Dozee Shravan – Al-Powered Remote Parent Health Monitoring Service Launched For NRIS

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Enabling NRIs to remotely monitor their parents’ health with real-time alerts for early detection of any critical health deterioration

Bangalore, India October 08, 2024: Dozee, India’s Health Al leader, has unveiled Dozee Shravan, a clinical-grade Al-powered Remote Parent Monitoring (RPM) service. Monitoring a parent’s health while living overseas is a significant concern for the Indian diaspora. Dozee Shravan now enables families abroad to regularly track their parents health in India. Dozee’s Al-powered, contactless remote health monitoring technology is designed for seamless use by the elderly. The health data is securely shared with both families and healthcare providers. Dozee’s continuous health monitoring and real-time alerts help detect subtle deviations in vital parameters, ensuring timely medical intervention. As India’s No. 1 Remote Patient Monitoring company, Dozee is trusted by over 280 leading hospitals across the country.

For millions of NRIs, distance from ageing parents in India poses critical health management challenges. Existing support systems-occasional check-ins, help from relatives and neighbours, and limited telemedicine-offer limited reassurance and often fail during emergencies. The lack of effective early detection mechanisms leads to poor health outcomes, as manageable conditions are overlooked until it’s too late. Currently available solutions frequently fall short; many elderly individuals find them uncomfortable or forget to use, charge, or maintain them. Real-time, continuous data monitoring and alerting is another gap that must be addressed. This underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive, clinically proven, real-time monitoring solution that is accurate, dependable, and user-friendly-empowering families to care for their loved ones from afar while adhering to international standards of data security and privacy.

Dozee’s Shravan addresses this gap by offering continuous, contactless monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and sleep patterns. Built on Al-powered Ballistocardiography, the system uses advanced Al algorithms to analyze biomarkers and provide timely alerts for any deviations, reducing the risk of health emergencies and enabling timely medical intervention. The technology is US FDA-cleared and adheres to international standards for data privacy. Health data can be accessed via a user-friendly mobile app, ensuring that NRIs stay connected to their parents’ health 24/7, regardless of distance.

Already a trusted partner of more than 280 hospitals across India, the USA, and Africa, Dozee has emerged as a beacon of ‘Made in India Health Al, delivering global impact. With Shravan, Dozee enters a new chapter, offering NRIs clinical-grade solutions to manage the health of their elderly parents in India.

Key Features of Shravan:

1 Contactless, Continuous Monitoring:

• Al-based monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, respiration rate, non contact blood pressure and sleep patterns without the need for wearables, ensuring elderly parents experience minimal disruption.

2. Real-Time Alerts and Notifications:

Immediate notifications sent to both NRIs and healthcare providers in India in case of deviations from health parameters, enabling timely interventions.

3. Seamless Integration with Healthcare Providers:

Collaboration with top hospitals in India ensures that parents have access to top-notch healthcare services, from regular consultations to emergency interventions.

4 Proactive Health Management:

• Monthly reports and trend analysis, allow NRIs to track their parents’ health patterns over time and make informed decisions.

5. Ease of Use:

• With its simple and user-friendly interface, Shravan is designed to be easily adopted by elderly users without interrupting their daily lives.

“Shravan embodies the essence of parental care in Indian culture. Caring for our parents is deeply rooted in our society. While the Indian diaspora continues to make us proud globally, managing their parents’ health from afar remains a major concern. With Dozee Shravan, NRIS can now be reassured that their parents in India are continuously monitored and cared for, allowing them more quality time and peace of mind.” said Mudit Dandwate, CEO & Co- Founder, Dozee.

As India’s No. 1 remote patient monitoring and early warning system solution company, Dozee’s technology has already proven its value in hospital settings, from helping hospitals achieve Zero Code Blue events to reducing ICU admissions by up to 50%. Dozee has revolutionized how healthcare providers respond to patients in need, with its Early Warning System enabling timely medical interventions for enhanced patient safety and improved clinical outcomes.

Lakhs of Small Shopkeepers in Karnataka Unite to Vehemently Oppose Government’s Bid to Introduce License Raj in State Through Draconian Laws

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

*  Over 2.0 Lakh retailers to continue protests across the state

* The proposed License Raj law will impact 2 lakh plus small retailers, their families; have a bearing on 10 lakh people

* Small shopkeepers are already fighting a huge battle for survival against supermarkets , multi-national companies and high inflation

Bengaluru 08 October 2024: More than 2,00,000 small shopkeepers under the aegis of the Karnataka State Retail Beedi-Cigarette Merchants Association, which represents the Karnataka Chapter of the Federation of Retailer Association of India (FRAI), have been protesting across the state against various Municipal bodies bid to introduce ‘License Raj’. This is despite earlier assurance given by the government and authorities that the proposal for License Raj will be dropped and harassment against small traders would not be allowed.

The aggrieved retailers have been holding demonstrations in Mysuru, Hubli, Mangalore, Vijayapur among other cities, to voice their opposition against the proposed implementation of licensing regulation, despite earlier assurances against the same which will make it impossible for them to sustain their families. Shopkeepers in large numbers gathered in Bangalore today to carry out a demonstration against the draconian law.

