Rise of Remote Healthcare
Technology plays a vital role in remote care.
Many providers have built remote or smart ICUs due to severe shortages of intensive care staff in hospitals during the pandemic.
This facility allowed them to serve more patients in simultaneously.
Small towns and rural areas still lack such facilities, but remote care technology holds the answer to bridge this existing gap during future crises.
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is changing the nation’s healthcare system for the better.
IoMT is the collection of medical devices and applications that connect to healthcare IT systems through online computer networks.
IoMT devices that are Bluetooth enabled can transmit all essential clinical data to the consulting physician in real-time.
The setup closely mimics face-to-face consultation and helps the treating physician make appropriate clinical decisions down the line of treatment.
AI and predictive analytics support many of these IoMT tools that help predict a patient’s likely future condition based on longitudinal (periodic) data.
Such tools are helpful in preventive medicine and wellness, especially in providing healthcare in neglected areas.
According to McKinsey’s latest report, telehealth will be a quarter-trillion-dollar industry post COVID. This report also says that the use of telehealth has increased 38-fold from the pre-COVID baseline.
The industry is further projected to reach USD 10.6 billion in India by 2025.
These systems can improve the consumer experience, quality, accessibility, affordability, and outcomes.
Remote Healthcare for Rural India
Virtual consultations are not enough in small towns and villages.
These should be complemented by physical/OPD counselling so patients can develop more confidence in the care provided.
The physical model also facilitates post-operative care and second opinions for patients in smaller cities, thus eliminating the need to travel to larger metropolises for treatment, saving them time, money, and lost productivity.
Remote care also provides protection from any hospital-acquired infections.
Most Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs) in rural areas lack the necessary equipment and diagnostic expertise needed by the growing population. Technology can bridge this gap.
Innovative start-ups across the nation are providing healthcare services enabled with the latest and most efficient technologies.
Many of the start-ups and companies are being supported by the government itself.
Atal Innovation Mission
Housed in the NITI Aayog has been set up by the Government of India to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in the country.
AIM supports the establishment of new incubation centres called Atal Incubation Centres (AIC).
AIC LMCP Foundation, Gujarat is one such AIC that has incubated a start-up named Rises Analytics Solutions. It is working on high-tech healthcare AI solutions at scale.
It has the vision to bridge the gap between patients and timely medical intervention and to extend diagnostic decision support to healthcare professionals in order to serve patients with efficacy, accuracy, and insights, with innovative technology TRAP (Treatment Response Assessment and Predictions).
It gives chronic and critical care solutions for cancer and pulmonary conditions including COVID-19.
Ziffytech Digital Healthcare has introduced ZiffyHealth. This start-up is incubated at AIC Pinnacle Entrepreneurship Forum, Maharashtra, and is aspiring to evolve a robust and scalable healthcare platform, where all the stakeholders such as patients, doctors, diagnostics, and pharmacies can plugin to have a seamless yet highly secured flow of health data so as healthcare delivery can be far more accessible and affordable.
Volar Alta start-up, incubated at AIC-RNTU (AIC-Rabindranath Tagore University), Madhya Pradesh. Volar Alta is the one-stop shop for drone-based services. They specialize in surveillance, asset inspections, and transportation of medical essentials in rural and hard-to-reach locations using drones, minimizing the time, and ensuring safety. The drones can carry out internal and external inspections to generate meaningful, actionable insights.
