IIITH hosted Winter Dialogue on Responsible AI for Healthcare Innovation

IIITH hosted the Winter Dialogue on Responsible AI for Synergistic Excellence (RAISE) as an official pre-summit event of the AI Impact Summit 2026 on 20 January. The four-city Winter Dialogue series is organised by Ashoka University and NIMS Jaipur jointly with IIITH and C-CAMP Bangalore. The one-day dialogue brought together leaders from healthcare, technology, policy, academia, and startups to explore how AI can responsibly transform healthcare delivery through intelligent, accessible, and human centred technologies. With HealthTech and AI as the central theme, the Winter Dialogue examined opportunities for AI-powered healthcare innovation, challenges in building and scaling healthcare startups, and pathways for taking Indian health AI solutions to global markets. Prof. SK Shukla said, “As AI becomes embedded in healthcare decision-making, the focus must move beyond technological capability to responsibility, trust, and real-world impact. Platforms like the Winter Dialogue are essential for aligning innovation with ethical, patient-centric outcomes.”

IIITH researchers develop an IoT-based low cost UPS detection device 

IIITH doesn’t just believe in translational research. It walks the talk as evidenced by its latest Best Paper award-winning research that has resulted in the development of an IoT-based UPS detection device at COMSNETS-2026 held in Bangalore. The idea for a low-cost UPS monitoring system at IIITH did not begin in a laboratory or a funding proposal. It began with a familiar frustration – raised by Prakash Nayak, a campus IT staffer who was tired of equipment failures with no clear explanation. Power outages were happening. Servers were restarting. Despite the installation of UPS units everywhere, no one could say with certainty what the UPS systems were actually doing when the lights went out. That real-world problem became the starting point for a research project that has now resulted in a ₹2,000 IoT-based device capable of tracking UPS behaviour during outages with near-second precision. The research was documented in a paper titled, “Low-cost IoT-based Downtime Detection for UPS and Behaviour Analysis,” by authors Sannidhya Gupta, Prakash Nayak, and Prof. Sachin Chaudhari.

IIITH team develops AI tools to analyse Indian thali

From tracking macros and calories in Indian thalis to helping culinary enthusiasts understand the nuances of different types of biryanis, researchers at IIITH are using computer vision to conserve food culture and traditions. If you’re someone who has been tracking your food intake via an app, you are already aware of the challenges it poses. Especially when it comes to traditional Indian meals. Understanding an Indian meal is far more complex than analysing a burger or a sandwich – and that challenge is now at the heart of a growing research effort that is using AI to decode Indian food, cooking and culture. Researchers from the Center for Visual Information Technology, IIITH are developing tools to understand a typical Indian thali – a plate that often contains multiple dishes such as rice, dal, roti, chutney, curd – with mixed textures and overlapping ingredients. As Prof. CV Jawahar, who has been leading the project asks, “If you are given a full plate of typical Indian food that not only has multiple dishes, but mixed ones like rice topped with dal, a roti hidden under a papad.… how do you understand what is there on a plate and eventually its nutritional value?”

IIITH launches online Master of Science in Data Science

IIITH’s Division of Flexible Learning (DFL) is launching the 2nd edition of the online degree program: MS in Data Science. The two-year, UGC-approved Masters program is designed to provide rigorous academic training in data science while offering the flexibility of a fully online format. The program is tailored to meet the needs of working professionals and learners who cannot attend on-campus classes, enabling them to upskill without disrupting their careers. The program is designed to be flexible, allowing those enrolled up to 4 years to graduate. Data Science program does not require an entrance examination, opening the door for a wider pool of talented learners from diverse backgrounds. The curriculum combines sound theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, preparing graduates for high-demand roles in the rapidly evolving data science industry. Commenting on the new online Masters program, Prof Sandeep K. Shukla said, “IIITH’s UGC approved Masters degree program in DS will enable students from all over India, as well as anywhere in the world to get skilled in DS and be effective in the field – either in research or in their jobs.
