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

Lupin Digital Health (LDH), an arm of pharmaceutical major Lupin, on August 7 announced the launch of LyfeTM Digital Heart Failure Clinic, which it described as a "first-of-its-kind" digital heart failure clinic in India.

Heart failure, according to LDH, affects over 10 million Indians, and is one of the leading cause of cardiac deaths in the country.

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.

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.
