Global biopharmaceutical major AstraZeneca has collaborated with IT industry body Nasscom’s IoT Centre of Excellence for setting up an accelerator programme to support Indian start-ups develop new innovative solutions to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) care in the country.
As part of this collaboration, AstraZeneca and Nasscom will be incubating start-ups to bring innovative and frugal solutions that can help in the management of NCDs.
Leif Johansson, AstraZeneca PLC Chairman of the Board, said, "Best healthcare that can be provided and developed comes from cooperation across borders between industry, government and academia in a way that we, with the help of technology, can provide a higher-quality service at a lower cost."
"We are pleased to collaborate with the government, start-up eco-system and industry partners to achieve the shared vision of making meaningful interventions in improving the lives of patients impacted by non-communicable diseases in India," Johansson added.
