• Satya Dev Tiwari, MD & CEO at Voll Sante Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd Every winter, millions of people in north and western India wake up to a thick grey blanket of smog. From November to February, the air often becomes dangerous to breathe. The Air

• Quality Index (AQI) regularly crosses 400–500 (anything above 300 is considered “severe”). Crop burning in Punjab and Haryana, millions of vehicles, factory smoke, and cold air that traps everything close to the ground turn the season of festivals and weddings into a silent health emergency.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 5: This isn’t just “fog” that makes your eyes water. It’s a direct attack on your lungs that can harm you as much as years of smoking, even if you’ve never touched a cigarette. A major 2023 study in The Lancet showed that lung cancer in Delhi’s non-smokers has shot up because of air pollution.

Here are the eight main ways this polluted air hurts your lungs and body:

1. Instant irritation: Within hours of breathing bad air, your throat and chest feel tight, you cough, and you wheeze. Harmful gases irritate the airways like chilli powder in your nose.

2. Tiny invisible particles (PM2.5) slip deep into the lungs and create “free radicals” - angry molecules that damage lung cells, almost like rust eating metal.

3. Over weeks, the airways get thick and scarred. Even non-smokers start coughing up phlegm every morning - an early sign of COPD (chronic lung disease).

4. The tiny air sacs that put oxygen into your blood start breaking, just like in heavy smokers. Many Delhi patients lose 15-20% of their lung power every year.

5. Lungs slowly turn stiff and fibrous, making every breath feel harder.

6. Cancer risk increases: Chemicals stuck to the pollution particles can change DNA and cause lung cancer. City residents are 2-3 times more likely to get it.

7. Your lungs’ natural cleaning system (tiny hair-like sweepers called cilia) stops working properly, so colds, coughs, and pneumonia become common and last longer.

8. The damage doesn’t stay in the lungs. Those tiny particles enter the blood and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and in children, permanently smaller lungs.

This is happening right now to millions of us.

The good news? You can fight back from the inside.

Your lungs depend on a strong immune system, and the right food gives your body the tools it needs. Vitamins C and E, Zinc, Omega-3 fats, and good protein act like an internal shield - they calm inflammation, repair damage, and keep the lung cleaners working.

But in most Indian cities, getting enough of these nutrients is tough. Fast food, stress, lack of sleep, and expensive vegetables mean 7 out of 10 urban Indians are low on Vitamin C and Zinc. On top of that, pollution itself uses up these protective nutrients faster. It’s a losing battle unless you do something extra.

This is where smart, targeted nutrition supplements can help fill the gap.

One Indian company, Voll Sante, has created two products specially designed for people breathing polluted air:

Voll Pro Respi is a plant-based, protein-powered lung support formula designed to help people breathe easier in polluted and post-illness conditions. It contains NAC (a compound doctors use in hospitals to thin stubborn mucus), turmeric, ginger, bromelain, and quercetin.

Together, these ingredients help open the airways, reduce inflammation, and clear out trapped smoke and dust particles from the lungs. The protein component supports stronger respiratory muscles, which play a key role in better breathing capacity. The formula also helps boost glutathione, the lungs’ most important natural antioxidant.

Many users report coughing less, feeling less heaviness in the chest, and breathing more comfortably within a few days - without any of the side effects associated with steroid-based options.

Vollcee Z – a plant-based daily immunity tablet that gives 100% of your daily vitamin C from real amla (Indian gooseberry), proper doses of zinc and magnesium, plus black pepper extract that helps absorb these ingredients 20 times better. It keeps your defence system strong when pollution is trying to weaken it.

Voll Pro Respi Protein Powder and Vollcee Z are widely available on Voll Sante Website and platforms like Amazon as well.

Winter smog may be outside your control, but how hard it hits your body is not. A few small daily habits - eating more colourful fruits and vegetables when you can, staying hydrated, and adding science-backed nutritional support - can make a real difference.

This year, don’t just wait for the air to get better. Give your lungs the backup they desperately need.

