Lupin Digital Health Partners with Medicover Hospitals to Transform Cardiac Care in India
Lupin Digital Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of global pharmaceutical major Lupin Limited, has teamed with Medicover Hospitals to provide cutting-edge post-operative rehabilitation for cardiac patients. This groundbreaking partnership uses Lupin's innovative Digital Therapeutics (DTx) platform, Lyfe, to provide personalized at-home care with the goal of improving recovery and medication adherence.
Medicover facilities, a renowned healthcare provider with a strong presence in Europe and India, plans to integrate the Lyfe platform across its network of 23 facilities in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka.

Lyfe, certified as a Class C medical device by India's CDSCO, provides seamless monitoring and engagement with medical teams, resulting in improved health outcomes. The platform has the potential to transform how patients receive care following cardiac events by assisting them in adhering to treatment programs and communicating consistently with healthcare providers.

This would provide personalized care to cardiac patients, dramatically boosting their recovery and adherence to treatment recommendations."
Sidharth Srinivasan, CEO of Lupin Digital Health, stressed the significance of this relationship, noting, "The post-discharge period of cardiac rehab has historically been difficult, with many patients experiencing gaps in care. Medicover has taken a proactive step by forming this relationship to ensure that patients across India receive the ongoing support they require. This is crucial in addressing patient non-adherence.
Dr. Sharath Reddy, Executive Director and Senior Interventional Cardiologist at Medicover Group of Hospitals, underlined the initiative's benefits: "Through our relationship with Lyfe by Lupin Digital Health, we hope to expand comprehensive in-home cardiovascular care.
