Professor Mithali Mukherjee, co-head of the Ayurtech Center of Excellence at IIT Jodhpur and a champion of ayurgenomics in India, said, “This platform or tech layer is the ‘prakriti’ of a person, that is, the state that describes the condition of a person. Ayurveda gives a very interesting definition of health. It gives information about a population in seven ways on the basis of defects. This includes vata, pitta and cough.

How will the platform work?

The tech platform with Ayurvedic layer is being developed by the IIT Jodhpur team in collaboration with Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Rajasthan Ayurved University and AIIMS, Jodhpur. This platform will detect the nature of any person and give them health related advice. It will also include information related to Ayurveda.

At present, doctors of Ayurveda identify the Prakriti of a person by accessing the doshas through three different traditional methods. This includes feeling the nervous system, the color of the person’s hair and asking some questions. The IIT team is trying to understand the nature of a person through modern technologies like sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
