IMPROVING HEALTH CARE ACCESS IN THE RURAL COMMUNITIES WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY“TELEMEDICINE/TELEHEALTH AND MOIBLE MEDICAL CENTER PARADIGM”


Executive SummaryTechnological innovations lead to applications development for enhancement of human life and its value, which largely remained limited to certain areas of the world creating Digital Divide.

Rapid development of telecommunication technology has given the opportunity for access to development system, irrespective of geographic distance, again such remained confined to urban population of many nations, creating Digital Access Divide (DãD).

The Rural Organ for Access to Development (The ROAD Project) is an initiative, to allow access to development tools for rural population in less developed areas of developing nations.

Executive Summary - Continued

The first program under the ROAD project is an Integrated Mobile Medical & Telemedicine/Telehealth Research Centers, a healthcare delivery and management vehicle for the developing countries.

The Mobile Medical Center which is built on a large van or trailer, epitomizes the Millennium initiative to bring healthcare technology closer to the beneficiaries in the rural population. The aim has been to bring advancements in modern medical sciences at the doorstep of the common man, who otherwise would have been neglected of its benefits.


Executive Summary (continued)

• These private sector programs will empower development schemes of government and non-government machineries, to create a viable, visible and sustainable access mechanism, for continued development of rural population, as newer technologies evolve.

• This health care model will make it possible to provide state of the art comprehensive health care to the needy and poor people at their doorstep in remote areas of Latin American Countries practically at no cost to the recipients, since relatives abroad will underwrite the cost of services for the relatives at home.


Mission

To harness the advanced efficiencies and capabilities of current medical, information, and communications technologies to improve the delivery of primary and specialized health care to rural populations.


Objectives• Meet basic and primary health care needs of rural

communities.• Deliver expert medical services to rural doctors, nurses,

healthcare aids.• Provide network-based tele-diagnostic services and sample

collection for testing at advanced laboratories.• Assure timely intervention into disease processes.• Provide an intervention resource for disease.• Increase awareness for safe motherhood and childhood.• Improve patient compliance; reduce drug abuse.• Improve delivery and administration of prescription drugs.• Deploy each MMTTRC at a cost <US $500,000.• Provide support resources to rural medical professionals to

improve care delivery to their patients.• Elevate the rural economy by

– reducing morbidity rate and healthcare costs– reducing frequency and costs of travel for medical purposes– improving productivity
