Problem We Are Solving
Over 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 programmes, Ikure’s unique healthcare model is creating healthy communities in rural India.
Strategy
Ikure has developed a patent pending technology platform called Wireless Health Incident Monitoring System (WHIMS). The technology integration operates via a hub and spoke model and is supported by an 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 smartphones that are carried by health workers to diagnose, monitor, and track patients in difficult-to-reach remote terrains.
