Glocal Healthcare Systems ("Glocal" or the "Company"), a global industry-leading provider of digitally enabled healthcare that operates as a technology and process based platform to make healthcare affordable, and accessible, reported significant milestones during February.
"Our goal is to ensure that high quality and affordable healthcare is accessible globally. To achieve this goal, we have combined the examination room, test lab, and the pharmacy into one clinic which we call a "Digital Dispensary." Its dimensions are only about 64 square feet making it easy to install or retrofit into any location. This solution provides the immense benefits of digital health for the consumers and providers" said Dr. Sabahat Azim, CEO and founder of Glocal and CEO International Division of Uphealth. "The digital dispensaries are staffed by a nurse who guides the patients through the whole healthcare consultation using the digital diagnostic tools at hand. In person presence of a doctor is not required. The doctors can be located anywhere in India, and the patient is seen and served in their own community digital dispensary clinic. Interaction between the staff nurse and doctor, with the use of advanced technology and rich video, allows Glocal to perform a thorough clinical examination. The clinics are equipped with a digital stethoscope, a laryngoscope, fetal Doppler, and many more diagnostic tools. In addition, there is a robust clinical decision-support system that allows doctors to focus on the patients and their problems, augmenting their decision making by providing further information on the drug interactions, dosages and contraindications. Finally, the pharmacy is automated to dispense medications. For the equivalent of about $4 USD in India, you be seen by a doctor and get your tests and medications all at one clinic. There is a large need across the globe to provide high quality, accessible and affordable healthcare services, and Glocal's goal is to be the solution."
