Kartavya’s CEO Mr. Vikram Srivastava said “Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory diseases is increasing rapidly across the country, it account to 53% of all deaths inIndia. Healthcare industry in the country is providing organised cure but was lacking organised care. There is continuous gap in chronic care and lifestyle conditions awareness, screening and behavioral modification. In order to control over the chronic diseases, we at Kartavya brought this concept of remote controlled disease management/patient management, which is certainly picking up in India. This is because access to information and disease awareness is very low and healthcare cost rising day by day.”
