Monoranjan Biswas: India, Russia and China Can Work Together to Improve Quality of Life Across the Global South
The Global Digital Forum in Moscow brought together IT industry representatives and experts from 120 countries. Together, they discussed the development of digital services and how to make them more accessible to users.
IT Russia, a media platform, spoke with Monoranjan Biswas, a representative of an Indian company that develops health apps, about how mobile technology can help people monitor their health and what role international cooperation can play.
– I represent a company that develops apps for health and well-being. We are working on our product, but we still lack the funding to complete the project. If everything goes well and we find investors, I think the app could be ready within two years.
It will work with wearable devices, such as smartphones and wristwatches, and provide information about users’ health and various bodily indicators. Essentially, it is a preventive health tool. It will not replace a doctor, but it will help users monitor their health and access the information they need.
We hope the app will become popular and attract a large number of users. In turn, wider adoption could have a positive effect on public health.
I am very glad to have the opportunity to take part in this forum. It is an excellent platform for bringing together representatives of countries across the Global South. I believe India, Russia and China can pool their efforts to improve people’s lives in Asia and Africa, where poverty and a lack of access to medical care remain pressing problems. Forums like this help participants explore ways to address these challenges.
I believe Russia should become one of the global leaders in innovation, particularly in artificial intelligence. That is one of my main hopes.
I would also like to point out that Russia has helped countries and people across the Global South since the Soviet era. That assistance was valued because many other countries, including the United States and other Western nations, did not provide it. I believe cooperation among Russia, India and China is significant in its own right. By working together, these countries can give people what they need, including better education and a higher standard of living. The key is for them to act together. If they do, they can succeed.”
