KardioMD Telehealth
BrandMed, Cipla and Momentum Health Solutions have partnered
to launch KardioMD Telehealth. The solution allows patients to consult with a
healthcare professional without leaving their homes. The KardioMD Telehealth
stand-alone health solution is more than just a telemedicine platform – it’s
described as part of a bigger picture that empowers patients in the management
of their health. The locally developed
app offers patients a range of services, including home-monitoring for chronic
illness like hypertension, diabetes, asthma and emphysema, a link to an
emergency care call centre, access to a holistic lifestyle programme, and an
activity tracker. KardioMD Telehealth
can also connect users to a broad range of healthcare professionals
HearMe Wellness app
The HearMe app puts its members in touch with trained
volunteers through text messaging, who “listen” and reply in real-time – no
bots or automated responses. Volunteers offer advice on how to keep busy, and
to overcome the effects of loneliness and the frustrations of not being allowed
to get out of the house to meet up with friends and family. Members are able to chat about anything on
their minds, not just the aspects of the lockdown and social distancing. For
instance, some members chat about how to cope as a single parent with a child
who does not understand why he or she cannot go outside and play with friends.
