Cardiovascular-related deaths continue to be a cause for concern in India. More people die of heart diseases than respiratory diseases, tuberculosis, and cancer put together.
The partnership with Paras Hospitals is the right step forward to address the growing concern with regard to heart disease, and deliver cardiac solutions that are real-time and preventive in nature. A life saved from cardiovascular diseases is a family saved.
Speaking on the partnership, Dr. D.K. Jhamb, Director & HOD, Cardiology, Paras Hospitals, Gurgaon said, "We are delighted to partner with Cardiotrack to reach out to a wide spectrum of population in Gurgaon and surrounding areas. By providing them with excellent preventive cardiac care we are working hard to ensure that the number of cardiovascular deaths is brought down."
Paras Hospitals, Gurgaon has consistently noticed a steady rate of increase in the number of patients with heart problems in the scans that are done across their different hospitals. And the hospital chain is looking to reverse this worrying trend.
Cardiotrack will be deployed across all Paras centres. The hand-held IoT device that is driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) will capture clinical grade ECG data using cutting-edge technology and ensure data portability through smart android-based devices.
Ashim Roy, Co-Founder and CEO, Cardiotrack said, “Heart diseases continue to be one of the main causes of death, globally and across age groups. 50% of these deaths can be averted if the delay in seeking the right medical advice is reduced. The best way to achieve this is preventive care and early diagnosis. We at Cardiotrack, pride ourselves on providing accurate and timely diagnosis for all cardiac related issues.
