Teleradiology’s Role in Access to Primary Healthcare

Teleradiology has been at the forefront of the telemedicine revolution, and a review of its value proposition in addressing our current healthcare challenges seems appropriate at this time as published in Hindustan Times.

Teleradiology Solutions wins 100 crore tender from Qatar

Health Tech @ Budget 2022 – The Government has Put Its Money Where Its Mouth is

The healthcare sector has been at the eye of the storm over the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Health-tech, and in particular telemedicine have blossomed in their scope of delivery. This has primarily occurred due to the need for remote care and monitoring prompted by the threefold COVID containment/prevention approach of isolation, quarantine, and social distancing.  Changes in public attitude with a dramatically increased acceptance of telemedicine/telehealth on the part of government, the public and the physician community are a direct consequence of the pandemic. The growth in telehealth and health-tech extends beyond COVID care to every medical specialty and subspecialty.

Five Reasons Why Radiology Needs AI

From a business perspective, the appeal of the radiology-AI combination is related to the extraordinary potential of a transformational technological disruption that can simultaneously address the issues of cost, understaffing, efficiency and quality in the delivery of radiologic services (the latter are all unfortunate realities in today’s world of major radiologist shortages).

The investor storyline is also psychologically compelling given as it ties in with futuristic imagery of the man-machine combine and its potential to transcend traditional human limitations with the bionic capabilities of the AI-supported super-radiologist. Published in Indiamedtoday

Teleradiology Solutions announces reporting volumes and revenue bounce back post-pandemic

Throughout the COVID pandemic, there was a reduction of radiology imaging due to several factors:

1. Elective surgeries and imaging were postponed by hospitals and patients
2. Due to lockdowns, traffic accidents and trauma had reduced significantly
3. The stay at home and masking mandate reduced transmission of other respiratory infections.

As a result, even though telemedicine consultations rose dramatically during the pandemic, hospital admissions and diagnostic elective imaging and radiology reporting volumes dropped globally.

The aim is to help give the 'CT severity score index' of a COVID positive patient when the CT scan is uploaded on the website. The scans are analyzed by a team of experienced radiologists at no cost to the patient. "CT severity score index is a radiology-based quantification protocol which can improve the identification of patients at risk for clinical deterioration for optimization and better management of hospital resources by frontline healthcare personnel. HRCT report quantifies the extent of the ground-glass opacities in the lung cavities, which are a crucial marker of COVID severity" said Dr. Arjun Kalyanpur, Chief Radiologist, Teleradiology Foundation.

 What healthcare organisations need to do (quickly) in the COVID Era

May 2020: As the world transforms itself in response to the COVID crisis, healthcare companies, being at the forefront of the battle against the virus, have also been forced to adapt.

Since teleradiology hit the scene nearly two decades ago, thoughts and opinions about this type of service have been a pendulum swing. Initial thoughts that it would push some providers out of practice eventually gave way to mutually-beneficial relationships.

“Teleradiology is a saturated, mature market that is no longer growing,” says Lawrence Muroff, MD, FACR, chief executive officer and president of Imaging Consultants, Inc. “If anything, it’s shrinking somewhat because, as practices get larger, they have a greater capability of providing comprehensive call themselves."“Teleradiology is a saturated, mature market that is no longer growing,” says Lawrence Muroff, MD, FACR, chief executive officer and president of Imaging Consultants, Inc. “If anything, it’s shrinking somewhat because, as practices get larger, they have a greater capability of providing comprehensive call themselves."

There is a surfeit of Indian doctors globally, but we have a shortage of doctors within India: Dr. Sunita Maheshwari

Today, there is a hospital at every block; various diagnostic center across the country and yet the training of radiologists has not kept up with this. If you look at a country like Singapore – we started working with the Singapore government in the year 2005 – they at that time had 70 radiologists. There was a huge shortage of radiologists reading to diagnostics which would come back in 3 to 5 days later. In the last 12 years, the Singapore government has increased the training and presently they have 475 radiologists.

"India has 450 medical colleges and trains about 52,000 MBBS students every year and yet, we have a huge shortage. The Planning Commission estimates that there is a shortage of six lakh doctors.
