India’s Apollo Hospitals, the Apollo University, and the University of Leicester have launched a global Centre for Digital Health and Precision Medicine (CDHPM).

The CDHPM India hub opened at the Apollo University campus in Chittoor, where the centre’s headquarters will be based. Another facility will be located at the BHF Cardiovascular Research Centre at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester.

The centre will focus on three key areas, particularly cardiovascular diseases, acute and emergency medicine, and multi-morbidity.

The expected outcomes include better disease prediction and prevention, as well as improved early detection, diagnosis, and management of both acute and long-term conditions in hospital and community settings.
