Fee structure is set at ₹1.20 lakh plus 18 per cent GST, payable in two instalments. Eligibility extends to any graduate professional working in healthcare, research, industry or academia with interest in AI, and no prior coding experience is required.
Officials emphasise that AI has moved from optional to essential in modern medicine. Professor Manav Bhatnagar, Head of the Continuing Education Programme at IIT Delhi, highlighted the institute's goal to develop 'next‑gen capabilities that respond to evolving healthcare needs', adding that the programme will empower professionals to lead this transformation. Shantanu Rooj, Founder and CEO of TeamLease EdTech, noted that the collaboration bridges clinical knowledge and data intelligence to create impactful healthcare solutions.
External analysts point to broader global trends behind the move. The World Economic Forum estimates that AI could add over US $150 billion annually to global healthcare economies through enhanced efficiency and patient outcomes. In India, NITI Aayog and EY forecast the digital healthcare market—driven by AI diagnostics and telemedicine—to exceed $37 billion by 2030.
The curriculum is divided into several thematic blocks: foundational AI methods; clinical and hospital data analytics; predictive modelling; medical imaging and automation; IoT‑based monitoring; EHR and NLP; public health analytics; and design of dashboards and decision‑support tools. Over 10 case studies and numerous hands‑on exercises will ensure participants not only learn theory but also apply skills to real‑world challenges.
On completion, alumni can explore roles such as AI/ML Engineer developing diagnostic models; Healthcare Data Scientist analysing clinical datasets; Clinical AI Researcher validating AI systems in hospital settings; Digital Health Consultant guiding AI adoption; Medical Imaging Analyst interpreting scans; AI Product Manager in health‑tech; or Regulatory/Data Governance Specialist ensuring compliance.
The weekend‑only format promises greater flexibility for busy professionals, with interactive live sessions and opportunities to network with CIOs, med‑tech founders and industry experts. TeamLease EdTech will support the programme delivery and student success, integrating technology platforms with IIT Delhi's academic oversight.
Applications close on 31 July 2025. The programme will run from 1 November 2025 through early May 2026. Prospective applicants are directed to IIT Delhi's Continuing Education Programme portal for registration and scholarship information.
This launch positions IIT Delhi and TeamLease at the forefront of AI‑driven healthcare education, anticipating a future where data intelligence plays a transformative role in patient care, system efficiency and population health outcomes.

Real-world asset tokens are the new ETFs — CoinFund president
Real-world asset (RWA) tokens can democratize access to investments previously inaccessible to retail traders, similar to how exchange-traded funds (ETFs) expanded retail access to financial instruments when they debuted in 1993, according to Christopher Perkins, president and managing partner of investment firm CoinFund. 'I believe tokens are the new ETFs,' Perkins told Cointelegraph in an interview. The executive said tokenized RWAs, which trade 24/7 on globally accessible markets, reduce the information asymmetry that has typically kept retail investors out of private placements under existing accreditation laws. He added: 'Ordinary people cannot access private markets. They're private by their nature. And if you look in the US today, about 81% of companies — this is a BlackRock stat — with $100 million in revenue are private. Essentially, that leaves ordinary people, normal people, very little access to what are the most exciting, the most innovative companies,' he continued. Tokenized RWAs offer a compelling use case for blockchain technology that can increase capital velocity, enable equity financing through asset fractionalization, create new kinds of collateral for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, overhaul current capital formation structures, and democratize investor access to global capital markets. Public investment opportunities in TradFi drying up 'Our public markets are completely broken right now. The system is not working as it was designed. The number of public companies is decreasing materially,' Perkins told Cointelegraph. The number of public companies has fallen by about 50% since the 1990s, according to the executive. 'We are raising less money in public markets, which makes zero sense,' he added. Brokerage platform Robinhood recently debuted tokenized stock trading for European customers. As part of the push into tokenized equities, the platform announced it would distribute a small number of OpenAI and SpaceX 'private equity' tokens to clients. The tokens provide retail investors with price exposure to the underlying private companies but no stake in the actual businesses or voting rights. OpenAI was quick to warn any prospective tokenholders that the tokens do not represent a stake in the AI firm and that the company did not approve the tokens. Despite this, private companies continue to express interest in being listed on the tokenized platform, according to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev. Source:

Where is Bitcoin heading as prices hit record $120,000?
Bitcoin is expected to go higher after reaching record levels as US-led policies, and the Trump hype, give credence and "structure" to the digital asset, analysts said. The world's biggest cryptocurrency hit another milestone on Monday, topping the $120,000 mark, amid heightened flows into Bitcoin exchange traded funds. That indicates a new level of seriousness from investors. "What we're seeing now is sustained interest, supported by structural inflows, rather than short-term speculation," said Josh Gilbert, a market analyst at digital investment platform eToro. Is $150,000 within sight? Bitcoin passing $120,000 signals a sustained bullish trend heading into the third quarter of 2025, with the cryptocurrency projected to average about $125,000, said Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research. With analysts expecting a trading range of between $105,000 and $150,000, the key levels are $108,500 for support and $130,000 for resistance, "serving as critical markers for momentum confirmation", he added. But Bitcoin's rise will hit some bumps, as "investments of this magnitude don't move in straight lines", said Nigel Green, chief executive of wealth management company deVere Group. "They surge, cool, consolidate, then break out again. That's the phase we're entering," he said. 'The trajectory to $150,000 is intact, but investors should expect a sharp move to $140,000, then a healthy sell-off before we power higher." A correction may also be due. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, used to measure the mood of the market, is at 70, indicating "greed". That means it is now back in overbought territory, suggesting a correction to the $105,000 to $110,000 range "wouldn't be surprising", said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Bank. "Still, the rally is underpinned by a crypto-friendly US policy shift and growing emerging market adoption – [and] both remain intact." Who is buying Bitcoin? Bitcoin is witnessing more participation from institutional investors, such as hedge funds and mutual funds, Mr Gilbert said. "Publicly traded companies are now adopting Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategy, with some making multibillion-dollar allocations," he added. "At the same time, retirement funds and sovereign wealth funds are starting to gain exposure through ETFs [exchange-traded funds], adding to the wave of demand chasing a fixed supply. This is the first real bull market where institutional participation is front and centre." US policy wins US President Donald Trump, a former crypto sceptic, is now championing digital assets. His influence and promises – both in the political and personal spheres – started the resurgence of the sector. That has resulted in his administration pushing for more crypto-friendly regulations. This week, the US House of Representatives will tackle key bills aimed at further regulating the cryptocurrency market. Crypto enthusiasts are hopeful that the Clarity Act, Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act and Genius Act will be passed, which are expected to bring "some much-needed structure to the Wild West of digital assets", said Devika Mittal, regional head at Web3 company Ava Labs. "It's a bold move that demonstrates how far we've come from the days when cryptocurrency was viewed as a fringe investment. The timing couldn't be better, as countries like Vietnam are starting to embrace crypto themselves, following America's lead in the global digital economy." That also bodes well for Wall Street, where companies have been awaiting clearer rules. These bills could finally give them the confidence to dive in – in addition to protecting every day investors from scams and sketchy practices, Ms Mittal added. "Instead of treating crypto with suspicion, lawmakers are now actively working to help the industry thrive while keeping it transparent," she added. "It's a remarkable turnaround that could reshape our understanding of digital assets and blockchain." Among those bills, the Genius Act is expected to create a federal framework for stablecoins, one of the most significant regulatory steps the US has taken to date. 'This is not crypto on the fringe any more. This is front and centre of US financial policy. Trump is championing it, lawmakers are acting on it and Wall Street is all-in,' Mr Green said.
