Healpha’s virtual clinic to help address Covid exposure risk
To benefit healthcare professionals as well as large number of patients across urban and rural geographies
Hyderabad: Healpha, a Hyderabad-based digital healthcare company, launched its virtual clinic service called the Health ATM. The Health ATMs will reduce the risk of Covid and other communicable diseases for healthcare professionals as well as enable large numbers of patients across urban and rural geographies to draw the benefit of enhanced virtual clinics.
Announcing the new initiative, Raj Janapareddy, founder of Healpha, said, “Compared to 11 per cent usage of telemedicine in 2019, today, 76 per cent of end consumers are comfortable using telemedicine. Our Health ATMs take tele-treatment to the next level, where doctors sitting remotely can monitor vitals of a patient like oxygen saturation, blood pressure, glucose levels and even ECG.”
“On-demand virtual urgent care has the potential to significantly lower emergency department visits, urgent patient visits, and after-hours consultations. This by itself reduces the exposure to Covid significantly for both health care workers as well as patients of the service,” he added.
The Health ATM enables primary & secondary level medical assessment by doctors for patients living in remote areas, aged patients and even patients suffering from varied levels of chronic issues. Additionally, it gives States the ability to balance the doctor-patient ratio in the country, he added.
Healpha is also tying up with several NGOs and hospitals. The company’s application can be easily downloaded on individual smartphones and the services can be availed by any citizen for schools, corporates, communities or even individuals and families. It can help deliver safe, efficient and cost-effective care. It enables all stakeholders to access health data easily while ensuring privacy, and also helps improve the quality and outcomes of health and social care.
