and groups benefit from (AI)." The premier highlighted "insufficient supply of computing power and chips" as a bottleneck. Washington has expanded its efforts in recent years to curb exports of state-of-the-art chips to China, concerned that these can be used to advance Beijing's military systems and erode US tech dominance. For its part, China has made AI a pillar of its plans for technological self-reliance, with the government pledging a raft of measures to boost the sector. In January, Chinese startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model that performed as well as top US systems despite using less powerful chips. 'Pet tiger cub' At a time when AI is being integrated across virtually all industries, its uses have raised major ethical questions, from the spread of misinformation to its impact on employment, or the potential loss of technological control. In a speech at WAIC on Saturday, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Geoffrey Hinton compared the situation to keeping "a very cute tiger cub as a pet". "To survive", he said, you need to ensure you can train it not to kill you when it grows up. In a video message played at the WAIC opening ceremony, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said AI governance would be "a defining test of international cooperation". The ceremony also saw the French president's AI envoy, Anne Bouverot, underscore the "an urgent need" for global action. At an AI summit in Paris in February, 58 countries including China, France and India -- as well as the European Union and African Union Commission -- called for enhanced coordination on AI governance. But the United States warned against "excessive regulation", and alongside the United Kingdom, refused to sign the summit's appeal for an "open", "inclusive" and "ethical" AI.

NISAR mission to benefit global community in earth observation: ISRO chief
Tiruchirappalli, Jul 27 (PTI) The NISAR mission, jointly developed by ISRO and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), would significantly benefit the global community in earth observation, ISRO chairman V Narayanan said here on Saturday. The GSLV-F16/NISAR Mission is the result of over a decade of robust technical cooperation between the two teams of ISRO and NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory, US. According to ISRO, the mission in itself has got a lot of firsts — it is the first mission to carry dual-band radar satellite, a GSLV rocket will carry a satellite to be placed in Sunsynchronous Orbit (unlike PSLV rockets) and it is the first ISRO-NASA Earth Observation Mission. NISAR, which is short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), would help scientists comprehensively monitor Earth's land and ice surfaces, building a detailed record of large and small changes over time. The mission would also be crucial in helping the scientific community to gain a better understanding of the processes involved during natural calamities like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides. As per the collaboration between ISRO and NASA, the rocket would carry a unique earth observation satellite with a dual-frequency radar provided by NASA's L-Band and ISRO's S-Band. The Radar would use NASA's 12 metre mesh reflector antenna that has been integrated into ISRO's I3K satellite bus. Speaking to reporters here, Narayanan said, 'NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite launch will be done using our GSLV-MkII vehicle (GSLV-F16). The payloads are jointly realised by ISRO and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), USA. This satellite is going to be useful for the global community in earth observation and disaster mitigation areas." 'The Mission is also a very, very important as ISRO would be making the 102nd launch from Indian soil that is targeted on July 30, 5.40 pm (from Sriharikota)", Narayanan also the Secretary, Department of Space, said. Weighing 2,392 kg, the satellite would observe the earth with a swath of 242 km and high spatial resolution, using SweepSAR technology for the first time, ISRO said. The satellite would scan the entire globe and provide all weather, day and night data at 12-day interval and enable a wide range of applications. The radar can detect even small changes in the Earth's surface such as ground deformation, ice-sheet movement and vegetation dynamics. Some of the other applications are ship detection, shoreline monitoring, storm characterisation, changes in soil moisture, mapping and monitoring of surface water resources and disaster response, the space agency said. NISAR would provide scientific information about the Earth's processes and it would study key changes in Earth's land and ice. The mission would also be more powerful than previous Synthetic Aperture Radar missions as it will monitor parts of Earth which are not previously covered.
