AyushEHR enters the finals of 2018 Elevate100 – Idea to POC initiative from the Government of Karnataka

Healthelife has done it once again, this time with AyushEHR. For the 2018 Elevate100, we pitched in with our flagship software solution for Wellness Tourism Service Providers and have been selected for the finals this year also.

Last year we had pitched our EHR.Network, person centric EHR platform, and ended up being one of the runner ups.

This edition started with more than 650 startups applying from across Karnataka. A panel of eminent experts screened all the applicants and selected top 500 for the multi-city pitch that happened between the 6th to the 10th of August in many cities across the state.  From the startups who pitched, top 250 have been selected for the final pitch scheduled for the 30th at Bangalore.

With the learnings from last year and the maturity that we have gained over the last 2 years, we intend to do all that it takes to get to the top 100 winners this year. With the progress that we have made so far, we feel that we are now in a position to make best use of the financial grant and mentoring support that the Elevate100 winners would be entitled to.

Health tourism in general and wellness tourism in particular are in a steep growth trajectory and is projected to continue growing above 15%. In the wellness sector, traditional healthcare practices such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy have an increasing role to play. AyushEHR, with it’s focus on enabling technology adoption in these practices, will have a major social impact. AyushEHR is designed to improve transparency, efficiency and professionalism in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy practices, which will provide them with a solid technology platform to take advantage of the emerging business opportunities in wellness tourism.

The Samsung mentoring team included experts from business, domain, technology, marketing and design. The 5 day contact program was preceded by a 2 month remote interaction between the startups and the designated mentors, which enabled the mentors to understand the startups and their pains points. This enabled the GSAP team to invite other mentors locally to supplement their efforts. The event included presentations, discussions, booth pitching, stage presentations and team mentoring sessions to help the startups overcome some of their pain points.

For GCN, the program enabled us to refine our idea, smoothen the rough edges of our offering and make a 5 minute pitch that can be understood by everybody. From a basic idea, we emerged as a ready to implement business offering. We could get a lot of positive feedbacks and also managed to catch the attention of many of those who were part of the program.

In the end GCN ended up winning the Best Potential and Best Improvement awards and walk away as one of the best business ideas in the event. The entire GCN team is all charged up to push forward and make the idea a reality that can make a serious and noticeable social impact.

TearDown presentation
Himanshu Khanna Founder & CEO of Sparklin tearing Healthelife website down

AysuhEHR had a harrowing day on 30th June at the TearDown event held by NSRCEL@IIM Bangalore. Having been selected as one of the 3 products for presentation in the June 2018 edition of the event, we had a distinguished industry panel and an audience of around 150 entrepreneurs & startup founders ripping it apart to help us refine some of the rough edges.

The distinguished panel included successful people from design & UX, product hunting product management and sales & marketing and the audience has a varied mix of young, experienced and established business founders.

Dileep made a short 10 min presentation on AyushEHR and our business plan to get the session going. The presentation ended with us listing out top 3 challenges requiring advice and support. Post the presentation, the panel members took turns to give a honest review of different aspects of the product and business and their suggestions for improving our offering. Once the floor was opened up, many in the audience also gave very valuable feedbacks and suggestions on aspects such as improving usability, pricing strategy and our go to market strategy.

Based on our experience, we feel that TearDown events (teardown.in) provide an excellent opportunity for startups to get their ideas evaluated by a varied and independent group of professionals at no cost. We thank the NRCEL team and all the volunteers for making this happen and also for having selected us for the event. We consider this as a further validation and acceptance of our idea and vision for the future of healthcare in India.

Geriatric Care Network(GCN) – The Social Enterprise from HealtheLife selected for the 2018 Samsung Global Startup Acceleration Program(GSAP)

Geriatric care Network from Healthelife

The pioneer in cloud-based standards compliant Electronic Health Records(EHR) platform in India, HealtheLife has added another feather to its hat. We are happy to share that our social enterprise venture Geriatric Care Network(GCN) has been officially selected as one of the 20 startups to participate in the 2018 Samsung Global Accelerator Program.

The program is aimed at helping early stage startups and fresh business ideas successfully navigate the initial years for growth and expansion. It is based on the realization that several startups fail within the first five years of establishment due to lack of sustainable business models or availability of technology. With an intention to foster an ecosystem for growth for such potential startups, the accelerator program involves mentoring the startups on crucial aspects of business, setup bootcamp for up-skilling, offer a platform for the startups to pitch their ideas and business, fetch global incubation support and attend conferences.

