Careers

Inappropriate lifestyle behaviours and medication non-adherence significantly contribute to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Existing interventions are often generic and fail to account for cultural, behavioural, and individual variability. Tailored strategies integrating real-time patient data and contextual factors are needed to improve adherence and outcomes. Emerging third-generation prescriptions that combine artificial intelligence, wearable inputs, patient outcomes, and clinical guidelines offer a promising solution. However, literature indicates that such integrated, precision-based adherence tools are not yet available in India. This represents a critical gap in implementing personalized NCD management strategies.

Hence, we propose a culturally specific, innovative third-generation lifestyle and medication-adherence prescription for precision NCD medicine in India. This multimodal, data-driven approach is unprecedented in the Indian context.
