TatvaCare explores digital therapeutics for COPD and asthma management in India

Commences clinical trials of ‘MyTatva’ across India with leading pulmonologists

With over 30 million people in India suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, there is a critical unmet need to look at new gen technologies to manage the chronic disease conditions and improve the quality of life of patients. 

Ahmedabad-based startup TatvaCare, which specialises in cutting-edge technological advancements in healthcare, has created a novel, digital therapeutics (DTx) platform MyTatva which aims to bridge this need.

TatvaCare will be commencing clinical trials to test the application at various centres across India. More than 150-200 subjects will be randomly tested to gauge the user efficacy and advantages.

Based on the outcomes of the trial, TatvaCare will launch this first-of-its-kind digital therapeutics solution in India for COPD and Asthma management. The market for digital health applications in India is valued at $3.8 billion, estimated to jump to $18 billion by 2030 with TatvaCare being one of the early entrants in this highly specialised domain.

A panel of distinguished pulmonologists from across India will be overseeing the study under the leadership of Dr Agam Vora, a renowned pulmonologist from Mumbai. Named as BREATHE DTx, the study will be conducted across 8 centres in India. 

Spanning 6 months, the Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) will provide a comprehensive assessment of MyTatva's effectiveness from the real-world evidence gathered.
