Federated AI for Open-Source Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance in India

Tavpritesh Sethi of Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi in India will develop an AI-based platform for AMR surveillance and management across a broad network of public and private hospitals in India. The platform will extract weekly data on AMR from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (AIIMS Delhi) hospital and the Max Healthcare hospital network, including patterns of antibiotic prescriptions across the network. It will use a federated data analysis approach (joint analysis without sharing the data itself), and they will develop and integrate AI-based models to identify and predict trends in AMR. They will also create applications driven by these models to widely and effectively communicate the analyses to healthcare professionals. This will support antibiotic stewardship and data-driven AMR management at both the local and regional levels.
