Lupin Digital Health, India’s first evidence-based cardiology digital therapeutics (DTx) platform and the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the global scientific leader in the practice of Cardiology, today announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration to deliver in-home cardiovascular care with Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in India.

India is grappling with a staggering burden of cardiovascular disease, predicted to have the highest number of cardiac deaths globally by 2030.

Lupin Digital Health becomes the first Digital Therapeutics player in India to exclusively collaborate with ACC and provide comprehensive heart care. As part of this collaboration, Lupin Digital Health will leverage ACC’s CardioSmart platform, guidelines, and workbooks to guide healthcare professionals and caregivers. These tools will be accessible to doctors, patients, and caregivers through Lupin Digital Health’s Lyfe app and website, lyfe.in.
“This collaboration with Lupin Digital Health reflects our commitment to advancing equitable cardiovascular care globally and demonstrates how innovative collaborations can deliver transformative outcomes for patients in India,” stated ACC Chief Innovation Officer Ami B. Bhatt, MD, FACC.
“India’s vast talent pool and widespread adoption of smartphone-based technology present immense potential for leveraging Digital Therapeutics. Our focus is on delivering practical solutions that empower doctors to provide superior patient care. Through our collaboration with ACC, we aim to revolutionize the management of heart disease in India, enabling healthcare professionals and caregivers to provide effective care to patients outside of hospitals,” stated Rajeev Sibal, President – India Region Formulations, Lupin Limited.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the advancement of Digital Therapeutics in the field of cardiology in India.”
