The system is now approved for expanded use in earlier-stage heart failure patients and is rolling out in the U.S. and select international markets, with clinical evidence showing significant reductions in heart failure hospitalizations compared to standard care.
Apex Group of Hospitals has appointed Dr. Trupti Patel as Group Chief Operating Officer, marking a significant addition to its leadership bench amid plans for continued expansion and operational excellence. The decision was formally announced on January 27, 2026, following a rigorous selection process that recognised Dr. Patel’s proven track record in scaling healthcare operations, improving clinical outcomes, and implementing technology-enabled processes in multi-location hospital settings.
