Nagpur: Dozee, India’s leading AI-based contactless remote patient monitoring (RPM) and early warning system (EWS) provider, recently organized a symposium with renowned doctors in Nagpur to discuss the role of technology in healthcare. The symposium on “Monitoring Beyond ICU,” aimed to raise awareness about enhancing patient safety in hospitals by automating vitals monitoring beyond intensive care units.
The conference brought together seven esteemed medical practitioners and experts from
local hospitals, including Dr. Ajay Motwani, New Era Hospital, Mr. Venkateshwarlu Marapaka – HCG, Mr. Walmik Wankhede – Kingsway KIMS Hospital, Stephen Thomas, Head Admin CIIMS hospitals, Dr. Deshmukh from Nelson Hospitals and representatives from Aureus Hospitals, Meditrina Hospitals were part of the meet. The panel unanimously agreed that Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) & Early Warning System (EWS) technology is the future of patient care and holds great potential to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. They also felt that this technology can help bridge the gap between primary and tertiary care by providing real-time data to doctors. Dozee plans to continue such initiatives to promote the use of its RPM & EWS technology in hospitals across India.
India is one of the most populous countries in the world, with over 1.4 billion people. Healthcare in India is a complex and growing sector, with many challenges. One of the biggest challenges is access to quality care. In many parts of India, healthcare facilities are understaffed and lack essential resources. This results in poor quality care for patients. Additionally, there is a lack of trained healthcare workers, which further contributes to the problem. According to the 2021 NITI Aayog report, India currently has 1.3 hospital beds per 1,000 population. There is also a shortage of skilled health workers, with 0.65 physicians per 1,000 people (the World Health Organisation standard is 1 per 1,000 people) and 1.3 nurses per 1,000 people, putting immense stress on the nation’s healthcare infrastructure.
Mr. Venkateshwarlu Marapaka – HCG said, “There is a growing need to have more comprehensive and continuous monitoring of patients, not just in the ICU but also in the wards. This will help us identify deteriorating patients early and intervene accordingly. It is quite heartening to see Dozee bringing advanced technology for patients to remotely monitor their vital parameters when they have been critically ill or have the potential to get critical after getting shifted outside the ICU. The installation of such devices outside ICUs, in step-down ICUs, and in general wards across the hospital provides timely alerts and reports in case of emergencies to doctors and helps prevent the deterioration of the patient’s condition. This will provide healthcare practitioners more confidence with vital parameters of patients at their fingertips elevating a patient-centered approach. Such devices can also help people stay abroad to monitor their elderly parent’s health from afar”.
Mr. Walmik Wankhede – Kingsway KIMS Hospital,emphasized that monitoring beyond ICUs is essential for transforming healthcare in India. He noted the potential to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, ensure equal access for rural and remote areas, and enhance patient safety by reducing unexpected deteriorations and code blue events. He acknowledged the role of Dozee in enabling continuous patient monitoring, extending care beyond hospital settings, and promoting a continuum of care for patients at home.
Mudit Dandwate, CEO & Co-Founder of Dozee, reiterated the company’s commitment to making RPM and EWS accessible to all, particularly those vulnerable to critical health deterioration. He emphasized the collaborative effort with doctors and medical professionals to make a significant impact on the lives of millions. Dozee is actively developing building, and supporting healthcare providers to improve patient safety and drive the widespread adoption of technology, addressing both present and future healthcare needs.
Some of the key points that were discussed during the round table conference are as follows: 1. There is a growing need for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) & Early Warning Systems (EWS) in Indian hospitals as the number of patients in ICUs is increasing rapidly. 2. RPM & EWS can help in the early detection of critical health events and can help save lives. 3. RPM & EWS can also help reduce the length of hospital stay and the overall cost of treatment. 4. RPM & EWS are very effective tools for monitoring patients post-discharge from the hospital. 5. There is a need for more awareness about RPM & EWS among doctors and hospitals so that more patients can benefit from this technology.
The symposium served as an important platform for knowledge-sharing and emphasized the crucial role of remote patient monitoring and early warning systems in revolutionizing healthcare practices beyond the ICU. Dozee remains dedicated to furthering the adoption of RPM and EWS technology to positively impact patient care across India.
In the world of bodybuilding, achieving the perfect physique often requires immense dedication, discipline, and hard work. However, a disturbing trend has emerged in recent years, where extreme training techniques have pushed young bodybuilders to the brink of death. The pursuit of muscle mass and definition at any cost has led to serious health consequences and tragic outcomes. In this article, we will explore why these extreme training techniques are pushing bodybuilders to their untimely demise.
