Intelehealth

We are growing. Earlier this year, we signed a partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Country Office in the #KyrgyzRepublic to help improve access to quality maternal health care and promote innovative approaches in the field of reproductive health. The project is being implemented within the framework of UN South-South Cooperation, and targets five maternity hospitals– one maternity at the tertiary level (the National Center of Maternal and Child Health based in Bishkek) that will be equipped to provide supportive supervision through tele networking to four maternity hospitals at the secondary level in three provinces, namely Osh, Jalal-Abad, Issyk-Kul and Chui. These hospitals cover a large catchment area bearing a disproportionate burden of maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity. The overall goal of the project is to reduce preventable maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in selected regions of the country. Lessons from this pilot project will be used to further scale-up sustainable telemedicine practices. We are truly excited about this new partnership and hope to keep serving the last mile through new and innovative ways of integrating telemedicine into our care systems. #lastmile #GovtofKyrgyzRepublic #DigitalHealth #Healthcare #GlobalGoals #maternalhealth #reproductivehealth #QualityHealthcare #ChildHealthcare

#DigitalHealth services can be transformative for many #lastmile communities, especially women within these communities. As #Intelehealth assists ministries of health across geographies transform their health centres from "Brick and Mortar" solutions to #BrickandClick, the focus remains on how to make these services more accessible to the most marginalised population groups. Listen to our CEO, Neha Verma expand on this thought at Global Digital Health Network's Pop-up studio https://lnkd.in/dV_hVUks #BrickandClick #GDHN2024 #digitalhealth #mhealth #hybridevent #digitalhealth #saluddigital #eHealth #healthinformatics

When artificial intelligence is developed with understanding and intention, we create space for radical change. The The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation’s partnership enables #Intelehealth to expand access to health resources in underserved communities— delivering quality healthcare where there is no doctor by transforming Brick and Mortar health solutions into #BrickandClick solutions. This demonstrates AI’s promise to strengthen digital health systems, improving the well-being of our world.

Thank you 100x Impact Accelerator! It was wonderful to reconnect and share the journey so far. We hope to continue building on the impact for the many #lastmile #communities we are engaged with. #digitalhealth #intelehealth #telemedicine #partofLSE #socialunicorn #100XCohort2 #QualityHealthcare

#Lastmile #Impact #Jharkhand #NCDs #NCDs like #diabetes are on the rise. As per the World Health Organization, in India alone, there are approximately 77 million people above the age of 18 years who are suffering from diabetes (type 2) and nearly 25 million who are pre-diabetics– a higher risk of developing diabetes in near future. Given the shortage of #accessible #healthcare in many parts of the country, more than 50% of diabetics are unaware of their status which can lead to various #health complications. Swarno Devi had been living with diabetes for two years. She resides in Serenghatu village in Ranchi, #Jharkhand. She used to buy her medication from a private hospital in Bundu, a small town 20 kms from her village. The medicines were not cheap nor was the travel. In early 2023, she ran out of the medicine and wasn’t able to afford the travel or the medication. As she discovered later, within two weeks of not taking the medicine, her blood sugar levels had spiked dangerously high. She was desperate for help. Her neighbours told her about the #CommunityHealthWorker (#CHO) Sunita Kumari working at the Health and Wellness Centre (#HWC) in the village. Swarno Devi reached out to Sunita and shared about her condition. The CHO immediately arranged a video call with a doctor in Ranchi city. The doctor asked her detailed questions about her condition and after listening to her health complaints, prescribed the necessary medication. Post the call, Swarno Devi didn’t have to go anywhere to buy the #medicine. Sunita promptly provided her with the prescribed medication. Swarno Devi could not believe that it was all so easy. It was a huge relief. The regular follow-up visits to the HWC allowed her to #monitor her condition and receive ongoing #support from the CHO. Today the village does not need to travel anywhere else for various health checkups. They are able to save a great deal of money and time as well as receive #qualityhealthcare services right at their doorstep. #Technology has always had the potential to be used as a tool for greater good and through #telemedicine, it is helping bring life-saving changes at the #last mile.

Thank you Global Digital Health Network for creating this wonderful opportunity for all of us in the space of digital health to come together, interact and learn from each other. The #GDHF2024 has been an absolutely rewarding experience. We hope to build further on the conversations and possible collaborations that have taken shape at the forum. Going back with a world of learning and renewed associations! #digitalhealth, #mhealth, #hybridevent, #digitalhealth, #saluddigital #eHealth #healthinformatics

As per the most recent estimates about India, active healthcare providers density of doctors and nurses/midwives is 5.0 and 6.0 respectively, for every 10,000 persons. This situation is shared by many low-resource economies. Healthcare quality faces significant challenges. This results in brief primary care consultations, averaging just 2.5 minutes, during which only 16% of essential history-taking tasks are completed. Consequently, medical errors are prevalent, with an estimated 5.2 million errors occurring annually in India, though the actual number may be higher. How can AI, specifically Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), enhance healthcare accessibility, quality, and efficiency? Can evidence-based support systems help healthcare providers and patients overcome such challenges? How can careful integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into telemedicine platforms be of help? Can technologies like GPT-4.0 Turbo actually help increase the diagnostic accuracy, particularly with complex multi-system diseases? What are the challenges that remain? #Ayu is a #CDSS designed by #Intelehealth to assist community health workers (CHWs) and nurses in collecting clinical information based on patient needs and symptoms. It synthesises this information into a clinical summary, generates likely diagnoses, and makes triage decisions at a physician's level. Ayu supports interactions in local Indic languages, facilitating communication between health workers and patients. We will be sharing our learnings about all of this at #GDHF2024, led by Dr. Soumyadipta Acharya, Dr Neha Verma and Dr Shekhar Waikar on the 4th of December in a virtual workshop. The Global Digital Health Forum (GDHF) is a leading global public health industry networking and relationship-building event for technology vendors, donors, researchers, government representatives, and implementing organisations working in low- and middle-income countries. We look forward to seeing you there - online or in-person.

The sphere of digital healthcare innovations is a rapidly evolving one, especially the ones that leverage #ArtificialIntelligence (AI) and add to #DigitalPublicInfrastructure (DPI), solving for scalable efficiency with enhanced data use. Dr. Soumyadipta Acharya, assistant professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Program Director at the Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID), The Johns Hopkins University has been one of the key guiding figures at Intelehealth as one of its founding directors. At the #GDHF2024, he will be showcasing VectorCam by John Hopkins University, an innovative AI-powered tool that revolutionises mosquito surveillance for malaria control. This budget-smartphone based technology enables community health workers to instantly identify mosquito species, sex, and feeding status, de-skilling the process traditionally performed by highly trained entomologists. By facilitating distributed, real-time surveillance at a granular level, VectorCam empowers local health systems with timely data for more effective decision-making in vector control efforts. Join in the plenary session on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI): Innovations for scalable disease surveillance and campaign effectiveness on the 4th of December.
