Lupin Digital Health launches 'first-of-its-kind' digital heart failure clinic in India

The LyfeTM Digital Heart Failure Clinic has been developed to "address the growing burden on healthcare infrastructure", as it combines in-clinic consultation with at-home patient monitoring and care, the company noted.

Under the e-clinic module, a team of experts, including paramedics, nurses, cardiotherapists, health coaches and care managers, will work together with the treating cardiologist to deliver improved patient health outcomes, LDH added.

"Our solution combines AI-guided software and FDA/CE-approved devices to provide clinically actionable alerts and insights," Rajeev Sibal, President – India Region Formulations, Lupin said, adding that the company would want to "partner with every cardiologist in India, augmenting them with a multidisciplinary team of experts to help them better manage their heart failure patients".

LDH CEO Sidharth Srinivasan said the initial results of the e-clinic initiative "have been encouraging, with 88 percent compliance, improved biovitals, and reduced re-hospitalisation". The company intends to make this solution "accessible to as many patients as possible through collaborations with cardiologists and hospitals", he added.

The release further pointed out that LDH had recently partnered with the American College of Cardiology (ACC), allowing the company to leverage ACC's patient education resources, guidance on care pathways, and clinical inputs.
