The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has launched the Cancer AI and Technology Challenge (CATCH).
CATCH is a joint innovation grant program by IndiaAI Mission in partnership with the National Cancer Grid (NCG).
The program aims to accelerate the validation and deployment of the artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment and patient care across India.
CATCH will support AI solutions for early detection, clinical decision making, patient engagement, research, hospital operations and data management.
The initiative addresses India’s rising cancer burden and limited access to timely diagnosis and care.