Steroid Abuse and Its Consequences
One of the most significant factors contributing to the premature deaths of young bodybuilders is the rampant abuse of anabolic steroids. These synthetic substances, when used in excessive amounts, can lead to severe health complications, including cardiovascular issues, liver damage, and hormonal imbalances. Young bodybuilders, desperate to accelerate their muscle growth, often turn to these dangerous substances without fully understanding the potential risks involved. The combination of intense training and steroid abuse can put an overwhelming strain on their bodies, sometimes leading to fatal outcomes.
Overtraining Syndrome and its Impact
Extreme training techniques often involve grueling workout schedules that push the limits of the human body. Many young bodybuilders adhere to punishing routines, training for hours on end, sometimes multiple times a day. This relentless pursuit of perfection can lead to a condition known as overtraining syndrome. Overtraining not only compromises physical health but also takes a toll on mental well-being. Symptoms such as chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, decreased immune function, and mood disturbances are all characteristic of this syndrome. Over time, the accumulated stress on the body weakens its defenses, leaving young bodybuilders vulnerable to illnesses and injuries that can prove fatal.
Nutritional Imbalances and Eating Disorders
In the quest for a sculpted physique, extreme dieting practices and nutritional imbalances have become commonplace. Many young bodybuilders adopt highly restrictive diets, severely limiting their caloric intake and eliminating vital nutrients. This pattern of disordered eating can lead to nutrient deficiencies, electrolyte imbalances, and impaired organ function. Additionally, the pressure to maintain an extremely low body fat percentage often leads to the development of eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia. These conditions can have severe health consequences and contribute to the premature deaths of young bodybuilders.
Psychological Stress and Body Dysmorphia
The world of bodybuilding places immense psychological pressure on individuals striving for perfection. The constant comparison to others, the need for validation, and the obsession with body image often lead to body dysmorphia, a mental disorder where individuals have a distorted perception of their appearance. Young bodybuilders may develop an unhealthy obsession with their physique, pushing themselves beyond their limits in an attempt to achieve an unattainable ideal. The psychological stress coupled with the extreme training techniques can take a severe toll on their mental health, leading to depression, anxiety, and, in some cases, even suicide.
Conclusion
The allure of a chiseled physique and the desire for success have led some young bodybuilders down a treacherous path. Extreme training techniques, combined with steroid abuse, overtraining, disordered eating, and mental health challenges, have resulted in a tragic number of premature deaths within the bodybuilding community. It is crucial to raise awareness about the dangers of these practices and promote a more balanced and sustainable approach to fitness. Prioritizing health, both physical and mental, must be the foundation upon which any pursuit of physical perfection is built. Only then can we hope to protect the lives of young bodybuilders and preserve their passion for the sport in a safe and sustainable manner.

Nagpur,30 May 2023: A leading health care service provider with a tradition of caring and innovation nurture Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur is creating awareness among people about the serious consequences of Tobacco consumption. Wockhardt Hospitals Dr. Swarup Verma as a health professional is giving important information about the consequences of Tobacco consumption . World No Tobacco Day, observed on May 31st each year, serves as an effective nudge to the detrimental effects of tobacco use and the urgent need to fight this global health issue. World Health Organization (WHO), aims to raise awareness about the harmful consequences of tobacco consumption and advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco use worldwide. Dr. Swarup Verma said,“ As a public health professional, I strongly believe in the significance of this day and the crucial role it plays in promoting
a tobacco-free future.”This year’s theme is ” We need food No Tobacco”
He also added Tobacco use remains one of the leading causes of preventable deaths worldwide. It not only harms individuals who smoke or use tobacco products but also affects non-smokers through passive smoke exposure which is worrisome.
According to the WHO, tobacco kills more than 8 million people annually, with over 7 million of these deaths being attributed to direct tobacco use and around 1.2 million resulting from exposure to secondhand smoke.
Health Consequences:
Tobacco use is linked to devastating health conditions, including cancer, Heart attacks, Stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory infections. It diminishes the overall quality of life for both smokers and non-smokers. Furthermore, smoking during pregnancy has severe implications for the health of both the mother
and the unborn child, increasing the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and other complications.
Targeting Youth:
Dr. Swarup Verma showed concern about the rising tobacco unepidemic in young people. The tobacco industry consistently targets youth through aggressive marketing strategies. Even on local levels youth have an attraction for hookah parlors which is a more dangerous form of tobacco.