Thrissur (Kerala) [India], November 15:  Thrissur Piles Clinic, a leading centre for advanced proctology care in Kerala, has announced the introduction of its state-of-the-art Laser Pilonidoplasty (LPP) for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. Led by renowned Proctologist Dr Raviram S, the clinic aims to deliver faster healing, reduced recurrence, and improved patient comfort using cutting-edge laser technology. He provides best treatment for pilonidal sinus in Thrissur

Pilonidal sinus is a chronic condition that typically affects the area between the buttocks, often causing pain, swelling, discharge, and recurrent infections. Many patients struggle with repeated flare-ups, difficulty sitting, and significant lifestyle disturbances. Traditional surgical methods often involve large incisions, extended downtime, and prolonged wound healing. Thrissur Piles Clinic now addresses these challenges with a modern, minimally invasive solution that prioritises precision and recovery.

Dr Raviram S, who has performed thousands of proctology procedures, highlights the importance of offering painless, effective, and scientifically backed treatments. “Pilonidal sinus is a troublesome disease that often returns if not treated appropriately. Our advanced laser procedure helps us seal the sinus tract with high accuracy, resulting in minimal tissue damage, quicker healing, and a far lower chance of recurrence,” he said.

Laser Pilonidoplasty: A Breakthrough in Pilonidal Sinus Care

Laser Pilonidoplasty (LPP) uses a powerful, targeted laser fiber inserted directly into the sinus tract. The laser energy destroys infected tissue, sterilises the tract, and promotes natural healing without the need for wide surgical cuts. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, bleeding is significantly reduced, and postoperative pain remains minimal.

The clinic explains that the procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the sinus. Patients can undergo the treatment under local, regional, or general anaesthesia, based on their comfort and the surgeon’s recommendation. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and resume normal activities within a few days.

Why Laser Treatment Is Transforming Pilonidal Sinus Management

Thrissur Piles Clinic emphasises several advantages of choosing laser over conventional surgery:

1. Minimal Pain and Trauma: The selective laser energy targets only diseased tissue, leaving surrounding healthy skin intact.
2. Smaller Incisions, Minimal Scars: Unlike wide excisions, laser techniques require only tiny entry points, resulting in negligible scarring.
3. Lower Risk of Infection: Laser energy effectively seals tissues, reducing bacterial contamination and accelerating wound healing.
4. Faster Return to Work: Most patients can resume normal life within a week, making it ideal for students, professionals, and individuals with active lifestyles.
5. Reduced Recurrence: When performed by an expert, laser treatment significantly lowers the chances of the pilonidal sinus returning.

Dr Raviram stresses the importance of personalised evaluation. “There is no one-size-fits-all approach in proctology. Some patients benefit most from laser, while others may require additional techniques like VAAFT, flap reconstruction, or Kshar Sutra therapy. At Thrissur Piles Clinic, every patient receives a customised treatment plan tailored to the severity and nature of their sinus.”

Complete Care From Diagnosis to Recovery

The clinic provides a comprehensive care pathway starting with a detailed assessment, imaging if needed, minimally invasive treatment, and structured postoperative follow-ups. Patients are provided with clear wound-care instructions, lifestyle modifications, and early warning signs to watch for. The team also encourages prompt review in case of redness, persistent pain, swelling, or discharge — ensuring that complications are addressed early.

Cost and Accessibility

The clinic clarifies that the cost of laser treatment varies based on the size and complexity of the sinus, anaesthesia type, and associated procedures. Patients are encouraged to book a direct consultation to understand the most suitable treatment plan and cost breakdown.

About Thrissur Piles Clinic

Thrissur Piles Clinic is one of Kerala’s leading centres dedicated to the treatment of piles, fissures, fistula, pilonidal sinus, and other anorectal disorders. With an experienced team led by Dr Raviram S, the clinic offers a combination of advanced techniques—including laser treatments, endoscopic procedures, flap surgeries, and Ayurvedic Kshar Sutra therapy—to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results. The clinic is well-known for its ethical practice, modern equipment, personalised approach, and high patient satisfaction.

#StopThePeriodPain – Don’t take period pain lightly. It is a real medical issue.

New Delhi [India], November 3 : In 2020, a single word changed how we looked at health forever: pandemic. COVID-19 became the defining moment of our generation — the first time most of us witnessed a global health crisis unfold in real time. We watched cities lock down, hospitals overflow, and humanity unite to fight an invisible threat. The world’s collective focus was on survival, and we learned how powerful awareness and action could be when everyone comes together for a cause.

But while we’ve been fighting visible pandemics like COVID-19 — and even tackling chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart ailments through national awareness drives — there’s another silent health crisis that has quietly affected millions of women for decades. One that rarely makes headlines, is barely discussed, and has never been treated like the public health issue it truly is.

