The world’s population is aging due to increasing life spans and decreasing birth rates and India is no exception to this demographic transition. In fact the population over 60 will present a major challenge to the healthcare system in the near future and high impact solutions are the need of the hour.
The incidence of acute and chronic morbidity increases with advancing years and the cost of the health care after 60 is very high resulting in increased out of pocket expenditure.
Almost all healthcare solutions, for the elderly, today focus on acute and emergency care and there is a lacuna with regard to accessible primary care for the elderly. Effective everyday care with a focus on diet, lifestyle and holistic wellness has the potential to preempt or slow onset of many commonly occurring chronic ailments among the elderly. It is seen that the elderly in India and their families prefer holistic healthcare approaches that may need sustained management and lifestyle adaptations but improves and sustains quality of life rather than strong medications and invasive surgical procedures that solve one problem but create a host of other problems.
We propose to aggregate independent and distributed Ayurveda healthcare practitioners to build a network of autonomous care delivery centers spread across the coverage area. This care network uses a central core group of experienced experts and latest technology for on-line health record to connect senior citizens’ at outpatient / home settings with the objective of improving or sustaining their quality of life.
This solution will be available to senior citizens’ on a fixed monthly subscription that includes doctor consults(clinic and home visits), medication, ongoing advises, lifestyle improvement support etc.
