Japanese multinational Fujifilm Corporation has chosen India as a base to try out and fine tune a healthcare screening service model to be developed into a global chain of artificial intelligence-driven preventive healthcare screening centers in the coming year.
Branded NURA, the company has opened two centers that offer AI-aided health screening for the whole body in India: Bangalore, Gurugram, and would launch centers at Mumbai and Hyderabad before the end of the year. The screening package covers 15 major organs and lifestyle ailments including oral, lung, colon, prostate, breast and cervical cancers for starters.
NURA centers in India have been established through a 51:49 stake joint venture entity Fujifilm DKH, formed by Fujifilm, and Kerala-based Dr. Kutty’s Healthcare.
Dr. Tausif Ahmed Thangalvadi, medical director NURA said that this screening caters to the preventative healthcare needs of healthy asymptomatic people. Fujifilms’ proprietary technology makes the tests safer (due to ultra low dose radiation) and more accurate (due to Ai technology), he added.
Teiichi Goto, president and CEO, Representative Director, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation said the plan is to open 100 such screening centers across the world in the coming years.
