Enhancing Health System’s Response to COVID-19 through Telemedicine
Global Efforts for Controlling COVID-19: COVID-19 is a rapid-spreading disease caused by Corona Virus strain that is unknown in Humans before. Thus, there is no vaccine and therapeutic treatment available for the disease. Global efforts to prevent Corona Virus Pandemic from spreading focuses on the following interventions:
- Better hygiene and everyday measures to stop the spread of germs through hand washing, sanitization, preventing droplets, and social distancing.
- Self-isolation and routinely cleaning objects that are touched by people who have symptoms or the disease.
- Contacting health providers immediately in case of symptoms to get tested and acquire treatment
- Receive Hospital care if signs of severe disease are seen
Tech4Life provides state of the art Telemedicine solution (MDConsults) and the Digital Health devices, like Sojro Telemedicine kits and eSteth Lite Digital Stethoscope to provide affordable solution to COVID-19 spread. Telemedicine response can be implemented in three ways:
- Community-based Screening and Education by sending Messages to people and also provide educational material and Self-screening tools through MDConsults mobile application.
- Screening facilities at the Primary Health Clinics in the community for anyone who presents with symptoms and the community members. This service enables early diagnosis and avoids more patients coming to the hospitals.
- Online Triage of patients who reach the hospital directly to ensure that patient’s do not unnecessarily come in contact with the doctors and other hospital staff.
