CUREIOS HEALTH EAPP PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Digitising Primary Care in India. Primary healthcare problem is posing as a “workflow” problem in clinics. 70% of healthcare in India happens at a primary care level (read: OP clinics, standalone and part of hospitals). Yet, there are absolutely no systems at that level. Workflow is chaotic, patients come and go at various points without any documentation. This is distressing to both doctors and patients. Primary and secondary care forms the foundation of healthcare delivery. Yet, health-tech often fails physicians in this segment. Without assistants and a team of staff, technology becomes an additional burden to them. The complexities and chaos of primary and secondary healthcare delivery are not addressed by today’s Electronic Health Records solutions, which are built by technologists in silos, with little understanding of clinical problems. Technologists are ill-equipped to solve clinical problems. Practising doctors should drive the technology solutions for their problems, investing first-hand in what shapes their healthcare delivery. What happens when HIT providers ignore primary care and build software solutions only for hospital-based tertiary/quarternary care? The vast majority remains under-served. 80% of healthcare is delivered in primary and secondary care levels. Yet, they are the least impacted by today’s health-tech, leading to lack of data and insight from the ground. Early detection and wellness for the whole country would suffer. Simply because the earliest of the symptoms occur at the primary stage and the problem is best identified then. Without a robust EHR system for the primary and secondary care segments, there is no data and insight from the ground. In this vacuum, we saw an opportunity.The more we understood how this segment works, the more we saw that the space was open for disruption. We knew that regulation will also soon catch up and doctors will start looking for help. We built SlashDr to address this SlashDr is EHR for the under-served. SlashDr is an ERP-class configurable solution, implemented as an iPad-app, built keeping the primary and secondary care providers in mind. SlashDr isn’t fixated on a workflow. Doctors don’t like an app telling them how to do their work. So, SlashDr doesn’t. It embraces the chaos that defines their space, carefully configured to meet their specific needs, putting the doctors in control. With the opportunity came challenges. Doctors have no time! Doctors who provide primary and secondary care are among the most overworked in the country. Spending time with them and understanding their needs is next to impossible. But more importantly, doctors see documenting as giving up their ‘secret sauce’ and ceding control. To convince them of the benefits of using a product like this, emotional appeal is just as important as the strengths of the product itself.
