Nilesh Hanotia
Introducing Nilesh Hanotia, a pioneering entrepreneur and forward-thinking innovator at the forefront of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Nilesh is leading the development of a foundation AI model designed to assist radiologists in detecting lung-related diseases through chest X-ray imaging—an initiative with the potential to transform diagnostic accuracy and accessibility worldwide.
With a strong foundation in AI technologies and a passion for applying them to high-impact domains, Nilesh is driving a mission to augment clinical decision-making using data-driven tools. Recognizing the urgent need for faster, more reliable diagnostics in respiratory healthcare—especially in underserved regions—he founded his AI venture to bring cutting-edge deep learning models directly into the hands of radiologists and clinicians.
As the visionary behind the project, Nilesh orchestrates a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, AI engineers, and medical experts. Together, they are building a scalable and ethically-aligned foundation model trained on diverse and representative datasets to accurately identify conditions such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and lung cancer from X-ray images.
What distinguishes Nilesh is his unwavering commitment to responsible AI development. He champions transparency, clinical validation, and fairness in model performance to ensure trust in AI-assisted diagnostics. In an era where explainability and bias mitigation are critical, Nilesh is leading the charge with a model designed not just for high accuracy, but for equitable, real-world impact.
A rising thought leader in AI and medical imaging, Nilesh is an advocate for open innovation and collaborative research. He shares his vision through speaking engagements, research contributions, and partnerships with academic and healthcare institutions.