That crisis is Dysmenorrhea, or what most people simply call period pain.

“Dysmenorrhea, or period pain, affects an estimated 80% of Indian girls and women,”

explains Dr Prabhu Kasture, Director, Medical Services & Pharmacovigilance at Blue Cross Laboratories.

“It is, without a doubt, India’s biggest gynaecological problem. Yet, there have been no national campaigns, no government programs, no large-scale education drives to address it. Because somewhere along the way, menstrual pain stopped being viewed as a health issue. It was normalized — brushed aside with a single dismissive line: ‘It’s just part of being a woman.’”

This cultural conditioning is what the “Stop The Period Pain” campaign aims to change.

We’ve seen campaigns that have made great strides in menstrual hygiene awareness — promoting the use of sanitary napkins and improving access to basic hygiene products.

But #StopThePeriodPain is a step beyond hygiene. It’s the first campaign in India that directly addresses the root cause — the pain itself.

Ashish Shirsat, Sr. Executive Director, Blue Cross Laboratories, explains it perfectly:

“‘Period pain to sabko hota hai’ — this one sentence has normalized menstrual pain for generations. It has placed every kind of pain, from mild discomfort to debilitating cramps, into one bucket. But not all pain is normal. Some of it signals deeper health issues — and ignoring it can have lifelong consequences.”

This normalization has created a dangerous silence around menstrual health.

Girls miss school. Women skip work. Yet most accept this suffering as something they “just have to deal with.”

Pachanan Routray, Sr. Marketing Director, Blue Cross Laboratories, adds:

“We have massive gynaecological problems in India — 80% of girls experience dysmenorrhea. Many of them live with conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, or uterine fibroids — all forms of secondary dysmenorrhea — but they go undiagnosed for years because we’ve been taught that period pain is normal. That mindset must change.”

That’s the heart of the message — excessive period pain is not normal.
As the campaign says: “Isko halke mein mat lo.”

The Stop The Period Pain website goes beyond just tools. It’s a complete ecosystem for education and empowerment — featuring personal stories, expert advice, FAQs, and science-backed insights into period pain. It acts as a single, comprehensive guide for girls and women who’ve long suffered in silence, unsure where to turn or what their pain really means.

The message is simple yet powerful: This is not a small problem. Period pain — or dysmenorrhea — is a silent pandemic that affects millions of Indian women and girls, disrupting their education, careers, and quality of life.

Just as the world came together to fight COVID-19, it’s time to unite against this invisible yet deeply personal health crisis — through awareness, education, and empathy.

“Stop The Period Pain” is more than a campaign.
It’s a movement to change how India talks about women’s health — one conversation, one video, one click at a time.

About Blue Cross Laboratories

Founded in 1980 by Chairman Mr. N.H. Israni, Blue Cross Laboratories is one of India’s leading research-based, fast-growing pharmaceutical companies. It provides world-class quality and affordable healthcare products to people across the globe with the aim of improving human life.

New Delhi [India] : India has become a sought-after destination for affordable and effective fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Prospective parents from around the globe are drawn to the country due to its advanced medical infrastructure, experienced fertility specialists, and competitive pricing. If you’re looking for an IVF center in India, understanding the costs, success rates, and available options can help you make an informed decision tailored to your needs.

Understanding IVF and How It Works

IVF, or in-vitro fertilization, is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory setting. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus with the goal of achieving a successful pregnancy. This procedure is often recommended for couples experiencing infertility issues, including ovulation disorders, fallopian tube damage, low sperm count, or unexplained infertility.

The IVF process typically involves several stages, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and the follow-up phase to confirm pregnancy. While the treatment process is consistent worldwide, the associated costs often vary, due to factors such as location, hospital infrastructure, and the expertise of medical professionals.

IVF Costs in India

One of the significant advantages of opting for IVF treatment in India is its affordability when compared to other countries. The cost of IVF in India typically ranges between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,50,000 per cycle ($1,200 to $3,000 approximately). However, this price range can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the city, the clinic's reputation, and any additional procedures or medications required.

For couples seeking treatment, it is essential to review the breakdown of IVF expenses. The total cost usually includes consultation fees, diagnostic tests, medications for ovarian stimulation, the retrieval process, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Some clinics may also provide comprehensive packages to cover these aspects, ensuring transparency in pricing.

