Today, IoT in conjunction with telemedicine has created a new Internet of Medical Things and this has come to play a crucial role in monitoring the illness of patients. Owing to the busy lifestyles in the digital era, people are left with very
little time to take care of their health
and their family’s health as well. Hence
rather than spending time visiting a
hospital for a minor health issue, they
now prefer a teleconsultation.
This is where US based
HealiaDigital comes into the picture.
HealiaDigital offers an innovative
and advanced Telemedicine platform
with Remote Patient Monitoring
capabilities, through the Healia app.
Since consumers today look for a
simple and smooth digital experience
while teleconsulting without spending
too much time,the Healia app provides
a seamless experience and can be used
by consumers of almost all age groups as it has a simple
user interface. Furthermore, a queuing system/virtual
waiting room is also available that helps in avoiding
unnecessary waiting times thereby mimicking an actual
waiting room experience.
“As Doctors, it’s always been our endeavor to provide
the best of medical care to our patients. Through our
Healia platform we are upping the ante by changing the
very face of healthcare delivery in India by offering both
offline and online healthcare”, says Dr. J S Rajkumar, a
leading surgical Gastroenterologist in India & the Middle
East, and the Chairman of HealiaDigital Inc.
Integrating IoT devices for preventive healthcare
“We have built the Healia Platform using the latest
software tools and our remote patient monitoring
devices help doctors track patients’ health and provide
comprehensive medical care through a seamless user
experience”
, says Ananth Subramanian, the Vice
Chairman of the Company, based at Silicon Valley, US.
The Healia app focuses on preventive healthcare by
integrating IOT devices for remote monitoring and using predictive analysis to better health outcomes. It provides
comprehensive health services with a 360-degree approach
to user-health with users having access to multiple adjacent
services such as nutrition/diet plans, wellness services, and
Telemedicine & remote patient monitoring.
So far, healthcare delivery has focused
largely on reactive treatment and patients
seek medical care only when they fall ill.
Healia focuses on preventive healthcare
with a series of interventions that
ensure that any adverse medical event
is prevented by maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. Using advanced AI algorithms,
Healia analyses user data collected
and provides proactive interventions
thereby mitigating potential future
health issues and increasing the holistic
health of the individual. HealiaDigital is
spearheaded by highly experienced and
Tech-Savvy Medical doctors supported
by global technology leaders who have
collaborated to design, develop and deliver the Healia
connected Digital healthcare experience.
TheRoad Ahead
HealiaDigital plans to integrate multiple IOMT devices
and thus the company is currently working on wearables
for daytime monitoring and non-intrusive devices for
night monitoring. Advanced AI & Predictive analytics
will allow Healia to predict and prevent adverse health
events by continually monitoring users spearheading the
transition to Preventive and Proactive healthcare. Healia
has an ambitious roadmap ahead. An online medical
marketplace will be added later this year to bring homebased medical devices to consumers at a very affordable
cost.
“We are shortly integrating genomics into the platform
which will herald a next-gen era of personalized healthcare
using cutting-edge technology”, says Dr. Natesh Bala, the
CEO of HealiaDigital Inc.
Healia aims to touch a million lives by mid-2023.
For this fledgling healthtech startup, the number of lives
touched is the only measure of success.