An initiative from the Corporate Social Responsibility Program from Samsung Electronics, this program is simultaneously conducted across many countries including Indonesia, India, Nepal, South Africa and Malaysia. GCN from HealtheLife is one of the business ideas that will be part of the Indian leg of this prestigious program this year(2018).

The idea that bagged this deserving recognition

At HealtheLife, we realize that, our fundamental belief in creating a sustainable social impact and value through our work & ideas has been key to our selection for the program.

With the advances in modern health care, the percentage of Elderly in societies across the world including India, are growing, and ensuring proper care for them is emerging as an area that needs immediate attention and focus. The current health care systems for the elderly are primarily focused on the critical and chronic care paradigm, with very little serious attempt at long term wellness & preventive solutions. GCN focuses on bridging this gap using Ayurveda made available through a localized and distributed network of professionals.

By combining the powers of Ayurveda and the potential of modern-day technology, GCN provides better preventive and wellness focused health care solutions economically at distributed locations. With this, we would make health care more accessible, available and affordable for the elderly.

We foresee exciting days in the program, where we hope to be mentored by experienced professionals from across the globe and gain the exposure needed to achieve our envisioned goals. Stay with us as we keep giving you constant updates on our experience at the accelerator program.

The first National Resource Centre for EHR Standards(NRCeS) users’ meet showcases the increasing pace of EHR standards adoption in India

The NRCeS and CDAC organized the first Users’ meet for all the stakeholders and professionals working in the area of EHR standards adoption from across the country. The initiative was to bring together all the stakeholders to share their experiences with EHR standards adoption and create a platform to collaborate in the future.

The meet had a mix of representatives from the different sides of the adoption spectrum that included the government officials, doctors, hospitals, technology companies and professionals. The forum was an informal discussion where representatives from each of the areas presented details of their work, level and success in standards adoption and the problems that they are facing.

HealtheLife was represented by Dileep. The meeting was a very heartening experience as we realized that our understanding of the standards and the extent of adoption that we have been able to achieve puts us among the leaders. Among the large number of participants, HealtheLife was the only company working on standards adoption for healthcare practices other than Allopathy, which again makes us a pioneer innovating new use cases for EHR standards adoption.

The intent of the meet was for the CDAC and NRCeS representatives to collate the discussions and observations made by the participants and present to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare(MOHFW) for their suitable action.

The meet had a very good attendance with participants travelling from all over India to be in Pune for the day and showed the commitment of the community in ensuring that EHR standards are adopted as per the vision of the Government of India. The meeting highlighted the high levels of enthusiasm and encouraging success so far and the long journey ahead for the community. We could learn some best practices that others have adopted and hope to use it to further improve the usability of our solutions.

Another takeaway from the meet was the initiatives that are happening under AYUSH ministry to create an Ayurveda extension to SNOMED CT and their commitment to bringing EHR standards adoption in the AYUSH Sector. This again validates the direction that HealtheLife has taken with AyushEHR.

As part of our commitment to this great community, we plan to publish a series of articles analysing the standards and explaining the key concepts in a simplified language that can be understood by a wider audience. Please come back once in a while to explore our blog.

AyushEHR Healthelife news

New Internal Notes & Observations module in AyushEHR R 1.3.4

We are excited to announce the wider availability of Internal notes/observations module in our latest 1.3.4 release of AyushEHR. This module is designed on the lines of a social media wall and is designed to be used as an unstructured summary of the customers. This module is purely for the internal use of the organization and is not part of the EHR of the customer.

During guest interaction from enquiry to episode completion, staff are required to make notes, observations, requests and feedbacks about a customer at different times. These may be received by email, on paper, verbally and also inferred by the staff as they work with the customer. Such details, which are very important during the care process, often remain in separate silos and are often not available at the required time.

Notes/observations module is designed to aggregate, tag(#tags and userTags) and make available contextually in a structured way to help users provide better care. Users are able to view, sort and filter the notes/observations easily so that appropriate actions can be taken at the right time.

With this, AyushEHR brings another very useful tool for the Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy care community. We believe that by properly leveraging this module, the practitioners should be able to take the healthcare experience that they provide a few notches up the ladder.

For more details, please review the full AyushEHR capability or contact us to get a free demo account. You may also read more about AyushEHR.
