services that is not available in distant rural communities.

Our Providers

guidelines set by Medical Council of India.

Individual clinicians

which would allow them to see more patients during hours set.

expedience of being treated from the comfort of their home or office.

practice, without the hassles of dealing with insurance companies when it
would come to reimbursement of services.

SCHEDULE..!
Differentiate your hospital
 We would work with hospital systems along the country to implement
telemedicine practice. Providers can offer follow up consultations to
discharged patients, treat OUR patients during their own time, and even refer
current patients to have e-visits.
 Improve standards of Care : We believe following up with patients after they
have been discharged would be an excellent way to maintain quality care and
patient satisfaction.
 Increase patient volume : Telemedicine would make it easy to connect with
patients outside their normal geography, expanding hospital’s treatment
radius.
Emergency care centers
 It would be a turnkey telehealth solution that will connect patients interested
in seeing a medical provider online with available providers.
 Treat remote patients : With us, you will be able to connect with patients
outside your normal geography.
 Effectively use Provider downtime : Slow day at the clinic ? No problem. You
would be able to treat and diagnose patients online during your quieter shifts.
 Deliver accessibility : You will be able to treat patients from home or office
during times that are convenient to them and hence improve loyalty to your
clinic too as a result.
