 Bengaluru, August 25, 2024: Aster DM Healthcare Limited (“Company”), one of the largest integrated healthcare providers in India, has launched Tele-ICU services under the Aster Connected Care arm in India. The services leveraging technology will provide comprehensive support to healthcare providers to enhance patient care.

The Aster Connected Care Tele-ICU services provide key critical care services such as expert intensivists availability, continuous monitoring of ICUs by qualified critical care staff, 24/7 audio visual communication, rapid response alerts, regular virtual rounds, support & counselling of patients and their families. Data driven clinical decision approach ensures best possible care and treatment outcomes for patients.

Dr. Harsha Rajaram, CEO of Aster Digital Health, stated, “The potential of digital technology is boundless. Aster Tele-ICU brings global standard of critical – care through its experienced intensivist and critical care nurses by leveraging technology. Our services span across various geographies and time zones, and support as a second eye to the on-ground teams in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Our solution aims at bridging the gap by making available qualified experienced intensivist at a click of a button and, our evidence-based practice ensures high-quality patient care.”

Going further, the division aims to expand by partnering with small and medium-sized hospitals in tier 2 and tier 3 cities throughout India. The objective is to utilize Aster’s skilled manpower to deliver critical care services to areas that lack specialized expertise, using a hub-and-spoke model.

The tele-icu services which had a soft launch four months ago have already provided valuable assistance to 250+ patients in some of the remotest villages in states like Bihar and Karnataka underscoring the effectiveness and significance of this service in delivering critical care to those in need.  The team also has deployed an intelligent and robust technology that is secure, safe, and easy to use. The presence of 24/7 command centre, and a well-qualified critical care team, well experienced and specialized in monitoring, aims to bridge the gap in quality critical care in the rural sector.

As the boundaries of healthcare continue to blur, Tele-ICU stands as a beacon of hope, extending the reach of critical care beyond hospital walls. In an era defined by uncertainty, one certainty remains: the promise of Tele-ICU in shaping the future of critical care, one life-saving intervention at a time.
