Medical Gateway solution - A boon to healthcare providers and patients
(2 votes)
Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited, launched medical gateway solution which will bring new insights into the medical field and patients care.
The solution, powered by Intel Atom processor, would enable improved care co-ordination between patients and their care providers and help overcome some of the challenges faced in traditional care delivery processes.
The medical gateway is an intelligent embedded platform, which enables users such as patients, doctors and other healthcare professionals to monitor, track and manage healthcare information from a remote location. This remote monitoring and tracking of healthcare information will be fruitful for physicians for expedited assessing of patient’s records, their preexisting medical conditions, their allergies to particular medications, and so on.
The solution enables real-time clinical review by automatically capturing vital data from multiple medical devices such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, pedometers and weighing scales etc. available with the patients. Hence, patients in rural/remote areas can have consultancy and will be monitored by specialized physicians working in Tertiary hospitals with this technology.
Medical devices can connect to the gateway solution through wired and wireless technologies using both standard based and proprietary protocols, to provide real time medical data, video and image transfer from a patient to doctor and in turn from a doctor to doctor.
This technology provides doctors the ability to evaluate patient care against quality measures for a variety of health conditions.

Dear Sirisha,
Thanks for your comment.
I dont think so Wipro is the first organisation to come up with medical gateway solution as of my knowlege.
Eurotech Group, a leading supplier of embedded technologies, also launched sometime back, the Everyware Medical Gateway designed mainly to help physicians and healthcare professionals to monitor remotely and manage the treatment of their diabetes patients. Everyware Medical Gateway solution requires little patient involvement and helps eliminate many of the impediments typically associated with chronic care home monitoring.
Even IBM is committed to provide complete, easy-to-use solutions that emphasize Eurotech commitment to open standards of Medical Gateway solutions.
that's a good idea sir,isn't
that's a good idea sir,isn't and that's very useful for the rural and global upliftment too....................

Yes Supriya, its a major upliftment in providing healthcare services not only in rural sectors but also globally. Monitoring patients remotely using this new technology will be a promising aspect of emerging smarter healthcare solutions, that offer the potential to not only reduce overall health care costs but also to improve patient outcomes and compliance.
