Kvoni Telehealth (Rural Healthcare Network, India)

Scale

50+ Primary Health Centers | 3 Tertiary Hospitals | 500,000+ Population Served

Challenge

Rural areas across 5 states faced severe specialist shortage. Patients traveled 4-6 hours for basic specialist consultations. High costs (travel, lost wages) meant many skipped care. Maternal mortality, cardiac deaths high due to delayed diagnosis.

Solution Implemented

• Doccure telemedicine platform deployed across all PHCs
• 9 IoT medical devices per PHC (BP monitor, glucometer, ECG, stethoscope, pulse oximeter, thermometer, weighing scale, spirometer, portable ultrasound)
• Paramedics trained on device usage and telemedicine protocols
• Specialists at hub hospitals scheduled dedicated telemedicine hours
• Ambulances equipped for critical care telemedicine

Results (After 12 Months)

• 15,000+ telemedicine consultations conducted
• 80% reduction in unnecessary referrals — Specialists resolve issues remotely
• 60% decrease in patient travel costs — Average family saves ₹3,000 per consultation (travel + lost wages)
• 150+ complications prevented — AI alerts flagged high-risk cases before emergencies
• Maternal mortality reduced 35% — Prenatal care via telemedicine, early risk detection
• Cardiac deaths reduced 28% — ECG telemedicine enables early intervention
• 1,000+ patients/month on chronic disease management — Remote BP, glucose monitoring
• 40% improvement in medication adherence — Digital reminders + family oversight

Patient Testimonial

“My 65-year-old father had chest pain at night. No doctor in our village after 6 PM. The health worker connected us to a cardiologist 200 km away using Doccure. The doctor saw his ECG immediately and said it’s a heart attack. Ambulance came with equipment, and the hospital team guided treatment during transport via video. My father survived. Before Doccure, he would have waited until morning and probably died.” — Ramesh K., Patient’s Son

Healthcare Provider Testimonial

“As a cardiologist, I can now reach patients in villages I could never visit physically. I see 20+ rural patients per week via telemedicine without leaving my hospital. The IoT devices give me reliable data, and AI assists with preliminary analysis. It’s expanded my impact tremendously.” — Dr. Anjali Mehta, Cardiologist
