The last decade has seen a transition of disease burden in India from Communicable to Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs). People with chronic conditions generally use more healthcare services, including physician visits, hospital care, and prescription drugs. This rapid increase in the number of people living longer with chronic conditions coupled with rising healthcare expenditures has spurred health plans, employers, and the government to look for ways to reduce healthcare use and costs.

Condition management programs are one of the approaches that aim to provide better care while reducing the costs for the chronically ill. They are designed to improve the health of people with specific chronic conditions and to reduce healthcare service use and costs associated with avoidable complications, such as emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Apollo now supports the patient with the management of his chronic condition for NCDs like Diabetes, Asthma, among others.

Through Apollo’s remote management programs, enrolled patients receive a suite of tools that automate care plan compliance including the mobile app and wearable/non- wearable devices that are related to their particular condition (e.g., diabetes, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and high-risk pregnancy). We have therefore empowered a patient to monitor his own health daily with the help of easy to use digital health devices which are remotely monitored by our 24 x 7 Medical response Centre consisting of primary care physicians (dedicated only to Telemedicine). Additionally, the technology’s algorithms monitor the patient and run analyses on real-time data to identify intervention opportunities before patients are on a path to hospitalization.