IVF Cost in Major Indian Cities

The cost of IVF treatment can fluctuate based on the location, as metropolitan cities usually have more advanced facilities but also higher expenses. Here's an overview of IVF costs in some Indian cities:

• Mumbai: ₹1,50,000 - ₹3,50,000

• Delhi: ₹1,20,000 - ₹3,00,000

• Bangalore: ₹1,00,000 - ₹2,50,000

• Chennai: ₹1,20,000 - ₹2,80,000

• Hyderabad: ₹1,00,000 - ₹2,40,000

• Kolkata: ₹90,000 - ₹2,30,000

• Jaipur :  ₹80,000 - ₹1,50,000

These variations are influenced by the clinic's facilities, the expertise of fertility specialists, and available technology. Evaluating the success rates of a clinic and consulting other patients' experiences can help streamline your decision when selecting the best IVF center in any Indian city.

Factors Influencing IVF Costs

The affordability of IVF treatment does not mean compromising on quality, but patients should be aware of the factors influencing costs. These include:

1. Type of Procedure: Some patients may need additional advanced procedures, such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) or Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), which can increase the overall expense.

2. Medications: Hormonal drugs for ovarian stimulation vary in pricing based on brand and dosage required, contributing to treatment costs.

3. Number of Cycles: Success may not always happen in the first cycle, and multiple cycles might be necessary, adding to the total cost.

4. Clinic Reputation and Expertise: Clinics with highly experienced doctors and state-of-the-art facilities may charge premium prices for their services.

5. Technology and Resources: Access to advanced equipment and embryology labs improves treatment precision and success rates, often influencing costs.

Affordable IVF Options in India

India offers numerous IVF centers that succeed in combining affordability with cutting-edge technology. Clinics often present patients with tailored packages to meet specific medical and financial requirements. For those who need financial assistance, some clinics also collaborate with banks or financial institutions to provide easy installment options, making treatment more accessible.

Patients looking for affordable IVF treatment in India should research and compare options to find a center that aligns with their expectations for care and budget. Some renowned clinics include attempts to minimize financial strain while maintaining personalized care and high success rates.

IVF Success Rates in India

The success rate of IVF treatment in India ranges between 40% and 60%, depending on various factors such as the patient’s age, the quality of eggs and sperm, and the expertise of the fertility team. Younger patients, typically below the age of 35, often experience higher chances of success due to better egg and sperm viability. Clinics equipped with the latest technology and skilled specialists can further improve your chances of a positive outcome.

It’s vital to remember that success rates also depend on individual circumstances, and discussing these variables with a specialist will provide clarity before proceeding with treatment.

Choosing the Best IVF Center in India

Finding the right IVF center is pivotal for a successful treatment experience. While costs are an important factor, evaluating the clinic’s quality of care, patient reviews, and success stories should also guide your decision.

Key Considerations:

• Check the credentials and experience of the fertility specialists.

• Investigate the clinic’s infrastructure and technological advancements.

• Compare pricing transparency and additional service options offered.

• Look at patient testimonials and success rate data specific to the clinic.

Final Thoughts

Looking for the best IVF center in Jaipur provides a beacon of hope for countless couples and individuals facing infertility challenges. With competitive costs, world-class technology, and a compassionate medical approach, patients can access top-notch care tailored to their financial and emotional needs. By understanding the factors affecting treatment prices and carefully choosing a reliable clinic, you can take a confident step forward in your fertility journey.

Whether you’re planning treatment in a bustling metropolitan hub or a quieter city, the available options for IVF treatment in India reflect a combination of affordability and quality that continues to attract patients globally.

New Delhi [India] : In an era where intelligent systems are reshaping everything from how we shop to how we heal, KRIGAT steps in as a game-changing innovation at the intersection of health, AI, and human potential. Developed by AltrixLabs, a cross-continental collaboration between British and Indian innovators, KRIGAT is not just another health tech product. It’s an entirely new approach to understanding, supporting, and optimising the way we move.

From Vision to Reality – The AltrixLabs Story

AltrixLabs was born from a unique blend of athletic grit, business intelligence, and deep tech expertise. In the UK, Parantha Narendran, a veteran in telecom and tech strategy, and Allyn Condon, a decorated Olympian and advocate for sports science, had already made their mark as co-founders of the renowned Luxe Fitness gym chain. In India, Aditya Chhabra—a technologist and entrepreneur with a distinguished background in biomechanics, health tech, and published research on human body repositioning and personalization, alongside Priyanshi Tater, a human-centred design expert, had built CreateBytes, a pioneering AI-first design and engineering studio.

