Mysuru: A Mysuru-based Neurologist, Dr Shushrutha Gowda, is providing real-time neurological care to patients located more than 15,000 km away in the United States through an advanced tele-neurology network.

Working from his clinic in Mysuru, Dr Gowda manages a wide range of neurological conditions, including routine consultations as well as medical emergencies such as acute ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, and subarachnoid haemorrhage.

According to the Daily, Dr Gowda is among a small group of Indian super-specialists offering tele-neurology services to patients in the United States. Every month, he devotes nearly 130 hours to providing emergency neurological consultations to hospitals across four central US states—Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

A neurologist with his vast experience in clinical neurology, research, and academic background, serves as the Managing Director of NeuroZone. His leadership skills are demonstrated by his stint as Associate Program Director-Neurology Residency and Neurovascular (Stroke) Fellowship-University of Florida; Stroke Director-University of New Mexico Hospitals; Stroke Director- Baptist Health Floyd, New Albany, Indiana, among others.

Dr Gowda pursued his MBBS from BLDE Medical College, Vijayapura, and migrated to the United Kingdom in 2002. He again moved to the US in 2005 to complete his neurology residency at the University of Florida. He started his career as the director (stroke) of the University of New Mexico and subsequently was appointed at Baptist Health, Kentucky, before returning to India in 2019.
