Ancient medicine goes hi-tech

The Med Guru.

According to the Business Standard, the software developed by Pune-based C-DAC combines practices in allopath, ayurveda, homeopathy and yoga.

"Cure@Home is designed as a primitive, preventive and curative solution to the common man," says Medha Dhurndhar, programme co-ordinator at C-DAC, which comes under the central government's Department of Information and Technology.

The C-DAC solution, which attempts to combine the best of Indian medicine systems with modern technology, can be deployed on PCs or at kiosks and can be used at home, clinics, , public places and schools as a healthcare tool, reports Sify News.

The software is currently available in English, Hindi, Assamese and Bengali with plans to integrate other Indian languages in its repository.
