Wipro GE Healthcare has announced the launch of the Versana Premier R3, an AI-enabled ultrasound system designed to enhance clinical efficiency, streamline workflows, and improve diagnostic accuracy. The system will be manufactured at Wipro GE Healthcare’s PLI factory in Bengaluru, aligning with the Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ vision.
India’s growing population and increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) highlight the need for advanced diagnostic technologies. The Versana Premier R3 integrates artificial intelligence with automation and AI-enabled productivity tools to support clinicians in optimising dynamic tissue imaging, assisting with volume calculations, and streamlining workflows. The system also features a self-learning onboarding tool to help clinicians enhance their skills and adapt to new workflows.
Chaitanya Sarawate, Managing Director, Wipro GE Healthcare South Asia, said, “At Wipro GE Healthcare we continue to make advancements in AI, investing in foundation models that can help enhance precision care, ease clinical workflows and enable better patient outcomes. AI is central to building a future where healthcare is personalised, preventive, and affordable. The launch of our Versana Premier R3, is yet another testament to our commitment towards the delivery of ‘Made in India MedTech – for India and the world.’”
Anup Kumar, Business Head, Ultrasound, Wipro GE Healthcare, added, “We are very proud to launch the Versana Premier R3, our state-of-the-art ‘Made in India’ ultrasound system.

Powered by AI, Versana Premier R3 delivers exceptional image clarity, and versatile organ scanning, enhancing diagnostic precision, and empowering clinicians to make timely and well-informed decisions.”
A report by PwC indicates that 57 per cent of healthcare providers in India are using AI, surpassing global adoption rates. As India integrates artificial intelligence into healthcare, the Versana Premier R3 represents an advancement in diagnostic capabilities. The system’s ‘VisionBoost architecture’ and 8-million-channel digital processing deliver high image clarity, with compatibility for 23 different probes to enable dynamic organ scanning.
