The Government of Assam has teamed up with Tricog Health to introduce the groundbreaking Heart Health Management (STEMI) program. This collaborative initiative aims to revolutionize preventive cardiac care across Assam, signaling a significant stride towards combating heart-related ailments. The STEMI program adopts a pioneering Hub and Spoke model, prioritizing swift diagnosis and treatment of severe heart cases throughout the state. This innovative approach underscores the government’s commitment to proactive healthcare management, addressing the urgent need for improved cardiac health services.
Following a successful pilot implementation study in ten selected health facilities within Kamrup Metropolitan district, Dr. Pranab Jyoti Bhattacharya, Head of Cardiology at Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), expressed enthusiasm about the program’s potential to reach even the most remote areas of Assam. Cardiovascular diseases remain a pressing global health concern, with Assam grappling with its own share of challenges. According to the 2018 Assam State Health Profile, CVDs accounted for a significant portion of deaths in the state, highlighting the critical need for interventions like the Heart Health Management Program.
The program’s impact is already evident, with a 46-year-old female beneficiary receiving prompt diagnosis and specialized care after suffering a severe heart attack at Sonapur District Hospital. Leveraging Tricog Health’s cutting-edge technology, the program ensures rapid detection and timely intervention, significantly improving patient outcomes. The Heart Health Management program leverages Tricog Health’s advanced technology, enabling quick detection through cloud-connected 12 Lead ECGs and round-the-clock interpretation by medical experts. This digital platform facilitates seamless care coordination and data analytics, enhancing the efficiency of cardiac care services.
