Glocal’s digital dispensaries are located in most difficult terrain of the country
Glocal Healthcare Systems’ telemedicine platform, Hellolyf, has clocked 3028 patient-doctor consults on June 14, 2018. This is an annual run rate of over a million consults. Glocal Healthcare Systems is a rural tech-based integrated healthcare company, head quartered in Kolkata. The world’s oldest and largest telemedicine platform Teladoc, a $3.76 billion company clocked 1.46 million consults last year.
Srikanta Mukherjee, Tech Head, Glocal, “We may take another two years to catch up with their revenue as they bill in dollars and we are the most affordable in the world. But the difference is that we are already becoming EBIDTA positive and so that is a big plus.”
Glocal operates through digital dispensaries where patients not only get video consultations; but its IoT telemedicine terminal called LitmusMX also collects patient vitals, does all investigations including liver, thyroid and kidney function tests, Hb%, electrolytes, glucose, proteins, lipid profile, urine tests and most infectious disease tests.
The Clinical Decision Support System called LitmusDX helps doctors deliver better healthcare. In some centres, there are automated medicine dispensers, called LitmusRX, that dispense the medicines based on the prescription, directly to the patient without human intervention.
All the tech pieces – LitmusMX, LitmusRX and LitmusDX are IP of Glocal. Most of Glocal’s digital dispensaries are in the most difficult terrain of the country – from Nabarangpur in KBK region of Odisha, Dantewada of Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
