Wipro, Microsoft offer solutions for remote fetal monitoring, cardiac care
TT Correspondent |  |  08 Mar 2013

Wipro Technologies, the global information technology firm and Microsoft have launched the Wipro AssureHealth platform to help  healthcare providers to deliver innovative solutions for Remote Fetal Monitoring and Cardiac Care. That will ensure high quality treatment at reduced costs, especially for chronic diseases.

The Wipro AssureHealth platform leverages Microsoft’s Cloud, Mobility and Analytics offerings to allow care providers to monitor patients regularly and precisely. This is done through hosted services and mobile apps that integrate medical devices, IT Infrastructureand 24/7 customer support, to deliver highly scalable solutions. This is a value based service aimed at revolutionizing user experience like never before.

The fetal monitoring service delivers accurate recordings of maternal, fetal heart rate and uterine activity from the expectant mother to the physician over his/her Mobile device thereby enhancing the doctors ability to provide enhanced care to patients. The fetal monitor is a small wearable wireless device that provides beltless monitoring of the mother and the baby in the womb. It accurately records maternal and fetal heart rate, and uterine activity, thereby providing information on fetal and maternal well-being. The device is suited for both antenatal care, and during active labor and delivery.

Wipro said that the cardiac solution is based on its Assurehealth software platform and delivers continuous wearable, ambulatory, non-obtrusive ECG data. It is designed to assist cardiologists to monitor and manage patients with angina, myocardial infarction, post cardiac procedures like stent, pacemaker and bypass as well as cardiac failures, from anywhere, through their smart phone or tablets. This avoids frequent visits to the OPD for follow up, the needless waiting time and anxiety for patients. This system also aids proactive management of complications, identifying them with intelligent analysis as and when they occur and addressing it based on evidence.

T. K. Padmanabha, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Infotech, India and Middle East Business of Wipro, said, “Through Wipro AssureHealth platform and our current choice of Microsoft platform stack, we help healthcare providers to not only improve their customer satisfaction but also generate new revenue streams.”
 
“This is truly a wonderful marriage of healthcare and technology where a doctor, on her/his smart phone or a tablet can literally judge the condition of the baby in the womb remotely and initiate appropriate action before the condition deteriorates. Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal, Medical Director, Manipal Hospital.
 
Gabe Rijpma, Senior Director - Health Care Asia, Microsoft said, “The solution will assist healthcare providers in meeting the demands of an evolving healthcare landscape and the joint initiative will further help to accelerate the transformation of healthcare in India and across the world.”
