A memorable National Occupational Health Day!
Honoured to be invited to speak at the National Occupational Health Day celebrations, marking the Foundation Day of the Indian Association of Occupational Health (IAOH) hosted at ICMR–National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH), Ahmedabad
It was a privilege to share my thoughts on **"AI in Occupational Health: Practical Applications for Factory Medical Officers"** with an audience of occupational physicians, factory medical officers, and scientists. The interactive discussions, insightful questions, and enthusiasm from the participants made the session truly rewarding.
Artificial Intelligence is not here to replace doctors—it is here to help us reduce paperwork, derive meaningful insights from health data, strengthen preventive care, and ultimately allow us to spend more time where it matters most: with our workers and patients.
My heartfelt thanks to **Dr. Bhavesh Modi**, Director, **ICMR–NIOH**, for the gracious invitation and warm hospitality. I am equally grateful to the **Indian Association of Occupational Health (IAOH)** for this opportunity to contribute to such an important occasion and to engage with professionals who work tirelessly to ensure safer and healthier workplaces.
Sharing a few moments from the event. Looking forward to many more collaborations at the intersection of **Occupational Health, Digital Health, and Artificial Intelligence**.
