Lupin Digital Health introduces Post-Procedure Home-Based Care Guide
Mumbai: Lupin Digital Health (LDH), a evidence-based Digital Therapeutics (DTx) platform, has announced the launch of its comprehensive Post-Procedure Home-Based Care Guide at India Live, an annual confluence of leading interventional cardiologists from the Asia Pacific Region, held at Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
This guide is based on the American College of Cardiology (ACC)’s ‘Home-Based Care Workbook’ and has been developed by LDH along with the workgroup constituted by the ACC. Co-authored by eminent cardiologists Dr. JPS Sawhney, Dr. Prafulla Kerkar, Dr. Harikrishnan and Dr. Aditya Kapoor along with Dr. Chetan Gharat, these user-friendly guides provide patents and caregivers with essential information and practical advice to manage post-procedure recovery at home.
"Covering conditions such as Heart Failure (HF), Arrhythmia, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), the guides help patients understand their recovery process, recognize potential complications, manage medications, make necessary lifestyle adjustments, and access cardiac rehabilitation resources," the Company stated.
Rajeev Sibal, President – India Region Formulations, Lupin, emphasised the importance of patent-centric care, stating, "At Lupin, we believe empowering patients with the right knowledge is crucial for better health outcomes. This initiative by Lupin Digital Health, in partnership with the American College of Cardiology, provides structured guidance that simplifies recovery and enhances post-procedure care at home."
Sidharth Srinivasan, CEO, Lupin Digital Health, added, "With the rising burden of cardiovascular diseases, improving home-based care is no longer optional—it is essential. These guides, developed in collaboration with leading cardiologists, offer patients the support they need to navigate recovery with confidence, reducing hospital readmissions and ensuring a smoother transition from hospital to home."
Dr. Prafulla Kerkar, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai, and Former HOD Cardiology, KEM Hospital Mumbai, stressed the importance of structured recovery, noting, "The transition from hospital to home can be a vulnerable period for cardiac patients. By equipping them with clear, actionable guidance, we can significantly improve their overall quality of life and reduce complications."
Dr. Harikrishnan, HOD Cardiology, Sri Chitra Tirunal Institute, Trivandrum, highlighted the growing need for digital solutions, stating, "With heart failure rates rising at an alarming pace in India, leveraging digital infrastructure for specialized care is an urgent necessity. This collaboration enables early symptom detection, optimized medication management, and improved patient outcomes."
