News Topical, Digital Desk : When you leave the house, you monitor your home through CCTV cameras, but have you ever wondered who monitors your health after you leave the hospital? To address this major concern, India has taken a revolutionary step in the medical world.
In a world first, India has launched a unique "doctor-led" AI system that will monitor your health even when you're away from the hospital. Now, you don't need to fear your illness, as this new technology will care for you 24/7 like an "invisible doctor."
What is iLive Connect and how does it work?
EyeLive Connect is the core of this ecosystem. It's a small, wireless biosensor patch attached to a wristband worn by the patient. This device continuously records vital signs.
- This small machine performs several important tests on your body, such as:
- Heart Rate and ECG
- Breathing rate and oxygen intake
- body temperature
- blood pressure fluctuations
- Physical activity and changes in heart rate
Doctors are on duty 24 hours a day
According to Dr. Rahul Chandola, cardiosurgeon and founder of this technology, the device wirelessly transmits all patient data to a secure cloud platform. From there, this information reaches a medical command center directly. Most importantly, this command center is staffed 24 hours a day by specialist doctors who monitor the patient's health in real time.
You will get a warning before the disease occurs
This new technology is a significant advance over older machines. It uses AI-based "predictive analysis." This means the system can detect even the smallest changes in the body that could signal the onset of disease.
Dr. Chandola explains that sometimes changes begin within the body before symptoms of illness become apparent. This machine detects them, allowing doctors to begin treatment in a timely manner. This prevents the patient's condition from worsening and requiring further hospitalization.
Why was this technology needed?
It's often seen that patients aren't monitored at home after being discharged from the hospital. Dr. Chandola says that most serious medical events occur not in the hospital, but at home, when patients are unattended. iLive Connect addresses this gap. It detects a patient's deteriorating health early, allowing timely medical attention.
The study revealed surprising results
A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of this technique. Data from over 410 patients were examined over a 10-week program. The results were overwhelmingly positive:
- There was a 76 percent reduction in the need for re-hospitalization of patients.
- The risk of heart problems , blood pressure disorders and metabolic diseases has already been identified.
For whom is it most beneficial?
According to Dr. Viveka Kumar, co-founder of iLive Connect and senior interventional cardiologist, this technology is a boon for the elderly who live alone. Additionally, patients with chronic illnesses and those recently discharged from the hospital are benefiting greatly. This technology is a perfect combination of AI and physician monitoring, playing a vital role in saving lives.
