South India’s First Hospital to Harness Advanced Laser Innovation: Gleneagles Hospital, Kengeri Launches RecoSMA Technology

0

In a monumental stride towards advancing healthcare in South India, Gleneagles Hospital, Kengeri proudly introduces RecoSMA laser technology. This cutting-edge innovation is set to transform patient care by offering precise, non-invasive solutions for rapid wound healing and tissue repair.

Revolutionizing Healthcare with Advanced Laser Technology: Gleneagles Hospitals, Kengeri Introduces RecoSMA for Advanced Wound Healing and Tissue Repair

RecoSMA Laser is poised to redefine wound healing and tissue repair. What sets it apart from conventional methods is its unique mechanism: it initiates tissue repair by gently disturbing cell membranes, nucleus, and cytoplasm, eliminating the need for high-temperature treatments. This groundbreaking technology not only promotes the growth of new cells but also stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, leading to rejuvenated and healthier tissue. Importantly, RecoSMA Laser achieves these results without inducing fibrous tissue growth, preserving the skins natural properties and pigment.

The benefits of RecoSMA Laser extends to both patients and surgeons. Patients can now experience non-invasive treatments without surgical incisions, anesthesia, or hospital admissions thus reducing discomfort and surgical risks. Short treatment sessions accommodate busy schedules, minimizing time commitments. During RecoSMA treatment, patients report minimal discomfort, as the procedure doesnt induce a heat sensation.

Moreover, RecoSMA minimizes damage to the skin or wound surface, fostering healthy tissue formation and lowering the risk of complications. Its versatility enables the treatment of various skin conditions, including varicose veins, acne scars, burn scars, surgery scars, and psoriasis, offering multiple treatment options in a single platform. Importantly, RecoSMA is cost-effective compared to certain surgical procedures, increasing accessibility for a wider range of patients.

For surgeons, RecoSMA represents a leap forward in precision. It allows for the precise targeting of damaged tissue areas, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding healthy tissue and more accurate treatment of patients specific conditions. RecoSMAs versatility extends to diverse medical and cosmetic procedures, providing surgeons with a powerful and adaptable tool.

Patient safety is paramount, and RecoSMA contributes by offering a non-invasive and safe procedure that promotes natural tissue repair without exposure to high temperatures or oxygen. This reduces the risks typically associated with surgical interventions and enhances patient safety.

Dr Smitha Thamaiah, Cluster Medical Directorof Gleneagles Hospitals, Bengaluru, expressed her enthusiasm about RecoSMA, saying, “RecoSMA (Reconstruction by Spatially Modulated Ablation) is a revolutionary new method to repair damaged human tissue. Can be used for various skin issues, cosmetic corrections, non-closing wounds and keloids, and many more benefits. Its noninvasive daycare procedure, without anaesthesia, has quick recovery and healing with little or no discomfort.

Biju Nair, Cluster COO of Gleneagles Hospitals, Bengaluru, expressed his excitement, stating, “We are thrilled to introduce RecoSMA laser technology at our Kengeri facility. RecoSMA elevates patient care with unprecedented precision and comfort, solidifying our commitment to delivering cutting-edge healthcare innovations that truly redefine the future of medicine.

This historic installation of RecoSMA technology at Gleneagles Hospital, Kengeri underscores the hospitals unwavering dedication to introducing cutting-edge technologies that enhance patient care and improve outcomes.

HDFC Pension Launches a First-of-its-kind National Pension System (NPS) Preference Index on the Occasion of NPS Diwas

0

HDFC Pension, one of India’s leading Pension Fund Managers, has been at the forefront in creating consumer awareness amongst Indians about retirement planning using the National Pension System (NPS).

Sriram Iyer, Chief Executive Officer, HDFC Pension

October 1st is marked as NPS Diwas. To coincide with the day, HDFC Pension has launched a first-of-its-kind NPS Preference Index that highlights the preference of NPS amongst different consumer groups.

The NPS is a government-backed retirement savings program designed to provide financial security to Indian citizens during their retirement years. NPS can be subscribed to by any Indian citizen, aged between 18-70 years, on a voluntarily basis.

HDFC Pension commissioned an independent market research specialist, Ipsos for conducting the survey for the NPS Preference Index. The findings are based on a consumer market research study* with 1,801 NPS aware consumers across Tier I/II/III locations in the age cohorts of 30-40 years and 45-55 years.

The objective of the survey was to understand consumer outlook towards retirement and gauge consumer familiarity, appeal and consideration, leading to the ‘NPS Preference Index’ which can be tracked over time.

The survey findings indicate that currently the NPS Preference Index stands at 54 (on a scale of 0 to 100). Hence, it can be concluded that NPS Preference Index is currently at a moderate level and is equally influenced by the three pillars of familiarity, appeal and consideration.

NPS Preference Index improves with increasing income level of the consumers. North region has the highest NPS preference index (57) compared to other regions.

Some other highlights of the report

Even though, on an average, 32 years is considered as an ideal age to start retirement planning, the retirement corpus need is often underestimated. Average ideal retirement corpus of Rs. ~1.3 Cr stated by consumers is observed to be less than 10X of their current annual household income reflecting the need to educate consumers about the recommended levels of retirement corpus

Capital security, tax benefits, and continued income after death are key factors for retirement products. While being a relatively new instrument, NPS ownership is at 24%, with appealing features like tax-free withdrawals, safety (being Government regulated) and benefit for spouse. Tax benefit (80C/80CCD) has a relatively higher appeal (35%) among those enrolled for NPS compared to all consumers (31%)

While tax benefits, peers, and financial advisors trigger NPS purchase, educating people about NPS and its features is critical to drive adoption. It has further been noticed that individuals who have enrolled for NPS feel more confident about their financial health during retirement years. It can thus be said that NPS ownership is a strong indicator of financial preparedness for one’s retirement years.

*Note: This consumer research study was conducted as Face-to-Face personal interviews between Aug-Sep 2023 across 12 cities in India among NCCS A, annual household income above INR 10 lakhs (above INR 7 lakhs for Tier III cities).

Speaking on the launch, Sriram Iyer, Chief Executive Officer, HDFC Pension said, “On the occasion of NPS Diwas, we are pleased to unveil the NPS Preference Index, a report that puts the industry-first spotlight on the National Pension System (NPS). In an age where financial security is paramount, our commitment to empowering individuals for a secure retirement gains unprecedented strength.

National Pension System (NPS) is instrumental to facilitate an income post retirement, making it pivotal for long-term financial security. In India, a significant opportunity exists to boost NPS adoption, which is why there was a need to delve deeper into the intricacies and understand why.

Our pursuit is not limited to mere awareness; it extends to building an earnest understanding of NPS among individuals, which is why we worked further ahead to present the NPS Preference Index’, a powerful metric derived from three broad aspects that delve into familiarity, appeal and consideration for NPS.”

HDFC Pension is the fastest growing legacy Pension Fund Manager in India, under Retail and Corporate NPS segments with the highest number of subscribers (16,92,504 as on September 1st 2023). HDFC Pension has crossed the milestone of Rs. 50,000 cr. of Assets Under Management (AUM) on May 15th 2023 and has been awarded as the Best Performing PFM by Money Today for 3 consecutive years from 2019 to 2022.
