Women’s empowerment is a priority in France’s cooperation with India.”

The Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) sector has witnessed remarkable acceleration, underscoring the imperative for a nurturing ecosystem to propel its advancement across the nation. Further, the gaming industry is being seen as an important pillar of the economy. This upcoming sector could create lakhs of jobs in the country. India is expected to become one of the world’s leading markets in the gaming industry.

Antara Senior Care, the leading brand in senior care solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its new fall detection and prevention watches. The watches are designed to help seniors stay safe and independent by providing 24/7 emergency help and fall detection features.

The launch of these watches coincides with Fall Prevention Day today. Falls are a major health concern for seniors and the risk of falling increases with age. Studies suggest that the prevalence of falls among older adults in India is estimated to be around 26% to 37%, with the pooled prevalence being around 31%.⁽¹⁾ Globally, 38 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are lost due to falls, with injuries due to falls being considered unpreventable and significantly high. ⁽²⁾

With its advanced fitness tracking, the AGEasy ‘Empower’ smartwatch enables seniors to prevent and detect incidences of fall and stay connected to their loved ones. The smartwatch is equipped with advanced fall detection technology that uses motion sensors to detect when a user has fallen. If there is a fall and user does not move or respond within a certain timeframe, the watch will automatically dial the emergency contacts. The fall-detection watch also has two-way voice and video calling so that the wearer can make calls with loved ones directly from the watch.

In addition to fall detection, the watch also has advanced live location tracking and geo fencing. The watch can also track the wearer’s Heart Rate, Body Temperature, Blood Pressure and Blood Oxygen level, real time. Caregivers can also call the wearer’s watch anytime, using a regular cellular network without requiring a separate cell phone.

Antara Senior Care has collaborated with LifeQ, a US company that has developed this wearable device. LifeQ has been conducting research on fall management for over a decade now. Antara Senior Care plans to launch an advanced version of a smartwatch that will predict falls, in partnership with LifeQ soon. This smartwatch will be a game-changer in the world of wearables. It will come with a fall-risk assessment feature, providing an accurate and up-to-date understanding of an individual’s fall risk status. The watch will monitor physiological parameters and activity levels, creating a unique health pattern for each wearer. It can predict fall risk and prevent falls thereby providing peace of mind to users who are concerned about the safety of their loved ones.

Commenting on the milestone, Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, “We are thrilled to launch our new fall prevention and detection smartwatch on World Fall Prevention Day. Our mission is to help seniors stay safe and independent, and the watch is an important tool in achieving that goal. Empowered by cutting-edge technology and fuelled by empathy, our objective is to provide the most holistic and trustworthy solution for the worrying issue of falls among seniors. We believe that by providing seniors with the right technology, we can help them live their best lives.”

The AGEasy ‘Empower’ smart watch is available for purchase on the AGEasyByAntara website and on Amazon India.

A true milestone has been achieved for AFA’s international expansion, opening new opportunities in a strategic market like India. This agreement allows our Association to consolidate its leadership position in the world football environment. We welcome Tata Gluco+ as the first division of TATA to be part of our family.”

Mr. Vikram Grover, Managing Director, NourishCo Beverages Limited, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, “We are delighted to be regional sponsors of the Argentine world champion team, which features exceptional players such as Lionel Messi, Angel Di María and Enzo Fernandez. Football transcends national borders and cultural differences, and our collaboration with the Argentine Football Association underscores our commitment to delivering distinctive products and experiences that resonate with consumers around the world. This represents the convergence of rich histories and global recognition. This association not only celebrates the team’s prowess but also aligns with TATA’s ethos of delivering innovative, high-quality products that meet the aspirations of Indian consumers.”

Leandro Petersen, Commercial and Marketing Director at AFA, said, “This regional sponsorship with TATA is a reflection of AFA’s hard work in the global expansion of the brand. After identifying key markets such as China and the Middle East, India was one of the most important countries for our Association. After this partnership, Tata Gluco+ sports drink will now be closer to Argentine football players and we thank a historic and iconic brand like TATA for this opportunity. AFA and TATA will jointly develop commercial and marketing actions that increase the synergy and power of our brands in India. Through this agreement with Tata Gluco+, we are achieving a valuable objective of entering a new and important market with a leading brand.”

