Across India, seasonal influenza and other viral respiratory infections typically see a sharp increase during the colder months and the immediate post-monsoon period. This surge is particularly aggressive among vulnerable demographics, including children, elderly patients, and those with underlying chronic illnesses - which is majority of Indians who are Diabetic/Hypertensive/Hypothyroid/Dyslipidemic. For standalone clinics, this is the most operationally demanding time of th

In the winter of 1854, as bitter winds swept across the Crimean Peninsula, a slender figure moved methodically through the darkened corridors of the Barrack Hospital at Scutari. By the dim light of her lamp, Florence Nightingale made her nightly rounds (and that's why she was called The Lady with the Lamp), tending to wounded British soldiers who lay on filthy floors in overcrowded wards. But while others saw only chaos and suffering, Florence saw something beyond that, a pat

In today’s healthcare environment, delivering quality care is crucial for building patient trust and ensuring better health outcomes. Many clinics in India, especially smaller or standalone ones, might feel that quality standards and certification processes like NABH, JCI, or ISO are too complex or only relevant when planning to scale. However, quality care is essential at every stage of a clinic’s growth. It starts with simple, practical steps that any clinic can implement i

Indian pediatricians as per NMC guidelines require to publish at least 2-4 original papers in indexed journals like PubMed or Scopus. This guide ranks the top 5 open access options by metrics like impact factor, indexing, reach, and citations, helping doctors select venues that enhance career impact and clinical relevance.​

A 15-minute patient encounter is now consuming another 20 minutes of documentation. This scene repeats itself dozens of times a week. You became a doctor to care for patients, not battle administrative systems. This is the reality for most physicians today. But there's a solution: Natural Language Processing (NLP) - an AI technology that understands clinical language the way you do.

In clinical practice, accurately assessing kidney function is foundational for evidence-based medicine, particularly when managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), dosing nephrotoxic drugs, and staging renal impairment. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) serves as the gold standard surrogate for measured GFR, derived from serum creatinine levels adjusted for age, sex, and race.

As a resident, you’ve probably found yourself Googling drug dosage, combinations and brands in the middle of rounds -fully aware that what appears on the screen may not be accurate, updated, or safe to rely on. Prescribing shouldn’t feel like a puzzle- but for most, it often does! You’re expected to remember: Exact drug dosages Safe pediatric doses Critical drug interactions Special precautions for renal or hepatic impairment Whether a drug is safe in pregnancy or lactation A

No one tells you that learning to make clinical decisions begins while you are already making them. In residency, medical knowledge becomes medical judgment. While this judgement is still taking shape, you are required to apply it confidently in real patient care every day. As residents, you are expected to: Review patient progress in minutes Integrate labs, imaging and clinical findings  Decide treatment steps quickly and confidently   Stay updated with evolving medical evid

Healthcare professionals across the globe are witnessing a paradigm shift in clinical  decision-making as artificial intelligence reshapes patient care. The success of this  transformation hinges on the development of tools that not only leverage cutting-edge  technology but also uphold the sacred trust between clinicians and their patients.  At Augsidius Health, we believe that the creators of AI-powered clinical tools bear a  profound responsibility to maintain the highest

Artificial Intelligence is transforming global healthcare, but is it truly designed for India? A renowned radiologist recently flagged a worrying pattern: AI imaging systems, built and trained on Western datasets, often mistake harmless artifacts in Indian X-rays as signs of disease. What’s normal in our context is misread as pathology by tools trained on Pristine Western scans. This raises a critical question: Are we using the right AI for Indian patients, or are we trying t

Medicine is advancing faster than ever. Every week, thousands of new studies are published, each adding to the growing body of medical knowledge. Yet, an average doctor has just five minutes with each patient. In that short time, it’s nearly impossible to process such vast amounts of information, recall every guideline and make confident, life-saving decisions. This creates a critical gap between available evidence and clinical practice. Many decisions end up relying more on

The year was 1747, and aboard the HMS Salisbury, a desperate situation was unfolding. The British naval vessel had been at sea for weeks, and a familiar horror was spreading through the crew. Men who had been hearty and strong now lay in agony - their gums bleeding and swollen, teeth loosening in their jaws, skin covered with dark bruises, and wounds that refused to heal. The smell of death lingered in the cramped quarters below deck. Scurvy was claiming its victims, as it ha
