AI Powered Blood Test
India’s First Blood Test with No Needle and No Vial
For most people, blood tests cause discomfort, often described as a prick or slight sting. This sensation is often described as a quick prick or scratch when the needle enters the vein.
In a big jump for medical science in India, Niloufer Government Hospital in Hyderabad Telangana has introduced the country’s first AI powered non invasive blood testing device . This means blood tests can now be done without using needles. thanks to advanced technology or thanks to AI – Artificial Intelligence.
The new testing system is part of the ‘Amrit Swasthya Bharat’ program and uses a special method called PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG). It works by simply scanning a person’s face with a smartphone or tablet camera— no blood samples or pricks needed.

Expectations
The launch of this AI-based blood test at Niloufer Hospital could change how diagnostic healthcare works in India. With no needles, faster results and smart technology. This tool may soon be used across the nation to help millions get better care with less discomfort.
What makes this AI Powered blood test special?
The technology behind this innovation is based on how light passes through the skin. By studying the light patterns it reads health signs and gives a full body check-up in seconds.
Health information the device can detect, are
- Blood Pressure (BP)
- Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
- Heart Rate
- Respiration Rate
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
- Stress Levels
- Hemoglobin
- Pulse Respiratory Quotient (PRQ)
- Activity of Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems
Process involved: Basically these results are shown in under a minute just by looking into a screen connected to a mobile phone and LED light system for about 30–40 seconds.
Launch event at Niloufer Hospital
The device was officially launched by Dr. Ravi Kumar the Superintendent of Niloufer Hospital. Several other top health professionals and leaders were also present during the launch event
- Dr. Lalu Prasad Rathod
- Dr. Vijayakumar
- Dr. Madhavi
- Prof. Dr. Santosh Kumar Kraleti (Sushena Health Foundation)
- Karuna Gopal (BJP National Leader & President, Foundation for Futuristic Cities)
- Harish Bisam (Founder of Quick Vitals)
A boon for newborns and mothers
The team behind this development hopes that it can help make healthcare easier, faster and more comfortable for everyone especially for newborns and mothers who usually need blood tests multiple times.
How the device works
PPG-based systems do not require any physical contact. Just a simple face scan gets all the necessary details. For patients who require long term monitoring, wearable PPG sensors are also available.
Steps to use the AI Blood test device
This easy process saves time, reduces discomfort and even removes the fear of needle based tests.
- Patients need to stand or sit in front of the device camera.
- Then look at the screen for 30–40 seconds.
- And can receive a full health report within minutes.
Trial phase and future plans
(i). Dr. Ravi Kumar announced that initially tests will first be done on 1,000 children over the next two months. All results will be studied in detail to make sure the system is accurate and reliable.
(ii). If studies get fruitful or successful, the Niloufer Government hospital plans to suggest this system be used in other government hospitals across Telangana.
(iii). BJP leader Karuna Gopal shared her views on social media, stating that this non-invasive testing technology can be a game changer for public health especially for infants and expecting mothers.
(iv). As the program progresses, its success will depend on how well the testing results perform and how quickly other hospitals are able to adopt the new system.
Why this matters for India
Traditional blood tests can be slow, painful and even expensive. This new method offers a pain-free, fast and affordable alternative.
It also allows for quicker decisions in emergencies and better long term tracking of chronic conditions.
With this move Niloufer Hospital is leading the way toward a future where regular health check ups become more accessible even in remote areas where lab facilities are limited or not available.
