Space Telemedicine, which has already networked with 57 leading hospitals in India, (including seven in Tamil Nadu) in what is claimed to be the largest telemedicine initiative in Asia, will soon launch 600 mobile V-Sat units, to connect the smallest towns with major super speciality hospitals across India. As villages and small towns have no proper access to major hospitals, particularly during the crucial emergencies or accidents, telemedicine plays a vital role to save patients lives. Space has already networked with 57 leading hospitals in India, including seven in Tamil Nadu. The company will place 600 mobile V-Sats in Tier II and Tier III cities and towns and villages and remote areas, with the intent to move the clinical information rather than the patient.The concept, is that, depending on the need and availablity of specialists, the local general practitioner can choose from scheduled live interactive consultation, where the specialist is available at a pre-fixed time.Besides on demand live interactive consultations, mainly during Emergency, there is also ‘Store and Forward consultations’, where the local general practitioner forwards patient records and diagnostic test reports, receives specialist opinion and gives the diagnoses to the patients at a later date.
