TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION: THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TOOLS IN HOLIS-TIC HEALTH

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasises personalised care through Prakriti (individual constitution) and Dosha (physiological energies). The integration of modern technology has led to Digital Ayurveda, combining traditional wisdom with tools like artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine, wearable devices, and mobile applications. Key findings reveal that telemedicine democratizes access to Ayurvedic care, particularly in underserved areas, while AI enhances diagnostics and provides personalised health recommendations. Wearable devices monitor realtime health metrics aligned with Dosha balances, such as heart rate variability and sleep patterns, helping identify imbalances early. Mobile apps offer holistic health guidance, including dietary suggestions, yoga, and meditation practices, empowering individuals to engage proactively with Ayurveda. This technological integration improves accessibility, precision, and preventive healthcare while preserving Ayurveda’s core principles. However, data privacy, authenticity, and regulation must be addressed. Digital Ayurveda represents a transformative step toward modern, holistic healthcare.