Drawn together by a shared vision to make elite performance and rehabilitation tools accessible to everyone, the four founders merged their worlds—combining cutting-edge AI systems, sports science expertise, and proven business leadership—to create a platform that’s redefining human performance and health innovation.

Introducing KRIGAT – An AI That Moves With You

KRIGAT, derived from the Sanskrit words Kriya (action) and Gati (motion), is more than a product. It’s a powerful AI platform that reads human motion through any standard camera, offering real-time feedback and actionable insights with no wearables, sensors, or friction.

Fully browser-based and device-agnostic, KRIGAT turns a laptop or smartphone into a digital physio or performance coach. It’s movement intelligence at your fingertips, accessible, scalable, and precise.

Two Core Modules:

KRIGAT Physio uses computer vision to analyse joint movement, posture, and alignment during physiotherapy routines. It offers clinically validated programs, tracks recovery progress, and provides real-time corrections via voice or text, making rehab truly interactive.

KRIGAT PowerSports is tailored for athletes and coaches. It tracks performance metrics like power output, jump height, bar path, and limb symmetry giving elite-level feedback during workouts without the need for expensive hardware.

Why It Matters – The Big Picture

What sets KRIGAT apart is its deep commitment to access and impact. India, despite its fitness boom, faces a chronic shortage of qualified physiotherapists and movement specialists especially outside tier-one cities. KRIGAT bridges this gap by putting world-class diagnostics and guidance within reach, whether you’re in a metro clinic or a rural home.

It’s already gaining traction in several sectors:

• Gyms and Fitness Chains are using it to screen for injury risks and improve member outcomes.

• Clinics and Hospitals are digitising their physiotherapy practices, enabling remote monitoring.

• Sports Academies are giving young athletes tools previously reserved for elite professionals.

• Corporates are embedding it in wellness programmes to reduce workplace injuries.

• Seniors and Recovering Patients are benefiting from structured, at-home rehabilitation support.

And because KRIGAT requires no app installation or hardware, it scales effortlessly from a single physiotherapist’s practice to national healthcare deployments.

Built for Scale, Designed for People

KRIGAT is a masterclass in human-centred AI. It leverages cutting-edge computer vision while maintaining an intuitive and inclusive experience. Whether you’re a first-time gym-goer or an Olympic coach, the interface is simple, the insights clear, and the outcomes measurable.

And it’s only just beginning.

The team at AltrixLabs is already building out the next phase of the product:

• Native mobile apps for more seamless usage

• Augmented reality overlays for deeper training support

• Multilingual voice assistants to expand reach across India

• Wearable integrations to capture richer biometric data

“KRIGAT is our answer to making world-class movement health accessible for everyone, whether you’re a professional athlete or someone just beginning your fitness journey,” shares Priyanshi Tater.

“After years competing at the highest level, I know firsthand the power of real-time feedback. With KRIGAT, that technology is finally in everyone’s hands,” says Aditya Chhabra.

Priyanshi added, “We’re not just building a product; we’re creating a movement, a future where everyone moves better, recovers faster, and lives stronger.”

In conclusion, KRIGAT marks a turning point in how we think about recovery, performance, and well-being. It turns motion into intelligence and feedback into empowerment. For a world that’s increasingly sedentary and injury-prone, it offers a proactive, data-driven path to better movement health.

With its launch, AltrixLabs is making a bold statement: that intelligent healthcare isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity, and it should be as accessible as it is advanced.

Nair is a highly experienced Gastroenterologist and one of the Best GI Surgeons in Thrissur with over 16 years of expertise in surgical gastroenterology, advanced laparoscopy, and minimally invasive procedures.

Book your appointment today and take the first step toward a healthier, hernia-free life.

When to Consult a Hernia Surgeon

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it is important to consult Dr. Arun S. Nair for timely treatment:

1. A noticeable lump or bulge in the abdomen or groin.
2. Pain or discomfort while lifting, coughing, or bending.
3. Swelling near the belly button or surgical scar.
4. Nausea, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain (possible complication).

Delaying treatment can increase risks and make surgery more complex.

