Empowering the future of healthcare through patient-centered innovation: The shift from reactive to proactive

A decade ago, managing chronic cardiac conditions like heart failure was primarily reactive. Patients relied on sporadic clinic visits and manual symptom tracking, often missing critical early warning signs. Clinicians, too, faced limitations as fragmented data offered only isolated snapshots of patient health, and failed to convey the full picture of disease progression. Without continuous monitoring, key indicators like arrhythmias often went unnoticed, delaying timely interventions. Chronic illnesses like heart failure were treated episodically rather than as the continuously evolving conditions they are. We now see a seismic shift in India’s healthcare landscape, driven by its vast population, socioeconomic diversity, and the dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases
