Jun 22. 2020Galaxy Tab A enabled HealthCube to provide real-time diagnosis in rural areas
HealthCube is a Bengaluru-based set up that uses sophisticated technology to provide results in 3 to 15 minutes for 33+ tests across various parameters like vitals, biochemistry, infectious diseases, cardiac markers etc. This has made diagnosis simple and hassle-free, even in rural areas.
Enabling timely and patient-centric interventions that protect health, save time, and reduce the cost of healthcare are the objectives that drive HealthCube.
Challenges
HealthCube closely works with the Anemia Mukt Bharat project where school children are screened for hemoglobin levels. But under this project, the operator is required to spend long hours in a camp-like setting, collecting and storing all the data.
Since manual way of recording some of the health parameters remotely was prone to errors, HealthCube needed a mobility technology partner which could aid them in collecting a large amount of data from the field which could be retrieved locally. Also creating patient records with unique IDs was time consuming, and a delay in sharing the patient reports with remote doctors was observed.
Some of the other challenges faced by HealthCube were maintaining data security of patient reports, misuse of the device given to person on field duty for unofficial usage, and tracking the location of the beneficiary for analytical purposes.
Solution
HealthCube found an ideal partner in Samsung Galaxy Tab A which enabled healthcare workers to easily access HealthCube’s EzDx application to screen patients. Some of the features of the partnership are:
Galaxy Tab A with bigger screen provided on-field staff to easily record data
Unique patient records are created instantly using tablet's high resolution camera
