Rare diseases affect millions, yet limited patient numbers and fragmented data can make research and clinical trials challenging. A new perspective by Dr. Alok Bhattacharya and Dr. Gayatri Saberwal explores how India could take inspiration from the Amul cooperative model to create a Patient Data Collective bringing together patient records, genetic information and real-world experiences [...]

Every day, wastewater carries biological signatures from entire populations, offering a unique opportunity to detect infectious diseases before they are reflected in hospitals or clinics. Unlike traditional surveillance, wastewater captures information from both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, making it an unbiased, cost-effective way to monitor population health. Bengaluru has emerged as one of Asia's first [...]
