Wipro Collab with IISc's Centre for Brain Research for AI/ML -powered R&D on Health and Wellbeing

Wipro Limited has announced a collaboration with the Centre for Brain Research (CBR) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to pioneer AI-driven health behavior innovations. This partnership aims to leverage artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics to develop new technologies for precision support in the prevention and management of long-term health disorders.

The R&D team at Wipro, part of Lab45, will design and develop a personal care engine. This AI system will consider an individual's health history, desired health state, and other behavioral responses to promote healthy aging, positive lifestyle changes, and psycho-social wellbeing. The focus is on reducing and managing the risk of cardiovascular disease and correlated neurodegenerative disorders by personalizing interaction with users, optimizing for their long-term health and wellbeing.

Wipro will conduct a digital app-based trial in collaboration with CBR at IISc to test the engine's effectiveness for contexts deeply relevant for long-term health outcomes. The technological expertise of Wipro combined with the leading brain science research at CBR is expected to unlock new possibilities for patient care and cognitive and overall health. The joint R&D efforts will aim to develop systems that deliver better health outcomes at a population scale.

The personal care engine developed by Wipro in collaboration with the Centre for Brain Research at IISc is an AI-driven system designed to promote long-term health and psycho-social wellbeing. Below is how it works:
  • Data Integration: The engine integrates various data points, including an individual's health history, behavioral responses, and their desired health state.
  • AI and ML Algorithms: Using advanced AI and ML algorithms, the engine analyzes this data to identify patterns and make predictions.
  • Personalization: It then personalizes its interaction with users, tailoring recommendations and support to encourage healthy aging and positive lifestyle changes.
  • Health Management: The focus is on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and related neurodegenerative disorders by optimizing for the user's long-term health and wellbeing.
  • App-Based Trial: Wipro will conduct a digital app-based trial to assess the engine's effectiveness in real-world scenarios, ensuring that the technology is beneficial for long-term health outcomes.
This personal care engine represents a significant step towards precision health, leveraging technology to deliver individualized care and support for managing chronic health conditions.

Dr. Ajay Chander, Head of Research and Development, Wipro Limited, said, “Our collaboration with CBR will pioneer solutions at the intersection of computing and cognitive sciences, bringing scalable personalized care support for some of the most chronic health challenges globally. Cardiovascular conditions are a particular focus for us, because of their strong association with long-term cognitive issues and the potential for broad health and wellbeing benefits at lower costs.

Further emphasizing the importance of this partnership, Professor K.V.S. Hari, Director, Centre for Brain Research, said, “Working with Wipro allows us to amplify our scientific expertise through large-scale digital applications. This partnership will accelerate the path from research to real-world solutions in cognitive and overall health.”
