In November 2016, the Telangana Government signed an MOU with Microsoft India. Under the MoU, Microsoft India conducted a cloud-based, advanced analytics pilot project to understand the health screening program of school students carried out by mobile health teams. The pilot project helped the government to unlock actionable insights by highlighting major health conditions out of which vision impairment was the most prevalent health issues among children. The government adopted Microsoft Intelligent Network for Eyecare (MINE) to address the issue which helped to make early interventions and prevent instances of refractive errors.
In December 2016, Microsoft launched MINE (a part of Microsoft AI network for healthcare) in collaboration with L V Prasad Eye Institute (a global network of eye care providers to academic institutions). It focuses on diverse datasets of patients across geographies to come up with machine learning predictive models for vision impairment and eye diseases. The system developed by Microsoft predicts whether a LASIK, cataract or other surgery is going to be successful for a given patient or not. Also, it can predict how a patient’s refractive error is going to progress over time. 
The model was trained on a dataset of 335,799 instances from 176,037 patients aged up to 25 years to predict the progression of refractive errors for two years based on person’s medical history, eye condition, and gender.

India's first-ever Artificial Intelligence (AI) Communication Centre, known as The HexArt Institute, has been launched in Hyderabad. The centre is sponsored by the Hexagon Capability Center India (HCCI), the Indian subsidiary of the technology major Hexagon AB as their contribution to societal responsibility initiative. Hexagon AB is a global leader of Swedish origin in sensor, software and autonomous solutions. Every year, 350 students will be trained in emerging technologies at the centre.

Telangana state government has implemented the Realtime Digital Authentication of Identity (RTDAI) in authenticating pensioners. A smartphone is the only hardware requirement on the user end as fingerprints or iris images are not required. The beneficiaries have to take a photo and upload it to the exclusive app, which is offered as a part of the T App Folio – the umbrella app for Telangana's e-governance initiatives. The Pensioners Life Certificate Authentication through Selfie (PLCS) method deploys three levels of authentication: demographics (name, father’s name and address), photo and liveness. PLCS uses an artificial intelligence based liveness check solution, big data and machine learning based demographic check solution, and deep learning based image comparison solution. The AI, ML and deep learning solutions quickly check the details submitted by the user with the information piled up in public data systems.The AI tools can address challenges such as identifying old pictures in the data base from the latest photos of users as the system can detect the changes happened in faces over a period of time. Similarly with the names, the AI-enabled system can match names even with minor variation in spellings as it checks other parameters in the data, such as address or father's name. The success rate in authentication of pensioners is about 93 per cent, and it can be as high as 96-98 per cent as the system learns and improves over time.

The German Development Cooperation initiative FAIR Forward has started a tender process on "Collection of Geospatial Field Data & Organization of Data Challenges for an AI-driven Open-Source Crop Map of Telangana”.
