This expands Wellthy’s effort towards effective disease management for more than 528 million Hindi speakers, 43 million Kannada speakers
Wellthy Therapeutics recently announced the launch of its digital therapeutics in diabetes and cardiovascular conditions in Hindi and Kannada, furthering its effort towards effective disease management for more than 528 million Hindi speakers and more than 43 million native Kannada speakers in India.
Wellthy Therapeutics’ mission is to inspire and enable 10 million patients to reverse, prevent or control their chronic condition in the next decade. Requested by patients and physicians alike, and driven by the data seen through extensive patient interventions and research, the launch of native-Hindi and native-Kannada services is the next step to bring Wellthy Care’s outcome focussed digital therapeutic interventions to a much wider pool of chronic disease patients in India.
Speaking on the occasion, Abhishek Shah, CEO and Co-Founder, Wellthy Therapeutics, said, “Delivering population health outcomes using digital therapeutics allows us the unique privilege of designing for patient first. While incredible strides have and will continue to be made on our therapeutic capability in diabetes and cardiology, we have embarked on a powerful journey using the native language. Expanding our Made in India effort to Made for Bharat, we continue our march towards empowering and enabling patients to manage their chronic conditions better, by meeting users’ needs in their cultural setting, in their language of choice.”
