Lockdown Scenario How might Dinesh, a 40-year-old patient with sudden pain in his right ear visit a doctor to diagnose the problem? In the current scenario, routine checkups and health conditions which are not so severe have been very challenging to deal with. Health systems are racing to adapt and even develop virtual services that can serve as their front line for patients with symptoms of coronavirus or dealing with other health problems. Now doctors, hospital networks and clinics are rethinking how the technology can be used, to keep the worried calm and away from clinical care while steering the most at risk to the proper treatment.
Problem Identified PROBLEM DESCRIPTION How should hospitals and doctors take care of such a patient’s appointments when Dinesh is prone to infection (due to an underlying health condition) if he visits the hospital? How can patients with other health problems be treated/ monitored for their routine check ups during this thrust on the health care facilities? WHY IS IT AN URGENT PROBLEM? Apart from COVID-19, there have been other health conditions that have been difficult to cater to by health practitioners, To understand more about the needs of patients, we found a study in 2011 which states that the patients visiting general practitioners had problems like fever (35.5%), more than half of all patients presented with respiratory symptoms, digestive system symptoms (25%), circulatory symptoms (12.5%) and skin complaints (9%) amongst others. In India, the ratio of doctor to citizens is 1.34 to 1,000 as of 2017. A user friendly solution is a need of the hour to screen, diagnose and cure these conditions.

Explorations SOLUTIONS & IDEAS Health care delivery model to provide services like self-monitoring devices, early disease screening, and healthcare management solutions in rural and urban areas. Makeshift clinics could be set up in spaces which are not being used currently, where social distancing could be practiced. These spaces could be hotels/ stadiums/ temporary camps/ vans/ large vehicles. We could predict the needs which are going to be unfolded and creatively transform existing spaces to cater to these.
Solution HOW DOES YOUR SOLUTION ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED PROBLEM? A Telehealth platform which provides efficient telehealth services by partnering with pharmacies/other providers around the region of a patient who wants to scheduled a call. A telemedicine kit (in case the patient doesn’t have the necessary equipment) could be delivered to the patient before the call takes place to aid easy diagnosis for the doctor during the virtual check-up. The call could have interactions which aids the diagnosis and also engages the patient to simulate an in-person visit.
