Chennai doctors launch AI platform to help 24x7 monitoring of patients outside of the hospital

In a move to expand its footprint in southern India and bolster preventive healthcare a doctorled AIenabled ecosystem offering realtime medical supervision beyond hospital settings was launched in Chennai Tamil NaduThe initiative aims to improve clinical outcomes for patients with chronic conditions preventing their escalation into serious illness and reduce the risk of sudden cardiac eventsAt the core of the ecosystem iLive Connect is a small wireless biosensor patch paired with a wearable wristband which monitors vital parameters such as heart activity and blood pressure in realtimeAs part of the system data is tracked 24x7 by experienced doctors at a remote command centre who alert patients and their families in case of any abnormalityAround 40 doctors including Dr Thillai Vallal Managing Director of Venkateswara Hospitals Dr MA Raja Director and senior consultant in Medical Oncology at MGM Healthcare Dr Amit Kumar critical care physician Dr Prashanth Krishna MD of Prashanth Group of Hospitals and Dr Manoj SivaramaKrishnan senior interventional cardiologist at Kavery Hospital were present during the launch event held at Chennai on SundayAfter Chennai the platform will gradually be launched soon in the remaining southern states as well cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon and founder of iLive Connect Dr Rahul Chandola saidIndia faces a substantial cardiovascular burden with nearly 8000 deaths reported daily due to heart disease he said An estimated 10000 to 15000 heart attacks occur every day of which 3000 to 5000 prove fatal often without prior clinical warning said Dr ChandolaHe stated that traditional symptomdriven care is increasingly proving inadequate particularly as cardiac conditions are being detected more frequently among younger and asymptomatic individualsIn response clinicians are adopting continuous cardiacmonitoring platforms such as iLive Connect which allow realtime tracking of physiological parameters and enable early identification of potential risksAccording to Dr Chandola continuous monitoring across more than 1000 patients has demonstrated the ability to detect subclinical and transient abnormalities that may be missed during conventional episodic evaluationsRealtime physiological data allows earlier recognition of cardiac instability enabling timely intervention and potentially preventing acute events he saidDr Viveka Kumar cofounder of iLive Connect and a senior cardiologist said these platforms act as an extension of clinical care beyond hospitals allowing doctors to monitor patients remotely and make datadriven decisions even in ambulatory settingsA key feature of the system is multiday heart health screening particularly useful for asymptomatic individualsThe platform enables continuous assessment over five to seven days capturing physiological data under realworld conditions integrating multiple cardiac and systemic parameters and identifying intermittent or stressinduced abnormalities Dr Kumar explainedThis approach provides a more comprehensive profile compared to singlepoint diagnostic tests and supports early risk stratification and preventive care he saidThe technology also addresses a critical gap in the postdischarge phase especially during the first two to four weeks when patients remain vulnerableContinuous monitoring during this period enables early detection of deterioration and facilitates timely clinical intervention potentially reducing readmissionsSuch systems ensure continuity of care and help minimise unrecognised complications during recovery Chandola notedBeyond cardiac care the platform is being used in the management of chronic conditions such as diabetes hypertension chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD and asthma he saidIt is also proving beneficial for geriatric patients particularly those living independently by providing ongoing physiological monitoring and access to medical support Dr Kumar saidThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
