IIT Madras and CMC build AI to catch kidney disease early

AI kidney disease detection is moving closer to the clinic. Researchers at IIT Madras and Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, have developed three AI-based tools designed to help identify and assess kidney conditions earlier in the care journey. Announced on September 3, 2026, the collaboration brings together machine learning, medical imaging and 3D reconstruction to give clinicians faster and more standardised information.
