Lupin Digital Health launches Post-Procedure Home-Based Care Guide in collaboration with ACC

At India Live, an annual gathering of interventional cardiologists from the Asia-Pacific region, Lupin Digital Health (LDH) launched its Post-Procedure Home-Based Care Guide. The event took place at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The guide is based on the American College of Cardiology (ACC)’s Home-Based Care Workbook and has been developed by LDH in collaboration with an ACC workgroup.

The guide, co-authored by cardiologists Dr JPS Sawhney, Dr Prafulla Kerkar, Dr Harikrishnan, Dr Aditya Kapoor, and Dr Chetan Gharat, provides structured information for patients recovering from procedures such as Heart Failure (HF), Arrhythmia, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). It includes guidance on recovery, potential complications, medication management, lifestyle adjustments, and access to cardiac rehabilitation resources.

Rajeev Sibal, President – India Region Formulations, Lupin, highlighted the importance of patient education, stating, “At Lupin, we believe empowering patients with the right knowledge is crucial for better health outcomes. This initiative by Lupin Digital Health, in partnership with the American College of Cardiology, provides structured guidance that simplifies recovery and enhances post-procedure care at home.”

Sidharth Srinivasan, CEO, Lupin Digital Health, addressed the rising burden of cardiovascular diseases, stating, “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 navigate recovery with confidence, reducing hospital readmissions and ensuring a smoother transition from hospital to home.”

Dr Prafulla Kerkar, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai, underscored the importance of structured recovery, noting, “The transition from hospital to home can be a vulnerable period for cardiac patients. By equipping them with clear, actionable guidance, we can significantly improve their overall quality of life and reduce complications.”

Dr Harikrishnan, HOD Cardiology, Sri Chitra Tirunal Institute, Trivandrum, emphasised the role of digital solutions in cardiac care, stating, “With heart failure rates rising at an alarming pace in India, leveraging digital infrastructure for specialised care is an urgent necessity. This collaboration enables early symptom detection, optimised medication management, and improved patient outcomes.”

This initiative reinforces Lupin Digital Health’s focus on delivering evidence-based resources to support patient recovery and improve long-term health outcomes.
