In this episode, Tim welcomes Aryan Chaudhary, Director & Chief Scientific Adviser at Biotech Sphere Research, to explore how Project Phoenix is reshaping rural healthcare without losing the human touch. Built for low-connectivity settings, Phoenix helps frontline workers capture vitals (blood pressure, blood sugar, SpO₂) and uses AI for early warning and early detection portable, offline-friendly, and designed for low literacy.

Combining practical innovation with a community-first mindset, Aryan shares how Phoenix turns last-mile outreach into end-to-end care—screening 10,000+ people, training 200+ health workers, and rolling out across 20+ districts in Uttar Pradesh. With ASHA/Anganwadi networks, village leaders and NGOs, Phoenix plugs into e-pharmacy services and local clinics to move from data to intervention fast.

From mobile health vans, SMS workflows and local-language interfaces to a clear principle of augmentation over automation, this conversation shows the real ROI of AI in health: not just efficiency, but access, equity and empowerment. We also look at the expansion plan across Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, aligned with SDG 3 and national digital health missions.
