Assisted Telemedicine Program

Digi Setu is an assisted telemedicine solution being implemented by the Centre for Chronic Disease Control – BRIDGE Centre for Digital Health. It has developed an interoperable telemedicine platform to provide primary and tertiary-level physician consultation services. These services are delivered with the help of trained healthcare personnel that help bridge current gaps in telemedicine and improve access to healthcare among poor and vulnerable populations living in remote, rural as well as urban locations.

 

Potential Impact

  • Bridge the gaps between community, technology and digital healthcare through trained personnel.
  • Will ensure continuity of care and longitudinal health data through the use of inbuilt electronic health records.
  • Generation of valuable data that can inform the development of suitable insurance models for urban underprivileged and rural communities.
