Gurugram : The Indian Medical Association (IMA) Gurgaon, along with six other prominent medical associations, has come together with UN:BLOC to explore the integration of its technology into clinical practice. The associations convened at Clinicians of the Future, a conference hosted by UN:BLOC at Aurum Convention & Resort in Gurugram, bringing together senior medical professionals across specialities to discuss how AI and emerging technologies are shaping the future of healthcare and the role of clinicians.
More than 200 doctors from different specialities gathered to deepen their understanding of AI and its applications in clinical practice, alongside senior representatives from IMA Gurgaon, Association of Physicians of India (API) Gurgaon, Gurgaon Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society (GOGS), Gurgaon Nursing Home and Diagnostic Association (GNHDA), Menopause Society Gurgaon, Association of Surgeons of India (ASI), Gurgaon City Branch, and the Surgical Society of India. Unlike conventional specialty-specific CME programmes, the conference brought clinicians from different disciplines together to exchange perspectives on technology, clinical practice and patient care.
Speaking at the event, Dr Sushil Khurana, Senior General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), PGI Rohtak, said: “In more than fifty years of practice, I have seen that a patient’s history is what gives every test result its meaning. But today doctors hardly have the time to take a full history, and patients rarely get the time to tell it. That is where UN:BLOC can help. By organising the patient’s history and records into one clear picture, it lets the doctor spend the consultation understanding the patient, not piecing the story together. The tools we use may change, but we must first understand the patient.”
Dr Ashok Taneja, Senior Consultant Cardiologist, Diabetologist and Physician, and President-Elect, National API (2026), said: “Clinical information is growing faster than any one doctor can comfortably process. A patient may walk in with a long history, several reports and opinions from other doctors, and bringing all of that together in a short consultation is difficult. UN:BLOC organises it into one picture the physician can review, so the doctor can focus on interpretation and the next steps. The decision always stays with the doctor. Calculators, computers and digital payments all felt strange at first. Clinical AI, adopted thoughtfully and evaluated rigorously, can be the next useful tool.”