“License Raj” Impact on Small Retailers

Harassment of poor and uneducated micro retailers by enforcement officials at a time when the former have already losing income to organised Big Retail Chains and Super Markets.

Sharp increase in the cost of doing business.

Adverse effects on the livelihoods of small retailers who will not be able to afford extra spending for getting a license or renew a license to sell tobacco products.

Shift in tobacco retailing business to foreign companies/supermarkets/malls, hurting livelihoods of small shopkeepers.

The Karnataka State Retail Beedi-Cigarette Merchants Association strongly believes that the proposed regulation will be devastating for lakhs of small traders and their family members, who have already suffered humungous financial setbacks in the last couple of years and are barely managing to sustain livelihood in the given the high inflationary condition. It is to reemphasize that too many tobacco laws will only increase the scope of harassments and corruption by enforcement officials.The Association is a body of over 2 lakh micro, small and medium retailers from across Karnataka, It also represents the livelihood of over 10 lakh poorest of the poor retailers and their families and is known for raising issues concerning their lives and livelihoods

Explaining the concerns around the proposed draconian “License Raj” proposals, Mr. B. N. Murali Krishna, President, Karnataka State Retail Beedi-Cigarette Merchants Association, said, “On account of the provisions of the Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution Act, 2003, COTPA, our members are already being subjected to daily harassment by enforcement officials, who take advantage of their illiteracy and lack of awareness to extract gratifications. As per the proposed laws, tobacco product sellers will have to get a license, which will be renewed every year, in addition to that, multiple obligations on the part of the retailers, such as the display of license and maintenance of a suggestion book, along with heavy penalties in case of non-compliance, are being proposed.”

The Association believes that such measures will cause massive harassment to lakhs of poor and mostly uneducated micro retailers at the hands of enforcement officials. It will also lead to a sharp increase the cost of doing business at a time when retailers are reeling under the aftermaths of the Covid pandemic.

Mr. Murali Krishna added that based on the past experience with other laws, the very act of getting a license will be challenging for small sellers, who do not have the money to pay the fees and are not educated enough to complete the paperwork required for licensing. “More laws will also mean more opportunities for local officials to harass our members. Our Hon’ble Prime Minister and Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka have taken several important measures to simplify processes for trading in Karnataka in the true spirit of ‘ease of doing business’ and ‘promotion of entrepreneurship. However, the Urban Development Ministry and Municipal Corporation’s proposal to make licences mandatory for trading in tobacco products through the proposed laws its draconian clauses is in complete contradiction with the Prime Minister and Chief Minister’s vision for the state.”

If one reads the proposed Municipal orders and circulars then it is very clear that the only objective behind this exercise is to cause hardships to small shopkeepers. The members of the Karnataka State Retail Beedi-Cigarette Merchants Association belong to the lowest economic strata of society. It will be impossible for them to afford extra spends for licenses and renewals.

The Association demands that the state government must provide alternate means of livelihood to its members before implementing such draconian License Raj rules, which will surely result in a loss of income for lakhs of traders. It has further claimed that its members sustain their livelihood by selling goods of daily needs like biscuits, soft drinks, mineral water, bidi, cigarettes, etc. The average earnings of a small and marginal trader is about Rs 6,000-12000 per month which is barely adequate to feed two square meals a day to an entire family. Such regressive laws being proposed will further derail their businesses and earnings.

The Association is shocked to see that the Government of Karnataka, instead of supporting small retailers, is trying to implement laws that will deal a deadly blow to them. It is of the view that the proposed licensing law for selling tobacco products is being brought/proposed because of pressure from anti-tobacco NGOs with vested interests. The development will only support shifting of tobacco retailing business to foreign companies/supermarkets/malls, hurting livelihoods of lakhs of small shopkeepers of Karnataka.

India already has one of the toughest anti-tobacco laws in the world, which includes 85% graphic health warnings on packets, no sale to minors, public smoking ban, no sale within 100 yards around educational institutions, etc. The_Association strongly believes that the existing provisions under COTPA 2003 for tobacco control/trade are more than sufficient for regulating tobacco products. Therefore, there is absolutely no need to introduce any new regulation.

The Karnataka State Retail Beedi Cigarette Merchants Association humbly request the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka to stand by lakhs of poor, small shopkeepers of the State and his commitment that the License Raj for selling tobacco products will be dropped forever and instead help our members sustain and recover in the given difficult high inflationary market conditions.

ಒಳಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯನ್ನು ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ಜಾರಿಗೆ ತರಲು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ, ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಸೂಕ್ತವಾದ ವಾತಾವರಣವು ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ಒಳಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯ ತೀರ್ಪನ್ನು ಎಸ್‌ಸಿ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯೊಳಗಿನ ಬಹುತೇಕ ಉಪಜಾತಿಗಳು ಸ್ವಾಗತಿಸಿವೆ. ಆದರೂ ಒಂದೆರಡು ಉಪಜಾತಿಗಳು ಕ್ಷೀಣವಾಗಿ ವಿರೋಧ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿವೆ. ಎಸ್‌ಸಿ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯೊಳಗಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜಾತಿಗಳಿಗೆ, ಅವರವರ ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗೆ ಅನುಗುಣವಾಗಿ ಸೂಕ್ತ ಪ್ರಾತಿನಿಧ್ಯ ನೀಡುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ತಕರಾರು ಇರಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ನ್ಯಾ.ಸದಾಶಿವ ಆಯೋಗವು ನಡೆಸಿದ ಅಧ್ಯಯನದ ರೀತಿಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅವರುಗಳು ಅಸಮಾಧಾನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಸಿದ್ಧರಾಮಯ್ಯನವರು ಅವರುಗಳನ್ನು ಚರ್ಚೆಗೆ ಕರೆದು, ಅವರ ಅನುಮಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಶೀಘ್ರವೇ ಪರಿಹರಿಸಬೇಕು. ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ಶಿಲ್ಪಿ ಬಾಬಾಸಾಹೇಬ್ ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್‌ರ 68ನೇ ಪರಿನಿಬ್ಬಾಣದ ದಿನವಾದ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ 6, 2024ರೊಳಗೆ ಸುಪ್ರಿಂಕೋರ್ಟ್ ತೀರ್ಪನ್ನು ಜಾರಿಮಾಡಲು ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾವು ಸರ್ಕಾರವನ್ನು ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.


ಒಳಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ತೀರ್ಪನ್ನು ನೀಡಿದಾಗ. ಮಾನ್ಯ ಸುಪ್ರಿಂಕೋರ್ಟ್ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧೀಶರುಗಳು ಜಾತಿಗಳ ದತ್ತಾಂಶವನ್ನು ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸಿ. ವರ್ಗೀಕರಣವನ್ನು ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನಕ್ಕೆ ತರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇತರೆ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂತಹ ದತ್ತಾಂಶ ಸಂಗ್ರಹಣೆ ನಡೆದಿಲ್ಲದಿರಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ. 2015 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಂತರಾಜ ಆಯೋಗವು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕವಾಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜಾತಿಗಳ ದತ್ತಾಂಶ ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸಿ ತನ್ನ ವರದಿಯನ್ನು ನೀಡಿದೆ. ಈ ವರದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಜಾತಿಯ/ಸಮುದಾಯದ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ವಿವರಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯನವರು ಯಾವುದೇ ಒತ್ತಡಕ್ಕೂ ಮಣಿಯದೆ, ಕಾಂತರಾಜ ಆಯೋಗದ ಈ ವರದಿಯನ್ನು ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾವು ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.

ಸನ್ಮಾನ್ಯ ನಾಲ್ವಡಿಕೃಷ್ಣರಾಜ ಒಡೆಯರ್ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನೇಮಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ಮಿಲ್ಲರ್ ಆಯೋಗವು 1921ರಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಡಿದ ವರದಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣೇತರ ಜಾತಿಗಳಿಗೆ 75% ಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯು ಜಾರಿಯಾಯಿತು. ಅಂದು ಆ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಲಾಭ ಪಡೆದ ಒಕ್ಕಲಿಗ, ಅಂಗಾಯಿತ, ರೆಡ್ಡಿ, ನಾಯ್ಡುಗಳು ಇಂದು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಅಧಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಅತ್ಯುನ್ನತ ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಆಕ್ರಮಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಆ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯ ಈ ಫಲಾನುಭವಿಗಳು ಇತರೆ ಹಿಂದುಳಿದ ವರ್ಗಗಳಿಗೆ, ಅಲ್ಪಸಂಖ್ಯಾತರಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಎಸ್‌ಸಿ/ಎಸ್‌ಟಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ನೀಡುವುದನ್ನು ವಿರೋಧಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಜಾತಿ ಜನಗಣತಿಯ ವರದಿಯನ್ನು ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸದಿರಲು ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಅಹಿಂದ ವರ್ಗಗಳ ನಾಯಕರೆನಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಮಾನ್ಯ ಸಿದ್ಧರಾಮಯ್ಯನವರು ಈ ಪ್ರಬಲ ಜಾತಿಗಳ ಯಾವುದೇ ಒತ್ತಡಕ್ಕೂ ಮಣಿಯದೆ. ಈ ತಿಂಗಳೊಳಗೆ ವಿಶೇಷ ಅಧಿವೇಶನವನ್ನು ಕರೆದು ಕಾಂತರಾಜ್ ಆಯೋಗದ ವರದಿಯನ್ನು ವಿಧಾನಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಡಿಸಿ ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸಬೇಕು.

ಒಳಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಜಾರಿ ಮಾಡುವುದನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಕಾಂತರಾಜ್ ಆಯೋಗದ ವರದಿಯನ್ನು ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸುವುದನ್ನು ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳು ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷಿಸಿದರೆ ಆಲ್ ಇಂಡಿಯಾ ಬಹುಜನ ಸಮಾಜ ಪಾರ್ಟಿಯ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ರಾಜ್ಯದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಬೃಹತ್ ಹೋರಾಟವನ್ನು ಹಮ್ಮಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
