In his latest post on Twitter, Mahindra has posted a video that shows remote healthcare can be a reality amid the pandemic outbreak. The viral video from Israel shows how routine check-ups can be done through advanced technology. It shows a doctor leaving a home hospitalization kit at the doorstep of a patient suffering from Coronavirus. The kit contains a phone tablet, a camera and a motion-sensing wireless stethoscope.
Further in the video, a doctor is seen talking to the patient through the tablet and examining her throat through the camera. The doctor is seen examining her throat though a monitor. He then asked the patient to place the stethoscope on four points on her chest. The points are marked on the monitor that indicate the condition of the chest. As the patient was breathing clearly, the doctor ruled out the diagnosis for pneumonia.
Mahindra wrote in the tweet, “This may not just be the way to handle Covid 19 but also the future of remote healthcare,” adding that he is not surprised that the video of such an innovative concept has come from Israel.

This is the future of Telemedicine - not only during pandemic but later to connect underprivileged healthcare seekers in remote areas and also convenience for urban patients. Will be very useful for our country in times to come.

Genuine survival kit this is, far above the human touch that does make the treatment work. How profoundly the doctors is establishing communication with the patient is the key.
