Garmin India and Apollo HealthAxis, a subsidiary of Apollo Hospitals, have announced the next phase of their strategic relationship to improve health monitoring, chronic disease management, and overall wellness throughout India. Building on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the Garmin Health Summit 2024, the collaboration has entered a new phase, broadening its reach and reinforcing its commitment to urban and rural healthcare.



In an important step, Apollo's Total Health program's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative is now fully integrated with the Garmin Health API. This integration allows for the deployment of Garmin smartwatches and fitness trackers in rural India to monitor chronic diseases like diabetes. The collaborative research study seeks to determine how continuous health tracking improves health outcomes in underserved communities.



Speaking on the collaboration Mr. Juha Villanen, Head of B2B & Partnerships, Garmin (EMEA Emerging Markets and India), said, “At Garmin, we believe that technology can help advance preventive healthcare. Our collaboration with Apollo HealthAxis is a significant step forward in our efforts to provide actionable, real-time health data that complements clinical expertise. From rural communities to urban professionals, this collaboration will reshape how people in India interact with their health on a daily basis. We are proud to see Garmin's wearable technology contribute to measurable health outcomes, and even more so, to be part of a mission that empowers individuals and communities alike.”



Customers purchasing select Garmin fitness trackers in urban markets now have access to Apollo ProHealth™, a doctor-driven AI program that collects health data, predicts disease risk, and provides personalized lifestyle recommendations. In contrast, select Apollo Health Plans will bundle Garmin wearables with their services, ensuring that users have a seamless health journey.



“At Apollo, we’ve always believed that healthcare should not be confined to hospitals alone — it should reach people wherever they are. This partnership with Garmin is another step in that journey. By bringing together wearable technology with Apollo’s health programs, we can empower individuals to take charge of their own well-being and also reach communities that often get left behind. Our vision is simple — to make healthcare more personal, predictive, preventive and accessible for every Indian, while at the same time we continue to excel in bringing advanced care to as many people as possible around the world”, said Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group.
