MediVision eye care centre, a trusted NABH accredited super-specialty eye hospital in Hyderabad, is thrilled to announce introduction of the revolutionary iStent Inject and iStent Inject W technology for treatment of glaucoma and cataract patients.

Glaucoma nicknamed the “Silent Thief of Sight” is one of the world’s most common cause of irreversible blindness. Traditional treatment includes use of long-term medication in the form of eyedrops or invasive surgery, both of which have potential side effects and complications. MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) as the name suggest offers a less invasive, safer alternative for treatment of glaucoma, making it more manageable and less cumbersome for patients. iStent Inject is the most cutting edge MIGS, especially benefitting patients with mild to moderate glaucoma, offering freedom from multiple medication.

Benefits of iStent technology for glaucoma patients:

1. High safety profile, less invasive option with minimal alteration of normal anatomy
2. Minimal post operative discomfort, quick recover, fewer complications
3. Advantage of being combined with cataract procedure in a single sitting

Expert Endorsements:

Dr. Rupak Kumar Reddy, senior Cataract surgeon has recently implanted the iStent Inject. He highlights the ease of its use, advantage of no additional incisions and high safety profile.

Dr. Meena Thotakura, Glaucoma consultant and surgeon, also shared her experience with the iStent Inject, stating that it will be a boon for patients, especially those in earlier stages, where they would have had to use lifelong anti glaucoma medications.

October 10, 2024 – On this World Mental Health Day, Psychology World (an ODLQC accredited training portal) has partnered with the Dementia India Alliance (DIA) to launch an online Dementia-Orientation Certificate for Healthcare Professionals, including nurses, physiotherapists, and allied healthcare professionals. As India faces a growing dementia crisis—with 88 lakh individuals currently affected, and projections estimating 1.7 crore by 2036—the launch of this course aims to bridge the critical gap in dementia care training while addressing the often overlooked mental health needs of caregivers.

The emotional and psychological toll of caring for dementia patients has become increasingly apparent. Healthcare workers, often underprepared and untrained in dementia care, experience significant emotional strain while managing challenging symptoms such as aggression, confusion, and memory loss. Without proper training, many professionals report feelings of burnout, stress, and isolation. This silent crisis, which impacts both the quality of care provided and the mental well-being of the caregivers, demands urgent attention.

Dementia-Orientation Certificate for Healthcare Professionals course, developed in collaboration with DIA, is an online, self-paced program designed to equip healthcare workers with the necessary tools to provide compassionate and effective care for dementia patients. The course also incorporates a culturally relevant approach, acknowledging the unique caregiving dynamics within Indian families and communities. In addition to improving care outcomes for dementia patients, the course addresses the mental health struggles faced by caregivers, offering guidance on managing stress and emotional challenges.

“Through this initiative, we hope to empower healthcare professionals with the skills and support they need to manage dementia patients effectively, while also safeguarding their own mental health,” said Dr. Radha S. Murthy, President of Dementia India Alliance.

Shabd Mishra, Founder of Psychology World and Managing Director of Renaissance eServices Ltd., emphasized the importance of accessible, high-quality training: “This interactive, ODLQC-accredited course offers flexibility for busy professionals, allowing them to learn at their own pace. It ensures that healthcare workers across India are better prepared to meet the rising demand for dementia care, while also addressing the silent mental health crisis among caregivers.”

Mr. Shyam V, Secretary of Dementia India Alliance, announced, “Two additional self-paced online courses will soon be launched: one tailored for doctors and medical students, and another focused on creating dementia-friendly hospitals.”

The Dementia Orientation Certificate Course is now available for enrollment on Meducination.com for Indian professionals & students. This initiative marks a significant step in improving dementia care standards in India while supporting the mental health of the healthcare workers who are at the forefront of this growing challenge.

Funds will be utilized for product development, regulatory approvals, scaling partnerships with hospitals, clinics, and rehab centers across India and APAC.

Wundrsight, a digital therapeutics startup focused on revolutionizing mental healthcare through Virtual Reality (VR) technology, has raised $400,000 in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV). Social Alpha, along with other angel investors, also participated in the round. The fresh funds will be used to expand Wundrsight’s hospital and clinic partnerships across India and to accelerate the development of its innovative VR-based mental health solutions.

Founded in 2022, Wundrsight is the first startup in India to develop a Virtual Reality and AI-based therapy platform for managing mental healthcare. The company aims to digitize and standardize mental health therapy, leveraging the immersive capabilities of VR to offer accessible, effective, and personalized care for various mental, behavioral, and neurocognitive conditions, including Substance Use Disorders, OCD, Anxiety, Phobias, Autism, and Dementia. The startup has already received backing from Meta, DLabs at Indian School of Business, IIT Mandi Catalyst, NASSCOM, and other notable organizations.

A Unique Vision for Mental Healthcare

Co-founded by Raunak Swarnkar, CEO, and Nishtha Budhiraja, Chief Medical Officer, Wundrsight is on a mission to address inefficiencies in the current mental healthcare system through technological innovation. Raunak, an IIT Gandhinagar alumnus with over five years of experience in product development across AI/ML, B2B SaaS, and medical devices, has worked with companies like TCS R&D, IBM, and RedSeer Consulting. Nishtha, a psychologist with over 10 years of experience, has treated more than 5,000 patients and holds a degree from the University of Essex. Together, they bring a wealth of expertise in mental health and cutting-edge product development to Wundrsight.

Speaking on the investment, Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner at Inflection Point Ventures, said:

“The mental health crisis is more alarming than ever; solving it with just traditional methods is often limited to accessibility, personalized treatment, and engagement. Many people start therapy but frequently drop off due to ineffective retention and engagement strategies. Wundrsight is at the forefront of addressing these issues by bringing in digital therapeutic and mixed reality technology like Virtual Reality to create personalized, immersive, and effective mental health care experiences. VR augments current solutions, helping to retain and engage users more effectively, ensuring they achieve their results. At IPV, we believe in Wundrsight’s vision to make mental wellness accessible to all through technological innovation.”

Proven Impact with VR-Based Therapy

Wundrsight’s VR-based solutions have demonstrated remarkable results in reducing therapy session times by up to 30%, delivering superior patient outcomes while saving both time and money. The company’s focus on evidence-based practices has led to the successful treatment of over 1,000 patients across multiple mental health conditions. These achievements are supported by CDSCO Registration, ISO certifications, and CTRI-registered clinical trials.

Operating in three metro cities, Wundrsight has already secured contracts with more than five hospitals, with additional partnerships with leading private and government hospitals in the pipeline. The startup offers over six VR therapy products designed to address various mental health challenges, including OCD, Anxiety, Autism, Phobias, and Substance Use Disorders, through clinician-administered therapies.

Looking Ahead: India and Beyond

Wundrsight is poised to play a significant role in the rapidly growing mental health market in India, which is projected to reach a valuation of approximately USD 62.86 billion by 2032, up from USD 6.89 billion in 2023, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.16%. With this funding, the company is set to broaden its impact within India and expand into the APAC region, with plans to enter the US market next.

“We’re at a pivotal moment in mental health care, especially now as innovative software-based medical devices are getting regulatory approvals for prescriptions,” said Raunak Swarnkar, Co-Founder & CEO of Wundrsight. “Hospitals and clinics globally face immense pressure to provide high-quality, scalable mental health services despite a shortage of clinicians. Our VR-based solutions not only reduce the need for medication but also enhance clinician efficiency, allowing for safe, standardized and effective treatments. This funding will help us expand our reach and impact in India and APAC. We look forward to entering the US market next where VR therapy has received CPT codes for reimbursement from insurance providers.”
