China has introduced AI-powered health kiosks that operate entirely without human doctors. These advanced booths scan vital signs, conduct basic tests, and use AI to diagnose common illnesses within minutes.
Each unit includes sensors, cameras, and automated dispensers for over-the-counter medicines. Patients step inside, input symptoms, and receive instant prescriptions or referrals to hospitals if needed.
Deployed in metro stations, shopping centers, and rural areas, these kiosks offer 24/7 access to healthcare, bridging the medical gap in underserved regions. Experts believe they represent a major leap in automated public health technology.
A 9th Century AD, red sandstone sculpture from Madhya Pradesh, India 🇮🇳, depicting the Sapta Matrikas (Seven Mother Goddesses)....
The sculpture features various goddesses, including Brahmani (left, with three visible heads) and Maheshwari (center, holding a trident). It is likely from the Pratihara Dynasty, capturing the goddesses in a dynamic dancing pose.
The Matrikas are often flanked by Shiva (as Virabhadra) and Ganesha, the lord of obstacles.

Her name is Patricia Narayan.
She was born in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu.
At the age of seventeen, she married a man against her family’s wishes, and for that decision she was disowned.
Within months, she discovered that her husband was addicted to alcohol and drugs, and that he was abusive.
About a year into the marriage, with two young children to protect, she walked away and returned to her father’s home.
She was barely eighteen.
She had no degree and almost no money.
What she did have was a talent for cooking.
She borrowed a small amount from her mother, began making jams and pickles at home, and sold them locally.
The response gave her hope.
On June 21, 1982, she opened a small food cart on Chennai’s Marina Beach.
On the first day, she sold just one cup of coffee for fifty paise.
The very next day, she sold snacks worth six to seven hundred rupees.
She kept going.
Over the years, the small cart grew into a catering business serving office canteens and feeding hundreds of people every day.
Life tested her again.
Her husband died.
Later, her daughter and son in law were killed in a road accident.
She carried on despite the loss.
In memory of her daughter, she opened a chain of restaurants and named it after her.
Today, the chain has around fourteen outlets and employs more than two hundred people.
In 2010, the woman who once sold a single cup of coffee on a beach was named India’s Woman Entrepreneur of the Year.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
— Winston Churchill
Aryabhatta, a remarkable Indian mathematician and astronomer, wrote his most famous treatise, Aryabhatiya, when he was only 23 years old. It contains 121 verses on various topics of mathematics and astronomy, such as the value of pi, the solution of quadratic equations, the calculation of eclipses, and the motion of planets.
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was established in 1505. Sushruta had already been performing reconstructive surgery for over two thousand years by then. His ethical framework predates the Hippocratic Oath. East India Company surgeons were still learning rhinoplasty techniques from Indian practitioners in the 18th century.
What happened in Edinburgh this week is an overdue correction to Western assumptions about where foundational medical knowledge originated.
