Ayurveda has an enormous potential for innovation but that requires an extensive technology-based research and a concrete roadmap to make it a global brand and its products effective and successful, said experts at the 9th World Ayurveda Congress (WAC) here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are great possibilities of innovations in Ayurveda. There are challenges to develop techniques more advanced than supercomputers. We will have to work on those areas of computing which have not been heard of,\u201d Padma Bhushan Vijay Bhatkar said, while chairing a plenary session on ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurs in Ayurveda’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anirudha Joshi, who is credited with developing award-winning ‘Nadi Tarangini’, an Artificial Intelligence-based instrument for pulse-reading, said he was envisaging developing wearable devices that could provide vital information about the human body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt will be very helpful if we can develop wearables which can do ‘Astha-vidha-pariksha’. Our vision is to go into prediction of different stages of a disease so that we can defer a disease if we cannot prevent it,” he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his concluding remarks, Mr. Bhatkar said, \u201cThere is a need to develop new devices like `Nadi Tarangini\u2019. We will have to think of ways of marketing, packaging, advertising our products and how they can be shown to the world.\u2019\u2018 According to Kartikeya Baldva, CEO, Ixoreal Biomed Inc, Ayurveda, a traditional wellness system, had finally arrived but there was still a long way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is very important to ensure the success of products but that would require quality, efficacy, branding, marketing and innovation,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ajit Kolatkar, Founder- Director of Pune- based Gastrolab India Pvt Ltd, said Ayurveda had to move in such a fashion that a doctor could diagnose the ailments of a patient by using minimum devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
”We will have to start with fundamental research from\u00a0Ayurvedic perspective. There has to be a concrete roadmap. There is a need to revisit Ayurveda in the context of contemporary science,” he said, adding there were many key areas where Ayurveda could contribute significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rishabh Chopra, founder of Ayurveda Experience, an Ayurvedic health and wellness platform, said ‘Ashwagandha’ had now become a popular product in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there were several challenges to make\u00a0Ayurvedic\u00a0products globally acceptable. He also said Ashwagandha, turmeric and Yoga were some of the most online\u00a0searched words in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