Types of Hernias Treated:

Dr. Arun S. Nair, a leading Hernia Surgeon in Thrissur, explains the different types of hernia commonly seen in patients. Each type requires careful evaluation and a personalized treatment plan for the best outcome.

1. Inguinal Hernia – The most common type occurs in the groin area, especially in men.
2. Femoral Hernia – More common in women, appears in the upper thigh near the groin.
3. Umbilical Hernia – Develops near the belly button, often in newborns, obese adults, or women with a history of pregnancy.
4. Incisional Hernia – Appears at the site of a previous surgical scar, usually after abdominal surgery.
5. Hiatal Hernia – Happens when part of the stomach pushes into the chest cavity through the diaphragm, leading to acid reflux or GERD-like symptoms.
6. Recurrent Hernia – Occurs when a hernia comes back after previous surgery. It often needs advanced laparoscopic or robotic repair.
7. Complex Hernia – Large, multiple, or complicated hernias that may involve abdominal wall reconstruction and specialised surgical techniques.
8. Pain after Hernia Repair – Some patients experience persistent or chronic pain after previous hernia surgery. This condition requires expert evaluation and treatment to improve quality of life.

Why Timely Hernia Treatment is Important

While some patients ignore hernia symptoms, believing they will resolve on their own, the truth is that hernias do not heal without surgery. Instead, they may worsen over time and lead to severe complications such as:

1. Strangulated Hernia – Blood supply to the trapped tissue is cut off, which can be life-threatening.
2. Obstruction – Part of the intestine may become blocked, leading to severe pain and digestive issues.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 13: Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, has become one of the first hospitals in India to receive the prestigious Comprehensive Chest Pain Center Certification from the American Heart Association (AHA), a landmark recognition in the field of cardiac emergency care.

This elite certification the highest level awarded by the AHA’s Chest Pain Center program recognizes hospitals that demonstrate exceptional standards in the rapid assessment and treatment of chest pain, particularly for acute and life-threatening heart attacks such as STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction).

“This certification is a testament to Apollo Hospitals Jubilee Hills’ unwavering commitment to providing evidence-based, world-class cardiac care,” said Dr. D.P. Suresh, incoming volunteer co-chair of the AHA’s International Committee. “The hospital’s dedication to clinical excellence ensures that patients experiencing acute cardiac conditions receive timely, life-saving interventions.”

Mr. Tejesvi Rao, CEO of Apollo Hospitals, Telangana Region, emphasized the significance of this achievement in the context of global and national health challenges. “Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 32% of all deaths. In India, heart disease is responsible for nearly 36% of adult deaths between ages 30 and 69. The AHA certification reflects Apollo Jubilee Hills’ readiness to tackle this crisis through stringent clinical protocols, cutting-edge technology, and adherence to international best practices,” he said.

Dr. Imron Subhan, head of emergency medicine at Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad, said the Comprehensive Chest Pain Center Certification program was developed to identify and honor hospitals that excel in delivering rapid, evidence-based care including performing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for heart attack patients. These certified centers are equipped to improve patient outcomes and save lives by ensuring swift diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Manoj Agarwal, Senior Consultant Cardiologist at Apollo Hospitals Jubilee Hills, noted that the hospital now joins a growing global network of AHA-certified Chest Pain Centers committed to reducing cardiac mortality and building healthier communities. He added, “At Apollo Health City, Jubilee Hills, our Cardiology Department follows a robust acute myocardial infarction (MI) protocol designed to quickly identify and treat heart attacks using advanced interventions.”

Highlighting the network-wide efficiency, he shared that across the Apollo Hospitals group, the Door-to-Balloon (D2B) time the critical time between a patient’s arrival and the PCI procedure has been brought down to under 60 minutes, well ahead of the American College of Cardiology’s 90-minute benchmark.

Dr.Ravindra Babu Annam Director Medical Services Telangana Cluster, said this certification reaffirms Apollo Hospitals’ role as a leader in cardiac care and a benchmark institution in India’s healthcare landscape.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 3: Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, and while in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope, success rates have traditionally varied. Many couples face multiple IVF cycles before achieving a successful pregnancy. However, with the advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), fertility treatments are becoming more precise, leading to higher IVF success rates and healthier pregnancies.

Dr. S. Vyjayanthi, a leading Fertility Specialist and Director of MotherToBe Fertility Centre, discusses how these groundbreaking innovations are transforming the field of reproductive medicine.

