Introduces net audiometry clinics at Tardeo and Chembur in Mumbai
Apollo Spectra Hospitals, part of Apollo Health and Lifestyle Ltd (AHLL), has partnered with Pune-based hearing healthcare provider Quadio Labs for their maiden tele-medicine services. Together they have introduced net audiometry services at Apollo Spectra Hospitals at Tardeo and Chembur located in Mumbai.
Net audiometry empowers audiologists to break the physical barriers and reach patients across geographies to conduct audiometry test for hearing impaired individuals. In a country of over 1.2 billion, hearing loss affects over 10 per cent of the population and is the second most debilitating disability in India. With less than 2000 practicing audiologists in India, Quadio’s solution of net audiometry aims to reduce the distance between hearing impaired individuals and audiologists.
An Internet connection is established between the patient location and remote audiologist. The hearing test is performed over the Internet using Quadio’s Quadiometer by the audiologist. Post the test, a report is generated and a hard copy of the report can be printed by the patient at his location. A counsel on the report and recommended treatment is then discussed via video conferencing.
Anubhav Prashant, Regional Business Head, Apollo Spectra Hospitals said, 党Apollo Spectra痴 evolution is guided by a 叢atient-centric・approach, in line with this philosophy we have come together to work closely and bring tele-audiometry to communities who did not have access to the services. Through this association, we aim to reach out to both children and adults. We aim to screen more than 15000 people over the period of six months as a part of this initiative.媒
