The Uttar Pradesh government’s Department of Science and Technology has approved over 100 research studies on using technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain in sectors such as healthcare and renewable energy. These studies are aimed at developing applications and systems for early throat cancer detection in tobacco users, correcting sitting posture among desk workers, aiding people with disability with special wheelchairs, etc. The research proposals were approved at a meeting in Lucknow on October 5 and will cost an expenditure of ₹14 crore. The council noted that desk workers continue to work for several hours while sitting at the same seat for long durations, leading to health issues. IIT-Kanpur will develop a healthcare application using artificial intelligence and advance endoscopic imaging which will help in early detection of throat cancer.