The introduction of TGP Sports Drink celebrates this monumental partnership, offering consumers a refreshing and invigorating energy drink infused with the spirit of Argentine football.

અમદાવાદ: અમદાવાદ શહેરમાં 22મી માર્ચે ઘૂંટણ, હિપ અને શોલ્ડરની જોઈન્ટ રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ સર્જરીના ક્ષેત્રમાં વર્ષની સૌથી મોટી મેડિકલ એક્સ્ટ્રાવેગેન્ઝા જોવા મળી હતી. ભારતમાં સૌપ્રથમવાર, દેશના તમામ ભાગોમાંથી 150 ઓર્થોપેડિક સર્જનો એકત્ર થયા અને 3D ટેક્નોલોજી અને હોલોલેન્સ 2નો ઉપયોગ કરીને જોઈન્ટ રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ સર્જરી કરવા માટે અત્યાધુનિક ટેક્નોલોજીસાથે’હેન્ડ્સ ઓન’ તાલીમ મેળવી, જે એકસાથે કામ કરે છે જે તમામ પ્રકારના ઘૂંટણ અથવા હિપ રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ માટે સર્જન માટે અત્યંત ચોકસાઇ આપે છે.આ કાર્યક્રમનું આયોજન Arthro3d ઇનોવેટર દ્વારા કરવામાં આવ્યું હતું, જે ભારતમાં 3D ટેક્નોલોજી (Kne3wiz MR)ના શોધક અને ઇવોલ્યુટિસ છે.ફ્રેન્ચ કંપની જે ઇમ્પ્લાન્ટ્સના ઉત્પાદનમાં છે.

બે સૌથી વરિષ્ઠ ઓર્થોપેડિક સર્જનો, ડૉ. મનીષ શાહ (શાહ હોસ્પિટલ્સના ચેરમેન, અમદાવાદ) અને પ્રોફેસર થોમસ ગ્રેગરી (ફ્રાન્સના શોલ્ડર રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ સર્જન)એ તેમના અનુભવો શેર કર્યા અને ઉપસ્થિત તમામ ઓર્થોપેડિક સર્જનોને આવી સર્જરીમાં થ્રીડી ટેકનોલોજીના ફાયદા જણાવ્યા હતા.

સાંધા બદલવાની પ્રક્રિયા આજકાલ ખૂબ જ સામાન્ય છે અને તે શસ્ત્રક્રિયા પછી દર્દીઓને જીવનની સારી ગુણવત્તા પુરી કરવાના વચન સાથે રજૂ કરવામાં આવે છે. આ દેશમાં દર વર્ષે લાખો દર્દીઓ કૃત્રિમ ઘૂંટણ, હિપ અથવા ખભાના પ્રત્યારોપણની મદદથી લાભ મેળવીને સારવાર મેળવે છે અને સર્જરી દ્વારા તેમના જૂના સાંધાને બદલીને તેમની ગતિશીલતામાં વધારો કરે છે, અને તે જ સમયેથી સાંધાના દુખાવાથી છુટકારો મેળવે છે.

જેમ જેમ જોઈન્ટ રિપ્લેસમેન્ટની લોકપ્રિયતા વધતી ગઈ તેમ તેમ ટેક્નોલોજીની પ્રગતિ પણ ઝડપ સાથે મેચ થતી જોવા મળી. મોટે ભાગે દર્દીના સાંધાના એક્સ-રેના આધારે મોટાભાગના સર્જનો દ્વારા સાંધા બદલવાની શસ્ત્રક્રિયા પરંપરાગત રીતે કરવામાં આવે છે. “Kne3wiz MR” એ આ ક્ષેત્રની અત્યાધુનિક ટેક્નોલોજી છે જેમાં સર્જનોને ઉચ્ચતમ ચોકસાઇ સાથે હિપ, ઘૂંટણ અને ખભા બદલવાની શસ્ત્રક્રિયાઓને આવરી લેવાઇ છે. ટેક્નોલોજી સર્જનને રોબોટમાં રૂપાંતરિત કરે છે અને તેને ઓપરેશન હાથ ધરવા માટે તમામ જરૂરી માહિતીનું માર્ગદર્શન આપે છે. આ કિસ્સામાં શસ્ત્રક્રિયાનું આયોજન એ મુખ્ય શબ્દ છે, જે સંપૂર્ણ છે અને તેથી જ તે દર્દીઓ માટે સારી ગુણવત્તાના પરિણામને વધારે છે.

