CAMTech Innovation Award Winning Paediatric Emergency Specialist with STEP Fellowship, Developmental Neurology Diploma and Digital Health Expertise

Paediatric emergency medicine is a sub specialty where the combination of formal emergency fellowship training, developmental assessment capability, and systems-level thinking about how care is delivered creates a profile that goes well beyond routine paediatric practice.

Dr Srinivas' pathway brings together five sequential training stages: DCH from the Institute of Child Health, Madras Medical College, Chennai (one of South India's apex paediatric institutions), DNB Paediatrics at Manipal Hospital, Postgraduate Diploma in Developmental Neurology from Kerala University, and FPEM (Fellowship in Paediatric Emergency Medicine) at Manipal Hospital accredited by STEP — alongside his role as Founding Member of the IAP Paediatric Emergency Medicine Chapter.

His National Award for Innovation in Medical Device Innovation at Jugaadathon 2016 (CAMTech) reflects a dimension genuinely unusual among paediatricians — active innovation in medical device design and healthcare systems. His subsequent role as Clinical Strategy Lead at Mfine designing AI-assisted tele-triage and telemedicine protocols, alongside his Organising Secretary role at NAPEM 2024 (National Paediatric Emergency Conference) and NASSCOM speaker engagement on digital health, further extend his profile into health technology and systems innovation.

His selection among Best Paediatricians in South India by India Today / Outlook Health Survey in 2024 and 2025 provides independent media validation. Combined with multilingual practice in English, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil, this combination of paediatric emergency expertise, developmental neurology assessment, and health technology innovation is now offered through Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road.
