Legrand India has kickstarted its medical health centre for the people in Haridwar and Jalgaon. As a part of its India CSR initiative, Legrand has collaborated with Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai to set up this telemedicine centre, which will aid in free super-speciality tele-consulting for patients for whom specialist healthcare is difficult to reach.
A synergy between the best in medical and telecommunication technology, this CSR project is designed to be sustainable and scalable, considering it can be replicated in other locations for Legrand. The facility will enable patients to connect with the doctors real-time through audio/video technology. Patients can diagnose and submit their health data such as BP, blood test, X-Ray, etc. online which will be remotely made available to the doctor sitting at Nanavati Hospital with the help of paramedical staff available at the centre. Doctor and patient can then be connected real-time through audio-video. This technology also enables doctors to use a digital stethoscope to listen to the heart and lungs, similar to a physical examination and subsequently prescribe relevant medicine.
