Lupin Digital Health Launches Home-Based Post-Procedure Care Guide in Collaboration with ACC

The initiative, unveiled at the India Live conference in Mumbai, is based on the ACC’s ‘Home-Based Care Workbook’ and developed by LDH alongside a specialized workgroup from ACC.

Lupin Digital Health (LDH), in partnership with the American College of Cardiology (ACC), has introduced a comprehensive home-based post-procedure care guide to improve patient recovery. 

The initiative, unveiled at the India Live conference in Mumbai, is based on the ACC’s ‘Home-Based Care Workbook’ and developed by LDH alongside a specialized workgroup from ACC.

The newly launched guides provide structured information for patients recovering from cardiac procedures, including heart failure (HF), arrhythmia, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Developed by leading cardiologists, Dr JPS Sawhney, Dr Prafulla Kerkar, Dr. Harikrishnan, and Dr Aditya Kapoor—along with Dr Chetan Gharat, these resources are designed to assist both patients and caregivers in managing recovery, recognizing complications, adhering to prescribed medications, making lifestyle adjustments, and accessing rehabilitation support.

Rajeev Sibal, president of Lupin’s India region formulations, emphasized the role of informed care, stating, "At Lupin, we believe empowering patients with the right knowledge is crucial for better health outcomes. In partnership with the American College of Cardiology, this initiative by Lupin Digital Health provides structured guidance that simplifies recovery and enhances post-procedure care at home."

Addressing the Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases

With cardiovascular diseases on the rise, structured post-procedure care is increasingly vital. Sidharth Srinivasan, CEO of Lupin Digital Health, highlighted this concern, saying, "With the rising burden of cardiovascular diseases, improving home-based care is no longer optional—it is essential. These guides, developed in collaboration with leading cardiologists, offer patients the support they need to confidently navigate recovery, reducing hospital readmissions and ensuring a smoother transition from hospital to home."

Senior interventional cardiologist Dr Prafulla Kerkar underscored the importance of structured recovery, stating, "The transition from hospital to home can be a vulnerable period for cardiac patients. We can significantly improve their overall quality of life and reduce complications by equipping them with clear, actionable guidance."

Additionally, Dr Harikrishnan, HOD cardiology at Sri Chitra Tirunal Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, emphasized the need for digital interventions, noting, "With heart failure rates rising at an alarming pace in India, leveraging digital infrastructure for specialized care is an urgent necessity. This collaboration enables early symptom detection, optimized medication management, and improved patient outcomes."
