Dear Alumni,
Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous New Year.
May the coming New Year 2016 bring many opportunities your way to explore every joy of life and turning all your dreams into reality and all your efforts into great achievements.
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn over the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly… quote by Buddha.
Current scenario of digital era has motivated the health care professionals to access the data and information more easily and improve the quality and outcomes of both health and social care. At present, we are facing the problems of aging population, the rising costs of advanced medical treatments, and constrained social care budgets. Hence, technology enabled care (TEC) is the need of an hour. This TEC as put forth by Deloitte Centre for Health Solutions involves the convergence of health technology, digital media, and mobile devices.
Mobile technology can empower patients and carers by giving them more control over their health and making them less dependent on health care professionals for health information. They can use digital technology to research information online, share experiences, and identify treatment options. There is enormous potential for digital technology to improve many aspects of health, and dentistry is not an exception.
Let us move with zeal toward another exciting year, but being connected with alma matter make it more joyful and memorable by attending the Great Alumni meet to be held in the year 2016.
