Sector 46, #Gurgaon, a main sector and EVERY SINGLE DAY there are powercuts of 1-7 hours long. This when there is a pandemic on, it's sweltering outside, and people are trying to work from home. Aarrrgghhhh! #DHBVN @cmohry @Gurgaon #powercut

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

@AditiGanju @aakashganju Oh no. This makes me sad. Another kind of end of an era :/

For anyone who has uses birding as a verb, this will hit home ...and leave you laughing out loud.

@santoshshevade @nkalnad Lol. So true though. It is through the eyes of others that we learn of ourselves. And academia doesn't notice these skills. :)

@chiefchimpanzee Sorry you had to go through the loss and more sorry that your family.didnt get the support you both deserved. Your tweeets touched a cord in me and reminded me why we do need to rebuild the healthcare system to be more people centered, supportive and personalized.

Fun debate #WHS2019
@bernd_montag: Let's not overburden #digitalhealth with weight of solving preexisting biases.

@naomileecastill from @TheLancet: The negative impact of bias in a digital tool can be far reaching. Also it's 2019. Bias in healthcare ain't acceptable anymore.

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

It's perhaps because of its very complexity that healthcare lends itself very well to digitisation. We need to make scope for iteration and creativity in healthcare. It's time for the lag and inequality in healthcare digitization to end.

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

As we digitize healthcare we need to understand that the rules of engagement need to be different for a digital ecosystem from those in a physical ecosystem. @BMarianoJr on #AI and #digitalhealth at #WHS2019

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

Today we don't have healthcare systems, we have disease treatment systems.

So on point @GermannStefan from @FondationBotnar at #WHS2019

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

The first role of #AI in #healthcare is to bring about efficiency and productivity. Automating tasks. Make clinical processes easier. These are not moonshots but can have immense impact. @bernd_montag on role of AI in healthcare at #WHS2019

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

There are diseases of want in poorer countries that can be addressed with the right information and support. But they are not because there is no powerful narrative to convince rich countries to 'want' to cure them. @DJSnower on #UHC at #whs2019

[Sumiti Saharan @SaharanSumiti]

Private sector innovation through business models that help decentralise healthcare and take a more community-based approach. @haraldnusser on role of private sector in driving well-functioning healthcare systems.
Both individually and as a part of @avegenhealth I agree.

Health is a social contract between the Government and its people. Key ask in #UHC2030.

@AnneReijns and my take on the colloquial chicken or egg dillema for all kinds of innovators

[Media-Avataar India @MediavataarIND]

What is more important: Go-to-market strategy or product development?
