Remote medicine technologies for maternal care

HMRI

The HMRI- Mac Arthur telemedicine project is aimed at reducing the maternal mortality and morbidity in tribal populations in Andhra Pradesh. The Telemedicine solution was designed to overcome obstacles like bad roads, forested areas and an illiterate base riddled with superstitions and tribal customs. The pilot project in Araku, Vishakhapatnam district succeeded amidst these challenges.

The remote medicine technologies developed by HMRI include ‘Dox-in-Box’ used in the field and a tele health centre with facilities for lab, video conferencing and medical consultation.

The primary objective was to provide access to a point of care that could provide specialist advice / care at affordable cost, helps them in cutting down on unnecessary expenditure, losing time and wages. Secondary objective of HMRI’s Telemedicine service is to design a point of care, user friendly, cost effective, integrated multi-functional device for rural telemedicine applications with emphasis on mother and child functionality. This project is tackling the causes of maternal mortality at the habitation level, such as sepsis, hypertensive disorders, tuberculosis, malaria, etc.