The Role of AI in IVF Treatments

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing IVF by improving accuracy in embryo selection, ovarian stimulation monitoring, and sperm analysis.

AI in Embryo Selection

One of the most critical steps in IVF is choosing the healthiest embryo for implantation. Traditionally, embryologists assess embryos visually under a microscope, relying on subjective judgment. AI enhances this process by:

• Analyzing thousands of embryo images to detect subtle differences that the human eye might miss

• Predicting embryo viability based on morphology, developmental patterns, and genetic health

• Reducing implantation failures by selecting the embryos with the highest potential for successful pregnancy

AI-powered systems use machine learning algorithms trained on large datasets of embryo images. These systems assign an embryo grading score, helping embryologists choose the embryo with the highest implantation potential.

AI in Ovarian Stimulation Monitoring

Before egg retrieval, ovarian stimulation is required to encourage the growth of multiple follicles. However, the right dosage of medications is crucial to prevent complications such as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). AI plays a key role by:

• Monitoring hormone levels and follicular growth to predict the optimal trigger time

• Personalizing medication doses based on real-time patient data, ensuring safer and more effective ovarian stimulation

• Reducing medication side effects and improving egg retrieval outcomes

AI in Sperm Analysis

Male factor infertility contributes to nearly 50 percent of infertility cases. Traditional sperm analysis relies on manual assessments, but AI-powered sperm analysis offers:

• More precise evaluation of sperm motility, morphology, and concentration

• Enhanced selection of high-quality sperm for fertilization in IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

• A better understanding of sperm DNA fragmentation, which can impact embryo development

AI-driven sperm selection allows fertility specialists to make informed decisions, maximizing the chances of conception.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) in IVF

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is transforming IVF success rates by ensuring genetically normal embryos are selected for transfer.

Types of PGT and Their Role in IVF

• PGT-A (Aneuploidy Screening): Screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome and Turner syndrome. This reduces the risk of implantation failure and miscarriage.

• PGT-M (Monogenic Disorders): Screens for inherited single-gene disorders, such as Cystic Fibrosis and Sickle Cell Anemia, helping parents with genetic conditions have healthy children.

• PGT-SR (Structural Rearrangements): Identifies chromosomal translocations that may cause recurrent miscarriages or failed implantation.

During IVF, a few cells from a developing embryo are biopsied and tested before implantation. This ensures that only genetically normal embryos are transferred, improving pregnancy outcomes and reducing the risk of miscarriage.

How AI and PGT Are Increasing IVF Success Rates

The combination of AI-powered embryo selection and Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) has significantly improved IVF success rates by:

• Improving embryo quality and selection accuracy

• Reducing IVF failure rates and miscarriages

• Enhancing personalized treatment approaches

• Minimizing the risks of multiple pregnancies by supporting elective single embryo transfer (eSET)

According to Dr. Vyjayanthi, “The integration of AI in embryo selection and PGT has transformed the success rates of IVF, making treatments more precise, personalized, and patient-friendly. At MotherToBe, we combine the latest AI-driven tools with genetic testing to maximize success rates and offer couples a better chance of achieving parenthood.”

Who Can Benefit from AI and PGT in IVF?

These technologies are particularly beneficial for:

• Women over 35 years of age experiencing low ovarian reserve

• Couples with a history of multiple failed IVF cycles

• Women with recurrent pregnancy loss

• Couples with a known genetic disorder (e.g., Thalassemia, BRCA mutation)

• Male infertility cases requiring advanced sperm selection techniques

At MotherToBe Fertility Centre, AI-powered embryo selection and PGT are used to enhance precision and improve IVF success rates.

Future of AI and Genetic Testing in Fertility Treatments

The future of fertility treatments looks promising, with continuous advancements such as:

• AI-powered embryo culture monitoring using time-lapse imaging

• Advanced sperm sorting techniques using AI-driven microfluidic chips

• Non-invasive genetic screening (NIPGS), eliminating the need for embryo biopsy

With ongoing research and technological advancements, AI and genetic testing will continue to enhance reproductive medicine, offering new hope to couples worldwide.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence and Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is revolutionizing IVF treatments, improving success rates, and reducing genetic risks.

For those struggling with infertility, these cutting-edge advancements provide a path to parenthood with greater accuracy and confidence.
