WORLD OF TELEMEDICINE IS NOT ENOUGH, DIITAL PLATFORM IS NEED OF THE HOUR.
With A broad vision to help 1million patients every day, two co-founders Ashish Polekar & D S Kirankumar are now ready to address vast market of Healthcare sector.
With 40K Clinics/Hospitals +2M Healthcare professionals + 1.5M Allied Healthcare centres but not sufficient enough to systematically handle 1.2 M incoming patient crowd every single day for OPD Consultation across nation. A digital platform was need of the hour to address these irregularities.
Citagrid’s team came up with solution based on advanced technology platform, wherein patients can easily locate doctors as per their requirement for in-clinic OPD Consultation without waiting in queue @ doctor’s premises.
A Location based search option, Token based queue management system, Notifications on doctor arrival, Current running token status and average wait time for assigned token is logic behind the formation, which is now getting widely accepted among clinics and app users, says ‘D S Kirankumar’.
It’s all about personnel issues that I have faced during OPD consultation of my father. Wherein I was waiting for doctor’s arrival almost for 1.5 hrs, says ‘Ashish’. Apart from queue of 30+ patients waiting for their turn, there was no obvious clue of arrival of doctor; everybody kept waiting without patience, which was a trigger point that lead to formation of “CITAGRID HEALTHTECH PRIVATE LIMITED”.
It’s very challenging to bring discipline into the eco-system, we need to ensure lot of effort and huge finance to make it happen and moreover acceptance of the market is a key to lookout and work for.
