The recent Union Budget 2024 shows that the government wants to use technology to improve healthcare access for everyone. At WeClinic™ Homeopathy, we believe that telemedicine is the future of #healthcare. It has become possible to provide high-quality medical care to patients no matter where they are with new technology. This is very important in India where many people have trouble getting healthcare. With investments in #digital infrastructure and new ideas from companies, we are seeing big changes in how healthcare is delivered. The focus on helping everyone, especially those in underserved areas, means that all citizens can benefit from essential health services. At WeClinic™ Homeopathy, we are using telemedicine to make sure that homeopathic care is available to everyone. We treat over 1,000 patients every day, many of whom come from far away places. Our #teleconsultation center allows patients to talk to our experienced homeopaths from their homes. Whether you live in a big city or a small village, you can get personalized care that is right for you. In the future, we can see many changes happening in the domain. #Telemedicine #FutureOfHealthcare #WeClinic #Homeopathy #DigitalHealth #UnionBudget2024 #HealthcareForAll

How does India deliver “Care” to rural communities through Digital Health? The mission of an ideal Digital Health Solution should be to deliver hospital-grade care, anytime and anywhere across India & the globe. The Solution should enable multiple health screens & deliver high-quality care regardless of whether the rural community has a local Doctor or a trained Nurse or whether they have power or WiFi, etc. While challenges like power & WiFi can be addressed through technology, how does one deliver health screens & diagnostics without the presence of a local Doctor or Nurse? Enter the ASHA Worker. THE most critical “Non-Technology” component of our Digital Health Solution. It is the Asha worker who ensures that all tasks related to creating a patient profile, capturing patient symptoms, and measuring patient vitals, are completed efficiently despite the unavailability of qualified medical professionals. The Asha workers also visit patient’s homes to provide door-to-door care – especially for older patients with mobility issues and for expectant mothers who may not be able to visit a clinic. And finally, there’s an emotional element to delivering good quality “patient care” that cannot be fulfilled by ANY technology, and which is warmly delivered by the Asha worker. The Asha workers also need to be provided with a digital health solution that has advanced telemedicine capabilities but is extremely easy to use. That was the design mantra for the RHEMOS Health Station. India’s smallest & easy-to-use rural care solution. It enables Asha workers to administer 60+ critical vitals, blood/urine & pre-natal tests in village PHCs. The Health Station can also be carried to a patient’s home to deliver high-quality care ensuring huge patient convenience. Once it measures vitals, it transmits test results to App & Cloud to enable remote Doctor interventions & treatment. RHEMOS also works offline if cellular networks are unavailable & enables local health screens and collects test results, which are all transmitted to cloud once the cellular network is restored. It is also designed to work on Battery & Bluetooth to ensure no dependence on power or WiFi. And finally, with the capability to measure 60+ vitals & bio-markers, it can be used by Asha workers to deliver comprehensive primary care, chronic care, prenatal care, NCD & Anaemia detection health camps, etc. In conclusion, it is the Asha workers that define the success of digital health & enable us to connect rural patients with remote doctors for treatment. They reduce our reliance on medical staff and drastically cut care delivery costs. They accelerate rural care implementations, and ensure easy access to affordable and high-quality care in remote and underserved rural communities, which also makes this a massively scalable initiative.