This deliberate manipulation undermines public health efforts to prevent tobacco initiation and fosters addiction among vulnerable populations. World No Tobacco Day serves as an opportunity to empower young people with knowledge about the dangers of tobacco and to advocate for measures that protect them from the influence of tobacco companies.
Effective Interventions:
Dr Swarup Verma pointed the observance of World No Tobacco Day which encourages governments, organizations, and individuals to prioritize tobacco control and implement evidence-based interventions. These interventions include comprehensive tobacco control policies, such as raising tobacco taxes, implementing smoke-free laws, banning tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship, and offering effective cessation support to those who wish to quit. Educational campaigns, both at the national and community level, play a crucial role in informing the public about the dangers of tobacco and empowering individuals to make informed choices about their health.
WHO targets a 30% reduction in tobacco use by 2025. Governments, healthcare professionals, civil society organizations, and individuals must unite to advocate for stricter tobacco control policies, support smoking cessation programs, and promote healthy alternatives to tobacco use.
Conclusion:
World No Tobacco Day is a reminder of the immense health risks associated with tobacco use and the urgent need for global action to combat this epidemic. By raising awareness, supporting evidence-based interventions, and fostering a collective commitment to a tobacco-free future, we can save millions of lives and create healthier communities worldwide. Let us seize this opportunity to stand against tobacco and work towards a healthier, smoke-free world
GSK’s latest campaign film highlights the painful disease and its risk in adults above the
age of 50 and the possibility of prevention.
30 May 2023: GSK today announced a partnership with veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan to raise awareness about shingles, a painful condition that affects 1 out of 3 adults above the age of 50 years. The campaign film evocatively captures the agonizing pain caused by shingles and its debilitating impact on the people living with it. It gives an important message that it is possible to protect aging adults against this pain through vaccination.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan said, “Shingles is known to be painful and thus certainly a setback to senior citizens. For prevention against Shingles, I recommend the senior citizens to talk to their doctors.”
Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. The virus remains inactive in the body after a person recovers from it. When the immunity of the body weakens, it re-activates to cause shingles. More than 90% of Indians by the age of 50 years have this virus in their body and are vulnerable to shingles.
Dr. Rashmi Hegde, Medical Director, GSK, said, “Amitabh Bachchan has been the face of several disease and vaccination awareness campaigns before, and his support has motivated people to take the required action to prevent these diseases. Today, India’s ageing population is rising, and we need to make them aware of diseases such as shingles which can impact their quality of life. We believe this will persuade more people to talk to their doctors about protecting themselves or their loved ones from shingles.”
The film has been conceptualized and executed by Lowe Lintas. The creative focus is on
capturing the intensity of the shingle’s pain through powerful metaphors and images. The
representation of pain is based on scientifically documented patient testimonies.
Commenting on the creative insight for the film, Sagar Kapoor, Chief Creative Officer (Global Brands), Lowe Lintas said, “Our challenge was to find a way to ‘show’ the unbearable pain of shingles, a sensation that can only be ‘felt‘ That is why we have made use of imagery such as sharp nails piercing the body or a person getting electric shocks. We do not want to scare people, but we want to make them aware that Shingles can be extremely painful, and it can be prevented.”
The video will be released on multiple platforms such as YouTube, Television, Print and other social media.

Expert suggests simple morning tricks for digestive relief
Attributed to Neha Ranglani, Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach
Our digestive system helps the body to absorb essential nutrients and is responsible for getting rid of waste. One of the most intricate and extensive parts of the body, it ranges from all the way from the mouth to the rectum. Hence, there are a lot of digestive issues people go through including mood disorders and weight loss. A simple morning routine can be a small step towards getting digestive relief and adapting to a healthy lifestyle.
If you’re relooking for some simple morning tricks to help with digestive relief, here are a few things you can try to boost your overall health.
Eat a handful of soaked almonds: Almonds are known to be one of the most highly nutritious nuts, it is filled with vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, copper, protein, essential chemicals, flavonoid, minerals, etc. Almonds are widely used for managing cholesterol levels, balancing blood pressure, acne-free glowing skin, healthy skin, boosting memory and so much more. And eating a handful of soaked almonds every day can provide these health benefits. According to a recent study, a handful of almonds every day greatly improves butyrate synthesis, a short-chain fatty acid that benefits gut health. The study also found that almonds can be added to the diet to increase fiber consumption
without triggering uncomfortable gut symptoms.
Drink warm lemon water: Instead of consuming your regular morning tea/ coffee, try having warm lemon water. It can help kickstart your digestive system and may reduce heartburn and bloating by loosening any toxins trapped in your digestive tract. 5 The acidity of the lemon juice may stimulate the production of digestive juices and help break down food.
