Vigocare launches COVID-19 remote monitoring platform to monitor patient vitals remotely

Hyderabad, Sep 17 (UNI) Vigocare, a Hyderabad-based health-tech company, on Thursday announced the launch of its one-of-a-kind Covid-19 remote monitoring platform to help hospitals and doctors to monitor patient vitals remotely.
With the risk of infection looming over healthcare establishments, Vigocare, a cloud-based e-health service provider is bringing to the market a unique and well-timed approach to help doctors and health providers monitor patients from 'Anytime – Anywhere', the company said in a release.
Speaking on the occasion, Vigocare CEO and Founder Dr Sekhar Chennupati said currently, this platform is available in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and will expand its footprint pan India in a month beginning with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
He said, with our medical-grade remote monitoring services for COVID-19 care will allow healthcare providers to monitor their patients remotely using technology and AI systems. Vigocare aims to not only help in the fight against COVID- 19 but also encourage both health providers and consumers to become digitally enabled and go contactless.
We hope to bring e-health to the forefront and educate individuals on the benefits and ease of remote patient monitoring, he said.
Dr. Sekhar said, our objective is to take healthcare closer to the customer, earlier in 2019 we launched our first solution with remote Heart monitoring and was well received by the market, also it was instrumental in saving several lives.
Explaining about the device, he said this solution through a small device connected to a mobile phone monitors all the patient’s vitals like heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, ECG, skin temperature and ensures transmission of the data to the cloud.
Once on cloud, we have an AI solution which continuously monitors, recognises any alarming deviations in parameters and immediately alerts the treating physician, he said.
The Physician has a dashboard where the parameters reflect and enables him to take a call on further treatment to control the vitals, including hospital admission. This way the Physicians can monitor multiple patients anytime, from anywhere, he said.
There is no need for constant monitoring by Physicians, only when there is an alert he has to act, he added.
It is also embedded with a video consultation facility, through which he can interact with the patient and assess the condition, he explained.
There are several Hospitals and Doctors using our solution already, several COVID patients are getting monitored through it. The solution has proven to be very helpful to both the Doctors, Hospitals and patients.
We are tied up with Rush Hospital, Sigma Hospital, some reputed physicians, critical care specialists, all this even before the formal launch, he added.
We are funded by a group of Angel investors, few doctors from San Francisco and Australia, raised a couple of million Dollars till now and will be raising more, Dr Sekhar said.
We host all our Data on AWS platform to ensure data security, so the data is absolutely secure, he added.
