India Health Link Introduces ‘Phygital’ Health Pod to Revolutionize Preventive Healthcare
Cutting-edge ‘hPod’ aims to bridge gaps in primary and preventive healthcare delivery across India.
In a significant leap towards transforming India’s healthcare landscape, India Health Link (IHL) has unveiled its groundbreaking ‘Phygital’ (physical+digital) screening ecosystem. The cutting-edge initiative addresses the existing gaps in primary healthcare, filling the void in preventive healthcare access across the nation. At the heart of this revolutionary approach lies the ‘hPod,’ an award-winning ATM-sized Health Pod that automates vitals screening without the need for any assistance. The innovative ‘hPod’ is set to complement the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) and create personalized Health accounts, aiming to enhance healthcare access for all citizens.
A game-changer in healthcare delivery.
The ‘hPod’ stands as a pioneering solution, offering a non-invasive, digitally-integrated ecosystem for Primary, Preventive, and Predictive Healthcare. As individuals walk into the self-service Health Pod, they can undergo screening for 22+ vital health parameters, including blood pressure, weight, SpO2, BMI, pulse, temperature, and ECG, all completed within an impressive 5 minutes. What sets the ‘hPod’ apart is its seamless operation without any paramedic assistance, providing instant health reports and storing records in its digital interface.
Pioneering preventive healthcare culture for corporate workplaces and communities.
Filling the Gaps in Corporate Wellness and Rural Healthcare
IHL’s ‘Phygital’ ecosystem targets two crucial aspects of healthcare delivery. Firstly, it aims to bridge the gap in corporate wellness by promoting a preventive care culture in workplaces. Recent studies have highlighted the impact of stress on employees’ health, leading to cardiac arrests and other health issues. By incorporating the ‘hPod’ in corporate settings, India Health Link seeks to empower employees with preventive screenings, potentially saving lives through early detection.
Secondly, the ‘Phygital’ ecosystem proves to be a boon for rural India, where access to preventive screening remains limited. With over 70% of India’s population residing in rural areas, the lack of diagnostic facilities hampers early detection and timely intervention for non-communicable diseases. By deploying the ‘hPod’ in rural clinics and communities, IHL aims to bridge this healthcare gap and improve overall health outcomes.
Paving the way for a healthier India with personalized healthcare access.
Unique Blend of Physical and Digital Models
What sets IHL’s ‘Phygital’ Health Pod apart is its ingenious combination of physical and digital models. The ‘hPod’ effectively merges the convenience of a self-service physical experience with a robust digital interface, ensuring user-friendly access to healthcare data. By creating personalized Health accounts and IDs aligned with the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA), the ‘Phygital’ ecosystem offers a promising path to address preventive and primary healthcare delivery challenges.
