HOME CARE DIVISION (TELE- ECG PROGRAM)

This is first step of home care division of Telemedicine Centre. The centre has developed .Tele ECG
module under Tele cardiology solutions project. This tele ECG module has been developed as
unique research product in centre. This first of its kind service was launched by
Shri. Priyambhai Jhaveri vice – chairman of Nanavati Hospital on 18th March 2010. This portable
and handy device is a great diagnostic tool to know heart condition in heart patients specially after
heart attacks, angioplasty or after heart operations, who will get their ECG recorded at home and
transmitted to their physician’s mobile phone immediately for his quick advise.
This pioneering idea of twelve lead full ECG by a portable handy device was developed After 6
months of field trials of the device and mobile facility was perfected for use in masses. Future course
of Tele – ECG concept is to develop M2M technology within next few months and developing
devices for measuring B.P. , Oxygen saturation and other parameters in sick patients at home. Heart
patients will have to just dial Phone No : 022 – 26126656 between 10.30am to 5.30pm. for
registering at Telemedicine centre to avail Tele- ECG & ECG on Mobile service and a paramedic
will be sent with this portable device. In-fact this device is so simple that a patient himself can record
and send his ECG after little training. He can also rent or buy this not so expansive device for long
tern usage and keeping him connected to his heart specialist. This will enhance his confidence and
security that advice is about his ECG is ready at hand and his treating doctor can read his ECG his
ECG in no-time.
