The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has created a Guinness World Record for hosting the highest number of viewers on a YouTube live session focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
The live online session was organised as part of an academic initiative aimed at helping medical professionals understand the growing role of AI in the healthcare sector. During the session, a total of 17,999 viewers joined simultaneously, making it the most-watched live educational stream on AI in healthcare.
Growing Role of Digital Learning in Healthcare
This achievement reflects the increasing importance of digital learning platforms in the medical field. With the rapid advancement of technology, traditional methods of teaching are now being supported by online training sessions, webinars, and virtual learning programs.
Artificial Intelligence is gradually becoming an important tool in modern healthcare systems. It is being used in various areas such as analysing medical reports, improving diagnosis, managing patient data, and supporting doctors in clinical decision-making. AI also helps in the early detection of diseases and improves the overall efficiency of treatment planning.
Importance of AI in Modern Medical Practice
As healthcare systems continue to evolve, the need for medical professionals to understand new technologies is becoming more important than ever before. Initiatives like this allow doctors and healthcare workers to stay updated with the latest developments in medical science and technology.
The NBEMS AI programme was designed as a structured learning course delivered by experienced faculty members from India and abroad. It aims to introduce participants to the practical applications of AI in real-life healthcare settings.
Moving Towards Technology-Driven Healthcare
Experts believe that such digital learning initiatives can play a significant role in improving the quality of healthcare education and training in the future. Online platforms make it easier for professionals from different locations to access learning opportunities without geographical limitations.
The successful completion of this live session and the creation of a Guinness World Record highlight the growing interest in AI-based healthcare solutions and the importance of integrating technology into medical education and practice.
This milestone also marks a step forward in promoting awareness about the use of advanced technologies in improving patient care and healthcare outcomes.
