Baby Memorial Hospital (BMH) Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with clinical AI company DeepInfinity.AI, naming it a single “AI Partner” for artificial intelligence deployments across the group’s clinical and administrative workflows. The arrangement is among the first in India where a hospital network consolidates multiple AI use cases under one partner instead of buying separate point solutions from different vendors.

The MoU was announced during the UK-India Diagnostic Cohort Mission 2026, a bilateral initiative aimed at deepening healthcare and diagnostics collaboration between the two countries.

One framework, many workflows

Under the partnership, DeepInfinity.AI will bring its portfolio of clinical AI applications to a range of hospital functions, including:

• Clinical documentation
• Radiology and laboratory reporting
• Intensive care unit (ICU) notes
• Discharge summaries
• Digitisation of medical records
• Back-office and operational reporting

The tools draw on ambient voice capture, speech recognition, clinical natural language processing and large language models, and are designed to sit on top of BMH’s existing Hospital Information System rather than replace it. Individual applications will be rolled out in phases agreed between the two organisations.

For BMH Group, which runs nine hospitals with more than 2,800 beds across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana, the goal is a common approach to implementation, governance and performance measurement for AI across the network, while cutting the complexity of managing several technology vendors.

Freeing clinicians from paperwork

The expected gains are practical. Automating routine documentation and reporting could reduce the administrative load on doctors and nurses, giving them more time with patients. More complete records and faster reports and discharge summaries can also strengthen continuity of care, while hospital management gains better visibility into operations and a scalable model for adding AI over time.

“As healthcare continues to evolve, the focus must be on adopting technology that meaningfully supports clinical teams and improves hospital operations,” said Dr. Anup Warrier, Group Chief of Medical Services, Baby Memorial Hospitals. He added that the group’s priority is to ensure the technology works alongside existing systems and supports its healthcare professionals in delivering efficient, patient-centred care.

Rama Krishna Boya, Co-Founder and CEO of DeepInfinity.AI, said a single partner that understands a hospital’s clinicians, operations and management can deliver AI “faster, more safely and at lower cost than a patchwork of point solutions,” and expressed hope that the model becomes a blueprint for hospitals across India.

Harjinder Kang, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, said the MoU shows how UK AI expertise and Indian healthcare leadership can work together to support responsible innovation and create new avenues for collaboration between the two countries.

Why it matters

Indian hospitals have so far largely adopted AI through isolated pilots, a radiology tool here, a transcription app there, each with its own integration, contract and governance. BMH’s single-partner model tests whether consolidating these efforts can speed up adoption while keeping clinical oversight, interoperability and measurable outcomes at the centre. If it works at the scale of a multi-state, 2,800-bed network, it could offer a template for other mid-sized hospital groups planning their AI roadmaps.
