Kauvery Hospital launches AI in stroketreatment

The Kauvery Institute of Brain and Spine (KIBS), at

Kauvery Hospital has launched neuro-specialty

clinics and introduced the use of AI in stroke care.

The new clinics include a Facial Pain Clinic,

Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder Clinic, Spine

Deformity Clinic, and Epilepsy Clinic, all of which will

offer medical and surgical treatment for both adults

and children.

“The collaboration between specialists across

various fields ensures that our patients receive well-

rounded care,” said Dr Krish Sridhar, Group Mentor,

Neurosciences & Director of KIBS.

Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder and Executive

Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, said that

timely diagnosis and treatment can significantly

improve patient outcomes.

“With AI, we can ensure that no time is wasted in

treating stroke patients, leading to better recovery

and reduced long-term disability,” he said.

Dr Shriram Varadharajan, Senior Consultant, Neuro-

radiology, and Clinical Lead (Brain and Spine

Imaging), said “With AI, we aim to speed up stroke

diagnosis. It won’t replace doctors but will support

them by quickly analyzing scans. 

Dr. Sridhar said KIBS would collaborate with smaller

hospitals in the city to help process and diagnose

abnormalities in CT scans.

“We’re focusing on hospitals that have a CT scan

facility but nothing more than that. So far, three

have signed up,” he added.
