Lupin Digital Health planning India's largest study on impact of digital therapeutics on cardiac rehab

Lupin Digital Health planning India's largest study on impact of digital therapeutics on cardiac rehab | Healthcare in India | Scoop.it

The CEO, of Lupin Digital Health, Sidharth Srinivasan, spoke with ETHealthworld. about how the perception of cardiac rehab is witnessing a significant shift. He spoke about the major insights and adoption trends registered over one year since the launch of their digital therapeutic platform Lupin's Lyfe. 

 

Summarizing their talk, he mentioned that the program has grown in 3 ways:

 

1. the acceptance of digital interventions has increased in the cardiology community. Over 700 cardiologists across 20 cities actively prescribe Lupin’s LYFE, our digital therapeutics, and more than 90 per cent of patients are satisfied with the service.

 

2.  conducted and published real-world evidence studies, including two trials and two consensus statements.

 

3. LDH has been able to reach out to patients, with around 5000 patients signing up for months of rehab.

 

His comments also shed light on some of their plans for the the future which included plans to conduct India's largest digital therapeutic study, involving around 1000 patients, to comprehensively showcase the impact of digital therapeutics on cardiac rehab.

 

He mentioned that Lupin was actively utilising technology to simplify backend processes, among which was the use of AI to analyse patient reports.

nrip's insight:

Digital health in India is increasing. But this specific case interested me a lot as its about the use of Digital Health via a pharmaceutical company within India. That's a big change from years ago. I still think there is a long way to go. They still seem to be thinking of Digital as primarily a marketing medium or an enable-ment engine rather than a way of practicing healthcare. But the wheels seem to be moving forward.

AI algorithm that can detect the presence of COVID-19 disease in Chest X Rays

AI algorithm that can detect the presence of COVID-19 disease in Chest X Rays | Healthcare in India | Scoop.it

“ATMAN AI”, an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that can detect the presence of COVID-19 disease in Chest X Rays, has been developed to combat COVID fatalities involving lung. ATMAN AI is used for chest X-ray screening as a triaging tool in Covid-19 diagnosis, a method for rapid identification and assessment of lung involvement. This is a joint effort of the DRDO Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), 5C Network & HCG Academics. This will be utilized by online diagnostic startup 5C Network with support of HCG Academics across India.

 

Triaging COVID suspect patients using X Ray is fast, cost effective and efficient. It can be a very useful tool especially in smaller towns in India owing to lack of easy access to CT scans there.

 

This will also reduce the existing burden on radiologists and make CT machines which are being used for COVID be used for other diseases and illness owing to overload for CT scans.

 

The novel feature namely “Believable AI” along with existing ResNet models have improved the accuracy of the software and being a machine learning tool, the accuracy will improve continually.

 

Chest X-Rays of RT-PCR positive hospitalized patients in various stages of disease involvement were retrospectively analysed using Deep Learning & Convolutional Neural Network models by an indigenously developed deep learning application by CAIR-DRDO for COVID -19 screening using digital chest X-Rays. The algorithm showed an accuracy of 96.73%.

nrip's insight:

Utilizing algorithms for chest X-ray is an effective triaging tool. Once perfected these can accessible by people in remote areas. Thus offering significant improvements in the care process as encountered in rural and remote areas.

 

Similar methods are being used/experimented on by a variety of labs and digital health companies, for predominant respiratory diseases.

 

Plus91 has developed similar technology for different Pneumonia and TB.
