Telerad Tech, the technology arm of Teleradiology Solutions, announced  that it has become the ma-naged service provider for Ciscos health presence telemedicine platform in India.
Dr Sunita Maheshwari, a Pediatric Cardiologist and Chief dreamer of Teleradiology Solutions, helped operationalise a telemedicine center in a low income district in Raichur in North Karnataka using Cis-cos technology. Telemedicine consultations have been provided by Telerad RxDx doctors to the rural villages in Raichur like Gillesgur and Bichalle since October 2010. According to her, the use of technology is helping remote areas of Asia leapfrog into high tech health care. A shortage of doctors in rural areas and a need for specialist consultation is leading to a real need for telemedicine deployment in India.

In addition to rural telemedicine, healthpresence could benefit companies as well. A telemedicine se-tup in a corporate setting could be a value add and a time saver for employees who no longer need to commute to see a doctor.
There is a need for a telemedicine product with good video quality which works on low bandwidth and where the doctor can be anywhere, says Mr Ricky Bedi, CEO of Telerad Tech who is managing the IT deployment of the telemedicine for Dr Maheshwaris group. In traditional telemedicine setups the doctor needs to be at the telemedicine headquarter. In todays busy world, tying a doctor to a room becomes a challenge. In Ciscos health presence version 2.0, the doctor can be located anywhere and can access the tele patient on his laptop using a wifi device. Doctor anytime anywhere is a huge advantage of health presence, which is why we are excited to be the managed service provider for Cisco in India and this part of the world.
