About TANUH

TANUH is an AI Centre of Excellence in Healthcare at IISc Bengaluru, funded by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. We develop and deploy AI-enabled screening tools for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)—currently covering oral cancer, breast cancer, gestational diabetes, and renal and vascular diseases. Designed to be used by frontline health workers (FLWs) in rural and remote settings without requiring specialist clinical presence, our tools bridge critical gaps in healthcare access. We are now seeking implementation partners to deploy these tools at population scale.

- Support development of job descriptions, sourcing strategies, interview processes and recruitment-related best practices.
