Empowering Health Care to Transcend Time and Terrain
A.P. Rango Rao, Chief Advisor, HMRI
Telemedine is an innovative need-based cost-effective point of care technology offering comprehensive telemedicine solutions in rural India. Its aim is to reach the under-serviced rural populations through modules such as tele-ENT, tele-dermatology, tele-medical and surgical consult, tele-cardiology, tele-ophthalmology, rapid diagnosis of diabetes, etc. (HMRI) telemedicine service develops a point of care, user-friendly, cost-effective, integrated multi-functional device for rural telemedicine applications with emphasis on general physician functionality. The disease pattern at the primary health center and sub center level in rural India typically includes conditions such as acute minor ailments, chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, renal disease and COPD), pregnancy and related illness and pediatric illnesses. Since there is a lack of trained physicians, there is a dire need for an "all in one" comprehensive low cost point of care tele-med device which fills the gaps.
