Healthcare Co offers app to docs for remote patient care

Kochi: PracticeSuite, Inc., a US-based healthcare cloud technology company with offices in various cities in the country, including two in Kochi, has offered its PS Telemed App to all doctors in India at no cost to remote patient care.

This is in addition to its recent similar global rollout to help doctors worldwide to cope up with Covid-19 situation. A doctor or a healthcare professional can utilize this tool to consult patients under quarantine by simply using a computer or a smartphone. This will ensure safety of medical professionals.

Further, this technology will help doctors to continue to provide their ongoing non-urgent chronic and routine care to ensure continuity-of-care during the Covid-19 crisis.

The platform allows providers to render care remotely to patients from the safety of their homes. Available as a free downloadable app, PS Telemed App is currently available in Android Playstore and Apple App Store; it can be instantly activated through a simple registration.

“In the last few days, we have seen tremendous interest in our telemedicine solutions and services. PracticeSuite will be providing our technology platform at no charge to allow patients to continue to be seen in this complex and challenging healthcare environment,” states Trey Wilson, chief revenue officer of the company.

“While the countrywide lockdown in India is necessary to prevent community spread, it is far more imperative to protect and safeguard the health of our medical professionals who are caring quarantined citizens,” said Vinod Nair, managing director of PracticeSuite, India.
