Digital Health Technology in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation

Alben Sigamani, Rajeev Gupta, Pallav Singh

Cardiovascular diseases remain the number one cause of mortality across the world. Nearly 80% of the global cardiovascular-related deaths happen in developing countries. Modifiable risk factors for a cardiovascular event are common knowledge. Implementing a continuous care model that modifies these risk factors is nearly impossible with current healthcare delivery models. Non-therapeutic interventions are more easily adapted with constant nudging, regular feedback, and simple strategies to overcome perceived barriers to living a healthy lifestyle.Numen Health is a digital health platform that provides a practicing cardiovascular disease physician or surgeon with an extended multidisciplinary team to deliver multifaceted interventions. All the interventions target reducing risk factors that cause cardiovascular event and the whole program focuses on lowering mortality, re-hospitalization, and improved quality of life for survivors.
