World Heart Day highlights the urgent need for proactive heart health management and this partnership addresses a critical need in India's healthcare landscape.

With heart disease being a leading cause of death in India, early detection is crucial. Our partnership with Philips integrates cutting-edge HeartPrint technology into our platform, revolutionising preventive cardiac care. This collaboration doesn't just add a feature—it transforms how Indians approach heart health. By providing accessible, advanced tools for cardiac tracking, on the MediBuddy platform accessible through any smart phone we're enabling millions to take control of their heart health, fostering earlier detection and better outcomes for a healthier nation.”
