Most conversations around AI in healthcare focus on replacing doctors. But what if the bigger opportunity is using AI to create better-trained, more confident, and more accessible healthcare professionals at scale?
In this episode of the ExitFund Podcast, Maj. (Dr.) Saurabh Bhatia shares how his experience in healthcare informatics led to building QQ Sphere, an AI platform helping MBBS students improve clinical understanding, viva skills, communication, and postgraduate exam preparation.
The conversation explores India’s medical education challenges, including faculty shortages, language barriers, overcrowded classrooms, and the gap between theoretical learning and practical readiness. Dr. Bhatia also explains why healthcare AI must move beyond generic chatbots and adapt to each student’s learning level, strengths, and blind spots.
