Rizwan Koita, co-founder of Koita Foundation, sat down with The Indian Express to talk about why digital and AI adoption in healthcare has been so much harder than in sectors like banking or e-commerce — and what it will actually take to implement and take advantage of digital and AI tools in healthcare.
