happening in this convergence around the world is that digital health is becoming
not just for India to leap frog but for the word to augment and enhance its
healthcare reach. If we look at the potential of biotech to furthering science
and research we see Bengaluru has proved to be an innovation leader going by
the companies which has established research hubs here”, said Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, chairperson, Vision Group on Karnataka and
CMD Biocon.
The latest development is the approval of a digital tablet by US FDA which actually has in-built sensors to track how the table is absorbed and how it acts in the body.
Today
biotech in India is a US$ 42 billion industry aiming to be US$ 100 billion by
2025. This is a sector which cuts across healthcare, agriculture, industrial
biotechnology and information technology. It has generated 100,000 jobs for
scientists and engineers across the country.
