Problem we are solvingOver 450 rural residents in India are served by only 30 per cent of the country's combined medical force. Recognising the gap, iKure is skilling community members to deliver last mile health care in remote rural communities. Leveraging technology, empowering community workers and implementing behaviour change programme, iKure's unique healthcare model is creating healthy communities in rural India. StrategyiKure has developed a patent pending technology platform called Wireless Health Incident Monitoring System (WHIMS). The technology integration operates via hub and spoke model and supported by army of rural health workers who are trained and equipped by iKure to provide primary healthcare to remote patients. WHIMS supported with basic bio-medic devices is loaded on smart phones that are carried by health workers to diagnose, monitor and track patients in difficult-to-reach remote terrains. Realising that there are many remote areas which do not even have access to a PHC within a 20 kilometer radius, for them iKure has set up its own chain of health clinics employing medical team of doctors, paramedic staff and health workers. Equipped with data analytics collected through WHIMS, iKure team works in partnership with research institutes, NGOs and healthcare partners to identify endemic health issues in communities and design holistic disease prevention solutions, including sanitation, hygiene and nutritional components that treat the disease from its root cause.Progress made since inception• Developed last mile cloud hosted technology WHIMS • Developed hub and spoke model equipped with medical team • Partnered with University of Michigan and Deshpande Foundation for mother & child health intervention through CHWs.• Partnered with TATA Trust & PRADAN to provide last mile healthcare delivery .
