MediBuddy and Philips Join Hands to bring advanced heart health tracking

MediBuddy, the biggest digital healthcare platform in India, has partnered with Philips, a global leader in health technology, to transform preventive healthcare in India. For World Heart Day on September 29, the collaboration will provide heart early warning signs detection with Philips HeartPrint.

MediBuddy is dedicated to ensuring that all Indians have access to top-notch healthcare by incorporating cutting-edge AI-based longitudinal triaging on their smartphone.

While ECGs evaluate the heart's present condition, the Philips HeartPrint acts as a continuous monitoring tool that can predict potential future risks and monitor the progression of heart health over time. This proactive method of managing heart health in India could revolutionize cardiac care by allowing for early intervention and personalized health plans.

Satish Kannan, co-founder and CEO, MediBuddy, said, "Our partnership with Philips integrates cutting-edge HeartPrint technology into our platform, revolutionising preventive cardiac care. 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.”

By simply scanning their finger using their smartphone's camera through the MediBuddy mobile application, users can track key biomarkers that indicate their risk of heart disease, overall health deterioration, heart resilience, and changes in heart function over time, he said.
