At the 15th Asia Pacific Symposium on Cochlear Implants & Related Sciences (APSCI 2025), Dr. Shree Rao presented a significant research milestone aimed at bridging the gap between clinical settings and home based care. The study titled Extending Cochlear Implant Care Beyond the Clinic Correlating Advanced Bionics (AB) Listen Fit App Outcomes with Standard Audiological Measures explores how digital innovation can simplify post surgical follow up. By validating the accuracy of app based results against traditional audiological measures, the research demonstrates a sustainable model for tele audiology that prioritizes patient accessibility and remote monitoring.
The findings highlight how the Advanced Bionics (AB) Listen Fit app provides a time efficient and reliable alternative for patients in rural or underserved regions who may struggle with regular hospital visits. This digital approach allows for consistent self monitoring and ensures that long term care remains manageable within the daily routine of a patient. Through continued collaboration with industry partners like Advanced Bionics, Dr. Shree Rao remains dedicated to integrating advanced technology with empathetic care to improve life after surgery. This progress reinforces the ongoing mission to create a deaf free India by ensuring that every recipient has the tools necessary for a successful hearing journey.
