Experience

ArogyaUDHC (‘User Driven Health Care’) platform serves to address the low doctor to patient ratio, specifically specialists, in rural India. It is an internet based medical learning and care giving collaborative platform build on the theory of “evidence based practice”, with a novel approach to telemedicine. In this approach patient’s & her health care providers, (which includes social workers, patient relatives as well as Primary Care Physicians), input forms the foundation of the system, which is processed in a social network of physicians dispersed globally and finally the treatment solution(s) are presented to the patient & her primary care provider. In absence of health care providers in rural areas, we have introduced a local trained community social health worker, known as TCHE (Trained Community Health Entrepreneur) to bridge the gap. The platform currently engages 500+ physicians globally.
