Cardiovascular care with Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in India

India is grappling with a staggering burden of cardiovascular disease, predicted to have the highest number of cardiac deaths globally by 2030. As per the Indian Heart Association, heart diseases disproportionately affect Indians at a younger age, often without warning. Studies highlight that Indians suffer from heart ailments at least a decade earlier than their Western counterparts, underscoring the urgent need for preventive and comprehensive care.

This collaboration signifies a monumental leap in transforming cardiac care in India. Lupin Digital Health becomes the first Digital Therapeutics player in India to exclusively collaborate with ACC and provide comprehensive heart care. As part of this collaboration, Lupin Digital Health will leverage ACC’s CardioSmart platform, guidelines, and workbooks to guide healthcare professionals and caregivers. These tools will be accessible to doctors, patients, and caregivers through Lupin Digital Health's Lyfe app and website, lyfe.in
