The 2026 Madhya Pradesh Regional AI Impact Conference took place in Bhopal on January 15 and showcased an AI-driven human body model for disease detection, attracting interest from researchers, medical practitioners, and technology specialists.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore has created an AI-powered human-like model that can replicate fundamental human actions like breathing and blinking, while also assisting in recognizing disease patterns in the human body. Created as a digital replica of the human body, the AI robot is intended to aid physicians in early and preventive diagnosis by mimicking how illnesses impact various organs.

Vaibhav Jain from Drishti CPS at IIT Indore describes Drishti CPS as a hub for technological innovation, receiving support from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, as part of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS).

"At Drishti CPS, we are providing various supports like technology development programs for faculty and students. We are extending different kinds of startup support as well. We have funded around 89 startups so far across various domains. Recently, we have been upgraded into technology translation into the healthcare sector through a new initiative called the Charak DT (Digital Twin) Platform. We are making a digital twin of Human which aims to provide preventive diagnosis of diseases to the human body," Vaibhav says.

Vaibhav further explaines, "Whatever preventive measures that have to be taken, we used to take it on a digital twin model of this human patient (replica). This patient (replica) looks like a real human which can breathe and blink eyes like a human. We can make various kinds of medical experiments, such as giving medicines and treatment activities. So that a preventive diagnosis can be provided."

"It is a Digital Twin model of human, which implements an AI model and it is trained on various human parameters that lead to some kind of diseases. So whenever these parameters get into some kind of threshold, we used to provide diagnosis with the help of different technologies. We have created the Digital Twin model for lungs for the time being and in the future we will develop the cardiovascular system and others. So, various Digital Twins will be developed in the upcoming Charak DT platform," Vaibhav adds.