Stretch and practice deep breathing: Gentle stretching in the morning may help stimulate digestion by massaging the organs in your digestive system. Try a simple yoga pose like the seated twist, or just stretch your arms and legs to get your blood flowing. Deep breathing may help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which may in turn aid digestion. 6 Try taking a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth before you start your day.

The investment is aimed at localized manufacturing of high-performance lubricants, which will cater to the growing demand from India’s industrial and automotive sectors.
The plant, with an investment outlay of INR 900 crore (US$110 million), will be built in Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation’s Isambe Industrial Area in Raigad. Once operational, it will have the capacity to potentially manufacture 159,000 kiloliters of finished lubricants annually.
Expecting to create over 1,200 new jobs during the construction phase, the plant will also support the local economy by creating a vibrant manufacturing ecosystem that will potentially benefit several ancillary sectors. In a significant boost to “Make in India,” a large part of the base stocks, additives, and all packaging will be sourced from local business when the plant begins production.
“This sizeable investment in India’s domestic manufacturing of lubricants will further cement our reputation as a trusted provider of high-quality products designed for the Indian market. We understand the aspirations of our customers and tailor our products to meet their specifications.

~ Digital media dominates violations; 75% of ads processed were on digital platforms ~
~ Real money gaming, education, and healthcare emerge as top violative categories~
~ 7,928 ads scrutinised, a 2x increase over the past two years ~
~ 97% of celebrity ads scrutinized failed to provide evidence of due diligence mandated by the Consumer Protection Act ~
Mumbai, May 18, 2023: The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) released its
annual complaints report for 2022-23 which contains several startling observations,
especially those pertaining to advertising in the digital space. During this period, ASCI
reviewed 7,928 advertisements across different media, including print, digital, and television. ASCI has stepped up its scrutiny of ads nearly 2 folds over the last 2 years. TV and print advertisers continued to be highly compliant at 94%, however, the overall compliance is lower at 81% due to digital. Hence, digital ads emerged not just as a leading violator, with 75% of ads processed being from the digital space, but also as the least compliant. This raises serious concerns about the safety of consumers in the online space.
As per the report, the real-money gaming industry surpassed the education sector to emerge as the most violative sector, moving from fifth to first place. An astounding number (92%) of gaming advertisements reviewed by ASCI for FY 2022–23 did not adhere to the guidelines for real money gaming and failed to inform consumers about the risks of financial loss and addiction. The sector also gained the dubious distinction of being the least complaint, with only 50% of ads being modified voluntarily after they have been called out. It may be remembered that ASCI had released its guidelines for the Real-Money gaming sector in December 2020, and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had thereafter released an advisory asking all parties to comply with the guidelines.
The report also revealed a sharp increase in the number of misleading ads featuring celebrities. ASCI processed 503 such ads, as opposed to 55 the previous year, a growth of 803%. In 97% of these ads, the celebrities failed to provide evidence of due diligence as mandated by the Consumer Protection Act. This again is a serious issue as ads featuring celebrities have a high impact on consumers.
In addition, influencer violations stood at 26%, with 2,039 complaints being processed against them. Categories, including personal care, food and beverage, and fashion and lifestyle, topped the list of influencer-related violations.
ASCI's adoption of artificial intelligence-based tracking has bolstered its ability to scrutinize digital media effectively, despite challenges such as the pace of advertising and the sheer number of ads to be processed. This goes to show that the self-regulatory organization remains steadfast in its commitment to promote responsible advertising practices and protecting consumer rights.
The ASCI Annual Complaints Report serves as a wake-up call to advertisers, platforms, and
regulators, urging them to join forces and create a secure environment and foster trust among consumers.
NS Rajan, Chairman, ASCI, observed: “The digital advertising landscape is truly challenging us all and ASCI is no exception. Stepping up our surveillance through AI-based tools and a robust complaint management system has ensured that ASCI is keeping pace with this dynamic environment. Updating our codes to reflect newer consumer concerns makes sure the ASCI codes remain contemporary. We will continue to act as the conscience keeper of the Indian ad industry with transparency and future-facing expertise.”
Manisha Kapoor, CEO, and Secretary General, ASCI, added: “The complaints analysis
for 2022–23 clearly shows that the digital medium is leading in terms of violative ads. This raises significant concerns around online consumer safety and trust. Advertisers, content creators, and platforms must come together to address this issue on an urgent basis to protect consumer interests. In addition, the sharp increase in the number of violative gaming ads needs serious attention from the industry.”

