Lifesigns and Cura Hospital bridge urban-rural healthcare gap with AI-enabled care

New Delhi: Cura Hospital, Bangalore has partnered with Lifesigns, India’s leading AI-powered patient monitoring platform, to enable round-the-clock, real-time tracking of vital signs across hospital, home, and in-transit care.

This collaboration ensures that critical health data is continuously streamed to clinicians, helping them intervene at the right time, reduce delays, and significantly improve outcomes, especially for cardiac emergencies where every minute matters.

The partnership allows the hospital to monitor patients remotely using wearable IoT devices, receive intelligent alerts, and deliver targeted care from the moment symptoms start, regardless of where the patient is located.

Through this collaboration with Lifesigns, the hospital can now deliver proactive, tech-enabled care, especially during the “golden hour”—the crucial window following a cardiac event when rapid response can save lives. Cura’s clinical team receives live data to prepare and guide precise treatment plans, whether the patient is in-hospital, at home, or en route via smart ambulance.

Speaking on the collaboration and the importance of golden hour, Dr. Ameen Shams, Medical Director, Cura Hospital, shared: “The golden hour is critical in saving lives during a heart attack. At Cura, we are harnessing technology to ensure patients suspected of cardiac events can be monitored and managed from the moment symptoms begin, even before they reach the hospital. With live streaming in-hospital, home and smart ambulances with seamless coordination, our team is ready to deliver targeted care the instant a patient arrives.”

The collaboration also bridges the urban-rural healthcare divide, extending advanced monitoring, early warning systems, and expert intervention to patients from both South Bangalore and neighboring semi-urban and rural areas. The partnership reflects a shared vision between Cura Hospital and Lifesigns to create a patient-centric, technology-led healthcare future—where care is not only reactive but predictive and proactive.

Kanika Gulati, Chief Growth Officer, Lifesigns shared how “Lifesigns is thrilled to partner with Cura Hospital, a forward-thinking institution that shares our vision for a more accessible and patient-centric healthcare future. This collaboration provides AI-enabled real-time patient monitoring with intelligent alerts that help Cura’s expert medical team prioritize patients needing urgent attention and ensure better outcomes, both in hospital and at home.”

As Cura Hospital strengthens its role as a regional hub for cardiac care, the hospital is also launching a dedicated mobile application for iOS and Android. This platform empowers patients and their families to schedule appointments, monitor recovery progress, and stay connected with care teams—reinforcing the hospital’s patient-first philosophy.

In a region where access to quality cardiac care has long been limited, Cura’s expansion is being welcomed by the local communities. B. Sudhakar Hegde, Superintendent of Police (Rtd.), Karnataka State, who has witnessed the changing health landscape firsthand, said: “Changing lifestyles are leading to a rise in heart problems, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. Cura Hospital stands out as the first in South Bangalore to offer world-class facilities that truly cater to the needs of our rural communities.”
