Program areas at Intelehealth
Esanjeevani: esanjeevani is a project in which Intelehealth is contributing to the national health mission (nhm) by supporting the government in building a successful implementation model and a more user-centered technology for the esanjeevani telemedicine platform by the ministry of health and family welfare (mohfw, government of india). Intelehealth works as an implementation partner to the state government of jharkhand, odisha and bengaluru city for training of health workers and doctors, capacity building of leadership, community advocacy, technology development, monitoring, evaluation and research leading to a successful deployment of esanjeevani in the state. The initiative has made a profound impact, benefiting more than 1.26 million patients through consultations while training 6358 frontline health workers and 1482 doctors (april 2022 - march 2023). We also successfully completed a landmark research study on the impact of telemedicine and esanjeevani on healthcare access for women demonstrating an average savings of 21.72 kms in distance traveled and $11.48 in healthcare costs per health visit.

Telemed kg: Intelehealth, in collaboration with unicef & the ministry of health have successfully deployed telemed kg, a novel open-source & cloud-based telemedicine platform connecting providers at primary care facilities with specialists at tertiary hospitals to provide care for children with disabilities (cwds). Telemedkg connects primary health care providers to specialists to help diagnose & treat cwds using the early identification/early intervention approach & reduce delays in receiving appropriate treatment. Primary health care providers conduct health checkups and screenings to identify children currently living with disabilities and those at risk of developing developmental delays and disabilities. They connect with specialists and use clinical protocols to develop long term care plans for these children. The initiative facilitated 72 teleconsultations for children with disabilities (cwd), equipped 156 frontline health workers with essential training, and provided capacity building support to 23 doctors (april 2022 - march 2023). We successfully conducted a research study on the acceptability and effectiveness of this approach for improving access to care for cwds and their families. We also conducted a design workshop with key stakeholders on the use of telemedicine for family planning and sexual reproductive health.