the mechanism as an effective pre-emptive step to statutory provisions in the sphere of advertising content regulation for television and radio in India. ASCI’s role has been acclaimed by various Government bodies including The Department of Consumer Affairs (DoCA), the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the Ministry of AYUSH as well as the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB). MIB issued an advisory for a scroller providing ASCI’s WhatsApp for Business number 77100 12345, to be carried by
all TV broadcasters for consumers to register their grievances against objectionable advertisements. On the international front, in 2023, ASCI CEO and Secretary General, Ms. Manisha Kapoor was re-elected as one of the four Vice-Presidents of the Executive Committee of the International Council on Ad Self-Regulation (ICAS). Among several awards bestowed by the European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA), ASCI bagged a Gold Global Best Practice Award for the Mobile App “ASCI online” (2016), special recognition for its “Guidelines for Celebrities in Advertising”; at the first-ever ‘Global Awards for Effective Advertising Self-Regulation’ hosted by the ICAS (2019). In 2021, ASCI also won two ICAS awards, one for the ASCI scroll telecast across television in the ‘Best Awareness Raising Initiative’ and for its extensive digital suo-moto monitoring through the NAMS initiative, in the ‘Special Category’.

-High-performance fuel at base price for the first time in India-
Jio-bp today announced the launch of its diesel with ACTIVE technology, set to elevate diesel standards for Indian consumers. The newly launched additivised diesel, available across the company’s network will yield annual savings of up to INR 1.1 lakh* per vehicle to truckers owing to (up to) 4.3%* improved fuel economy. This new high-performance diesel offering will be available at all Jio-bp outlets and will be offered at regular prices with no additional cost for the first time ever in the Indian market.
Diesel at Jio-bp outlets with ACTIVE technology helps reduce the risk of unscheduled maintenance caused by dirt build-up and removes existing dirt from critical engine parts and protects against its build-up with ongoing use. It is designed to work across a range of commercial vehicles, and with ongoing use, it offers a variety of benefits to drivers and fleet owners. It helps restore and maintain the power of the engine with ongoing use while also reducing the risk of unscheduled vehicle maintenance
Jio-bp CEO, Harish C Mehta said “While every single customer is important, truckers have always held a special place for Jio-bp. Accounting for over half of truckers’ operating costs, we understand the critical impact of fuel on their overall business performance. To ease their concerns around fuel performance and engine maintenance, Jio-bp has worked over multiple years with the best technologists to develop customized additive from scratch. This additive laced high-performance diesel is designed specifically for Indian vehicles, on Indian roads, and in Indian driving conditions.”
Consumer problem
Dirt can form and build up over time on critical engine parts, particularly fuel injectors which are quite sensitive to it. Modern trucks with sophisticated fuel injection systems are more susceptible to dirt build up due to their reduced injector hole size. With standard diesel, harmful dirt can build up over time and restrict the holes, which can lead to reduced pick-up, increased fuel consumption, and can even lead to higher maintenance cost.
The solution
Diesel at Jio-bp with ACTIVE technology is specially designed for Indian vehicles and driving conditions to fight harmful engine dirt and clean the engine as you drive, starting from the very first fill. Our exclusive, internationally developed ACTIVE technology fights dirt in two clever ways:
ACTIVE molecules attach to existing dirt and drag it away from critical engine parts. The dirt mixes with the fuel and is then safely burnt in the engine.
ACTIVE molecules also attach to clean metal surfaces in engines, forming a protective layer which helps stop dirt binding onto the metal.
Diesel at Jio-bp with ACTIVE technology offers up to INR 1.1 lakh* savings per truck per year and a fuel economy benefit of up to 4.3 %*.
It helps restore and maintain the power or pick up of your engine with ongoing use, helping the engine run as the manufacturer intended.
It helps reduce the risk of unscheduled maintenance with ongoing use, keeping trucks running on the road.
It helps reduce the risk of expensive critical engine component failures caused by dirt build-up.
It removes existing dirt from critical engine parts and protects against its build-up.
It contains an anti-foam agent that helps deliver cleaner, faster, and safer refueling, so your trucks can spend more time on the road and less time at the pump.
With over 100 years in fuel research, bp’s dedicated team of scientists and engineers have a deep understanding of the interactions between fuels and vehicle technology and collaborate closely with the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers. Rigorous testing for the new diesel has been carried out by an accredited and renowned independent global automotive testing agency, Millbrook UTAC in the UK. The product is especially designed for Indian vehicles and Indian driving and operating conditions.
