【New Delhi】The entry into health care by the Shiv Nadar-promoted HCL group, a big presence in information technology, has created a buzz. The venture, started by taking an equity position in Bharat Family Clinic, is aimed to capture the wellness and preventive health care market, it is learnt. The chain might focus on value-added services like doctor-on-call at home, among others.
Currently, Bharat Family Clinic, renamed HCL Avitas, runs two outpatient clinics in the National Capital Region, at Noida and Gurgaon. Experts say the development is timely because of demand. While companies are opting for various delivery models, HCL's entry into primary health care and wellness might have many takers, as this is a niche area. Of late, health care has emerged as a recession-free sector, with assured income.
○Finally, some help with those confusing prescriptions
【Coimbatore】Mobile alerts are not new. But imagine receiving your medical prescription on your mobile soon after consultation. Well, this is exactly what primary healthcare IT start-up mTatva is aiming to do.
Its founder-promoter Baljit Singh told Business Line that the company's flagship product — HealthPIE (Patient Information and Empowerment System) — enables healthcare providers to not just improve the Out Patient Department (OPD) yield, but engage patients effectively without changing the workflow of either the doctor or the patient.
"mTatva's solution helps by providing adequate information about the ailment. We currently have an information bank of over 150 common ailments. We also give the patient a detailed report of his/her ailment, which is available both on print and online. Such records can help patients get a second opinion, if need be," he said.
