Bangalore: Medlife, India’s largest e-health company with three business verticals including pharmacy, diagnostics and e-consultation, has launched an integrated campaign called #BecauseHeartMatters ahead of World Heart Day. As part of the campaign, they have tied up with Facebook to launch an augmented reality (AR) filter (http://bit.ly/BecauseHeartMatters) to help people understand the technique of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an engaging and interactive manner.
Medlife aims to reach out to over 35 million Indians through the interactive filter. The campaign is currently trending on Facebook as #BecauseHeartMatters. Medlife is also physically training over 2000 people across 50 corporates in 5 metro cities on the CPR in association with leading national NGO the Heart Care Foundation of India (HCFI).
Speaking about this, Ms Meera Iyer, Chief Marketing Officer, Medlife, said, “The online and offline digital campaign is aimed at educating people on the importance of CPR in saving a life during a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Heart diseases have emerged as the leading cause of death in India and the need of the hour is to generate awareness on timely diagnosis and management. The #BecauseHeartMatters initiative is in line with Medlife’s vision of improving health outcomes for a billion Indians by making healthcare simple, accessible and personal.”
