AI-powered chatbots, AI-enabled solutions for traditional medicine systems and Yoga Posture AI — a computer vision-based solution that enables users to assess, correct and accurately perform Yoga asanas with enhanced precision and safety attracted crowd to the Ayush Pavilion at the India–AI Impact Summit 2026 that ended on February 20.

Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, along with Vaidya Rabinarayan Acharya, Director General, Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), and senior officials, reviewed the Ayush Pavilion exhibits showcasing digital initiatives and technology-enabled public health tools. The Secretary appreciated the Ayush Grid team for presenting a structured and impactful demonstration of technology-driven interventions designed to strengthen service delivery, research, education, and governance across the Ayush sector. The Secretary, along with senior officials, visited pavilions of other key exhibitors and engaged in insightful interactions, including Sarvam AI, Meity, Meta, Google and other leading organisations in the domain at the summit which began on February 16.

He noted the practical utility of AI-based chatbots developed to support citizens, practitioners, and institutions, reflected ongoing efforts to embed digital intelligence into traditional healthcare frameworks. Emphasising the strategic importance of indigenous AI capabilities for healthcare transformation, he stated, “India’s Sovereign AI Models must be leveraged to strengthen the Ayush digital ecosystem while ensuring data integrity, inclusivity and global interoperability. We must integrate artificial intelligence with traditional knowledge responsibly to create scalable, people-centric healthcare solutions.”

The Ayush Pavilion at the summit presented the comprehensive architecture of the Ayush Grid — India’s digital public health infrastructure for traditional medicine. At the core of this ecosystem is the My Ayush Integrated Services Portal (MAISP), a unified digital gateway that integrates healthcare services, education, research, medicinal plant information, drug administration, and public outreach through a single platform. The initiative aims to enable seamless, technology-supported access to authentic Ayush services for citizens and institutions.

Live demonstrations of AI-enabled tools were a major point of interaction for visitors. In addition, initiatives of the IIT Jodhpur Centre of Excellence were presented, highlighting ongoing research at the intersection of digital health, artificial intelligence and traditional medicine. Interactive displays provided insights into collaborative research and emerging AI applications in traditional healthcare systems.
