People living in rural and remote areas face 2-3 times higher preventable mortality rate than those who live in urban India. Our technology solution is powered by an advanced alert algorithm to function effectively in India’s most remote rural corners, without missing even a single heartbeat of a patient, and this is what makes it unique. We trust that this is another step forward in our mission to ensure equitable healthcare access.”

LifeConnect is powered by new-gen technology providing seamless 24×7 real-time streaming of patient data to doctors and hospitals while the patient is ambulatory, at home or en route, enabling them to deliver the best care for patients even while they are on the move or remote. Patients will have access to timely clinical intervention and spend less time travelling and seeking appointments to manage their health.

The installation of connected data systems in hospitals and other medical facilities is LifeSigns’ primary focus. LifeSigns deploys a dashboard application to clinicians that is adaptable to a variety of settings, such as primary healthcare institutions or hospital facilities. The software will have the capacity to monitor vital signs and other information about patients. LifeSigns’ deployed system will merge data from a wide variety of medical devices into a centralised location that can be accessed by qualified healthcare professionals anywhere anytime in their devices or central monitoring in the hospitals.
