Strengthening Collaboration

Participants stressed the need for collaboration between healthcare providers, technology developers, regulators, and academic institutions to ensure AI innovations align with public health goals.

The declaration also calls for clear regulatory frameworks and standardized evaluation processes to build trust among patients and clinicians.

Advancing Digital Health in India

With India rapidly expanding its digital health ecosystem, leaders said the declaration marks an important step toward positioning Ahmedabad as a hub for responsible health-tech innovation.

By setting guiding principles early, stakeholders aim to foster innovation while minimizing risks, ensuring that AI contributes to improved clinical outcomes and equitable access to care.
