Breast cancer is not just a women’s health issue—it’s a public health emergency in India. With over 14% of all cancers in Indian women being breast cancer, and most cases being detected at late stages, thousands of lives are lost every year simply due to late diagnosis.
But now, a new AI-powered initiative is bringing hope, access, and awareness to breast health—free of cost.
AI Meets Early Detection
To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a free breast health screening program using Thermalytix—an AI-powered thermal imaging technology that enables radiation-free, contactless, painless breast cancer screening—has been launched in North India.
The initiative is being led by the senior consultant & head of oncology at ShardaCare Healthcity, and screenings are being conducted not only at the hospital but also in:
✅ Corporate offices
✅ Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs)
✅ Community outreach centers
This model reflects a community-first approach—making preventive healthcare convenient, accessible, and stigma-free for women across age groups.
What is Thermalytix?
Thermalytix is a breakthrough breast screening solution that uses AI to analyze heat patterns from breast tissue. Since cancer cells multiply rapidly, they generate more heat and create thermal variations, which this system can detect.
| Feature | Benefit |
| No radiation | Safe for repeated screening |
| No physical contact | Preserves dignity and comfort |
| Painless | Encourages participation |
| AI-based | Detects cancer early |
| Portable | Useful in remote areas |
How Accurate Is It?
Compared to traditional mammograms, Thermalytix has shown competitive or better accuracy:
| Screening Method | Sensitivity | Specificity |
| Thermalytix (AI) | 90–95% | 82–89% |
| Mammography | 75–85% | 75–90% |
| Ultrasound | 85–95% | 75–85% |
✅ Ideal for young women
✅ Works better for dense breasts
✅ Safe for rural and low-resource settings
Why India Needs This Now
- 60% of Indian breast cancer patients are diagnosed late
- Only 0.9% of Indian women (30–49 years) undergo regular screening
- Stigma and lack of awareness prevent women from seeking early help
- Cost and access remain barriers in many areas
This AI-led screening breaks barriers by offering:
✔ Painless testing
✔ Fast reporting
✔ Community reach
✔ Early risk detection
Doctorpreneur Insight: Healthcare Is Changing—AI Is Leading the Way
This initiative is not just a screening drive—it is a movement toward preventive oncology in India. It signals three major healthcare shifts:
✅ Preventive care over late treatment
✅ AI-enabled diagnostics in community care
✅ Hospital-driven outreach to build trust and impact
At The Doctorpreneur Academy, we believe doctors must lead these innovations—bringing technology and compassion together for real change. AI tools like Thermalytix open the door for:
- Mobile screening programs
- Tele-oncology services
- Preventive healthcare startups
- Government-NGO collaborations
Conclusion
Breast cancer can be beaten—but only if detected early. AI-powered screening like Thermalytix brings us one step closer to saving more lives through awareness and technology. This initiative is a reminder that innovation must reach the people who need it most.
A painless test today can prevent a painful tomorrow.
