Health-tech provider LifeSigns, on Tuesday, announced its pioneering ‘hub & spoke model’, to deploy its AI-powered 24×7 remote patient monitoring technology, across rural India.

According to a press statement, LifeSigns announced its first implementation in partnership with Apollo BGS to provide the solution to Mysuru and the villages surrounding the city. Emergency centers will be set up in the villages, connecting them to the central hub at Apollo Mysuru, ensuring timely access to emergency care for patients.

“We are thrilled to be at the forefront of digital healthcare innovation in India. Our commitment to providing world-class care to all extends beyond the hospital walls. Through this comprehensive digital transformation initiative, we aim to bridge the gap between urban and rural healthcare, ensure real-time patient monitoring, and offer seamless connected care in ambulance, in hospital and at home. This is a significant step towards our vision of a healthier and happier India,” Hari Subramaniam – Founder & CEO, LifeSigns, stated on Tuesday.

LifeSigns’ real-time patient monitoring system enables 24×7, uninterrupted streaming of patient data to doctors and healthcare professionals whether the patient is at home, in the ambulance or at the hospital, transforming emergency medical services delivery, it added.

“As a leader in healthcare innovation, Apollo is proud to introduce the Apollo 5G Ambulance, a ground breaking solution that harnesses the power of 5G technology to transform emergency medical services. This cutting-edge ambulance represents a significant step towards the future of healthcare, where connectivity and advanced technologies converge to provide the highest level of care to those in need. Instead of relying solely on pre-hospital management, we have recognised the importance of reaching patients early for timely care. That’s why we introduced the 5G-connected ambulance, which serves as a mobile hospital,” Dr Manish Mattoo, Regional CEO, Karnataka Region, Apollo Hospitals, said.

By utilising its uninterrupted and fast connectivity, we can start providing essential patient care right where they are, Mattoo said.

“In addition, we are happy that our partnership with LifeSigns will now enable us to provide the benefits of advanced technology to patients in surrounding villages too, increasing access to our quality healthcare,” he added.
