Between Appointments: A Desi Digital Companion Who’s Got The Patient’s Back

Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore and IIIT Hyderabad’s Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC) have developed BandhuCare, a multi-lingual AI-powered patient engagement platform designed specifically for cancer care. Unlike consumer AI assistants, BandhuCare, instead of trawling through the internet, answers questions only from information carefully curated and verified by clinicians. While CMC provided domain expertise and anonymised medical data, IIIT-H developed machine translation technologies that could be refined using continuous feedback from clinicians. The project, supported by the National Cancer Grid and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India – MeitY’s India AI initiative, has reached Technology Readiness Level 5, with ethics approvals in place for clinical pilot studies involving patients.

IIIT-H’s Participation At Prestigious CVPR Conference Puts CVIT In Clear Focus

Research on making 3D models lighter, improving how artificial intelligence understands videos, and preventing unauthorised 3D reconstruction from images featured among the papers presented by researchers from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H) at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2026 conference and its workshops. Among the award-winning papers, Kunal Bhosikar’s “Fast and Robust Mesh Simplification for Generated and Real World 3-D Assets” was named Best Paper Runner-Up at a workshop on 3D geometry generation. The paper addresses a key challenge in 3D AI, where highly detailed models are often too heavy to store, render and process efficiently. The work proposes a mesh simplification technique that removes unnecessary triangles while preserving the model’s shape, curvature and texture, making 3D assets easier to use in areas such as medical imaging and virtual reality.
