  • India: Tamil Nadu: ‘Click clinics’: Consult specialist online for care

    Traffic jams, parking woes and crowded, smelly hospital consultation rooms making you put off that much-needed trip to the doctor? Enter the era of virtual consultation rooms, a fast flourishing means of contacting your doctor over the Internet, built on the premise that 80 per cent of patients’ simple problems do not require physical examination.

    Even as these ‘click clinics’ from the UK and USA have been catering to Indian patients for quite some time now, desi websites, with an impressive line-up of specialists, are gaining in popularity as they are cheaper and Indian doctors are easier to interact with.

  • India: Tele-medicine catching up but still a long way to go

    Efforts by healthcare providers to reach out to the masses in far flung areas of the country using cutting edge technology appears to be gradually making a headway these days after the initial hype about tele-medicine has weaned away.

  • India: Telemedicine can go where no doctor has gone before

    With over 70 percent of India's population living in rural areas and with more than 75 percent of Indian doctors based in cities and urban areas, the benefits of latest developments in medicine and technology are not available to the rural population.

    A recent study by Crisil says that focus on telemedicine is the key to improving efficiency and widening the reach of healthcare, especially to rural India, which will otherwise remain isolated.

  • India: Telemedicine can help cure rural India’s ills

    Telemedicine holds the key to improve efficiency and widen the reach of healthcare, especially to rural India. With over 70% of India’s population living in rural areas and over 75% of doctors based in cities, telemedicine will turn out to be the only feasible way to bridge the rural-urban health divide, said a recent study by Crisil.

    While the shortage of doctors continues to be a matter of concern, acute shortage of nursing staff post 2011, will be telling, the study added. “Telemedicine is one such innovation, which if used effectively, would help improve the efficiency of doctors and treat more patients,” said Sudhir Nair, head, Crisil Research. While it is difficult to make standalone telemedicine models feasible, an integrated healthcare model would be viable, he added.

  • India: Telemedicine: Lifeline for the Poor

    Nurses no longer have to wake up the lone doctor in some rural area when the sick and injured rush to the hospital emergency room. They will quickly assess the patient, and in serious cases, fire up the camera, monitor, and will establish link with the hospital in the city.

    The nurse would place an electronic stethoscope over the patient's chest so the doctor can listen to the heartbeat, put an otoscope into the patient's ear so the doctor can check for an ear infection, or send an X-ray so the doctor can spot a broken bone - all from a remote location.

    All this can be made possible with the help of Telemedicine.

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Ministry of Communication & Information Technology have been working on the guidelines for having some telemedicine practice norms in the country.

    A National Task Force was formed to bring in telemedicine into the mainstream of healthcare delivery. The guidelines are for image transfer, HL-7 (global authority on standards for interoperability of health information technology), DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine), privacy and confidentiality. Now the onus of having a full-fledged policy is on the ministry of health, according to ISRO officials.
