You dont think of it in a city full of multi speciality hospitals and multiple doctors. you dont think of snake bites as a cause of death in a concrete jungle. When you see a peacock or a camel, you get excited and point it to your child.
When you are at a book fair, at the eklavya book stall, a fat book is titled "jahaan doctor nahi hain" (where there are no doctors) . You look at the book - bewildered. the idea of not having access to a doctor, hits you smock in the middle of your eyes. you then realise that more than half of this country cannot go to a doctor even if they need to.because there are no doctors within reachable distance. Even more people cannot reach a hospital because there are no hospitals or medical facilities.
Thats when the importance of something like this hits you. Full on. A portable, cloud enabled, plug and play health center. Fully equipped to enable telemedicine.
The brilliance of the solution is in its simplicity. Its amazing what technology can do when someone thinks about what we can make it do.

Health care has never been on govt's agenda.
Those who firm up the laws are ntitled to free treatment anywhere in the world,they have reserved rooms in AIIMS,best zdrs are available to them.
Why would they even think of importance of Heath care?
HDWK.. the data says it all
engineering exam after 12th class.. number of seats .. roughly 1.5 lacs.. aspirants close to 18-20 lacs..
medical entrance exam .. seats 31,000... aspirants 8-11 lacs...
three times more people are being trained to repair machines than human beings
Telemedicine may be the magic wand of healthcare for the burgeoning yet underprivilege Indian population. I saw it in action when I was on board a Virin Atlantic flight from LHR to EWR two weeks ago. The flight attendants were able to revive a patient by following directive from a WebMD expert online!!!
Agreed. We are socialistic on paper and need a decade of intense work to bring any credible healthcare to the society.
Very well said. So the next thing that I am working on is e-doctor wherein we will capture the knowledge of a doctor in a system and use cloud computing to provide preliminary diagnosis
Unfortunately in India, even the paramedical staff take ' flight' and are unavailable at the primary health centres..
So the micro health centres remotely monitor the presence of the medical staff to curb absenteeism.
Dear All: i requested the architect of the solution to please respond to the comments on this post and he has very kindly obliged. Thank you!
All, you will be happy to know that the Micro Health Centre has started operating very successfully at Kaithal, Haryana
