One of the big challenges of rural healthcare is the availability of doctors and specialists. However, through initiatives like tele-medicine, satellite communication and other apps, the facility can be brought remotely to villages.
Sai Krushna Charitable Trust is pro- technology and believes that technology can improve the quality of rural healthcare services. SKCT has already procured an app based ECG monitoring device which can measure the ECG of patients and also provide for immediate expert consultation. The general physician, Dr Poornima, refers the ECG on real time to expert cardiologists who can then provide necessary consultation. All of this happens in the remote village of Hosadoddi at absolutely zero cost.