અમદાવાદArthro3D LLP શાહ હોસ્પિટલના વરિષ્ઠ ઓર્થોપેડિક સર્જન ફાઉન્ડર અને ચેરમેન ડૉ. મનીષ શાહે જણાવ્યું હતુંકેભારતમાં આ પ્રકારની પ્રથમ મેડિકલ ઈવેન્ટનું આયોજન કરવા બદલ અમે રોમાંચિત છીએ. સંયુક્ત રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ સર્જરીમાં મિક્સ રિયાલિટી અને HoloLens 2 ટેક્નોલોજીનો ઉપયોગ એ ગેમ-ચેન્જીંગસાબિત થઇ શકે છે અને અમે અમારા અનુભવો અને જ્ઞાનદેશભરના અમારા સાથીદારો સાથે શેર કરવા માટે ઉત્સાહિત છીએ.”

Kne3wiz MR ટેક્નોલોજીની પ્રક્રિયા દર્દીના સાંધાના સાદા સીટી સ્કેનથી શરૂ થાય છે જે પછી 3D મોડલમાં રૂપાંતરિત થાય છે અને સર્જન દ્વારા વાસ્તવિક સર્જરીના એક દિવસ પહેલા સર્જીકલ આયોજન કરવામાં આવે છે. તેથી સર્જનોને સાંધાની શરીરરચના વિષે બરાબર ખબર હોય છે, દર્દી માટે કયા પ્રકારનું અથવા કેવા પ્રકારનું પ્રત્યારોપણ યોગ્ય રહેશે તે વિષે માહિતી હોય છે. Kne3wiz MR સર્જનને સર્જરી દરમિયાન સર્જન દ્વારા પહેરવામાં આવતા હોલોલેન્સ 2 (એક પહેરી શકાય તેવું ઉપકરણ) તેનો ઉપયોગ કરીને તેની આંખોની સામે સર્જરીનું સમગ્ર આયોજન જોવામાં પણ મદદ કરે છે. તેમજ હાડકાંને કાપવામાં અને ઇમ્પ્લાન્ટને યોગ્ય સ્થિતિમાં મૂકવા માટે સર્જન માટે માર્ગદર્શક તરીકે કામ કરે છે. આ અત્યાધુનિક ટેક્નોલોજી સર્જનો તેમજ દર્દીઓને લાભ કરશે અને એકંદરે સુખાકારીને અસર કરશે. ફ્રાન્સના વરિષ્ઠ ઓર્થોપેડિક સર્જન પ્રોફેસર થોમસ ગ્રેગરીએ જણાવ્યું હતું કે, “આ ઇવેન્ટ ભારતમાં જોઈન્ટ રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ સર્જરીના ક્ષેત્ર માટે ગેમ-ચેન્જર બનવાનું વચન આપે છે, કારણ કે અમે અગાઉ પણ જોઈન્ટ રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ સર્જરી પછી દર્દીના પરિણામો પર તેની પોઝિટીવ અસર જોઈ છે.”

વર્કશોપમાં ભારતભરના 150 થી વધુ સર્જનોએ ભાગ લીધો હતો અને તેમાંથી મોટા ભાગનાએ સર્જીકલ અભિગમ પર હાથ વડે જે શિક્ષણ મેળવ્યું છે તેના પ્રત્યે કૃતજ્ઞતા વ્યક્ત કરી હતી.
