In India culturally, we follow sick care as it is driven out of fear, not preventive primary care. We generally do not visit hospitals and get our regular tests done until a Doctor has advised to further investigate our symptoms. Sometimes we keep delaying our visit to hospitals until the disease has taken over and symptoms are prevalent.
But in the past few years India’s disease profile has changed drastically from communicable to non-communicable diseases, as NCDs account for over 60% of deaths in India. This change has compelled the Indian healthcare system to magnify its focus on preventive health care not just to maximize the health but also to spread the reach to cover a large section of people. Preventive Services help in detecting a disease especially NCDs and aids in preventing the illness or other health issues.
To prioritize the NCDs and bring preventive healthcare mindset, it is important that we encourage global involvement, promote lifestyle medicine especially among youth level. To fasten this process and make preventive healthcare smarter, we need to tap the technological shifts in healthcare and form public-private partnerships.
For over a decade, shifts in technology are disrupting the healthcare sector. With the increasing adoption of digital in every aspect of life, the healthcare system is also redefining itself to empower patients and people to self-manage health.
Innovation in health care has been amazing so far whether it is primary health vitals monitoring devices or apps, digital health wearables all have tried to tackle primary health through monitoring. But these innovations failed to tackle simple lifestyle and behavioural health disorders. A simple reason is the packaging and delivery of these innovations are often ineffective, costly and consumer-unfriendly. Furthermore, these innovations fail to provide adequate health data for a person knowing that they have met their health goal or what they should continue to keep health on track and also how authentic are some of the proprietary metrics established by vendors.

This will give all an easy to use the connected platform to ensure the health information is handled with adequacy to solve some of the day-to-day health-related problems, be it better quality care, prevention of disease before its onset, better insurance deals and much more.
During this COVID 19 pandemic, we all witnessed that small steps to primary care and behavioural health management led to a decline in total visits to the hospitals. These declines reflect preventive health management can not just help individuals to stay healthy but can help increase the productivity and reach of frontline health caregivers. Further with Technology infusion to the health system, some of the greatest concerns of India health care can be resolved.
