Having said that, I would like to emphasize on the urgency of bringing such relevant literature into contemporary writings as it will only nurture ideas that have potential to become magnanimous.

India has achieved great progress in the delivery of healthcare in the country during the last few decades. It has been one of the greatest sectors in terms of employment and income, and it is rapidly expanding. In India, healthcare is primarily provided by either public or private providers. The major goal of public healthcare is to provide primary care through community-based

health programs, to reduce death and morbidity from various communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Basic health services are supplied through sub-centers and primary health centers, while secondary and tertiary care is given by better-equipped establishments such as community health centers, district hospitals, and medical colleges, which are primarily located at district headquarters.

redence Medicure Corporation is a USbased company that offers global medical commissionaire and concierge services to the healthcare industry and medical tourism via a unique online platform. It has a presence in India.

Credence Medicure Corporation, based in Texas, was founded to become a global commissionaire and concierge service provider for the healthcare business. Credence has created a gateway with full Electronic Medical Record (EMR) features for video conferencing online consultations with patients. The Corporation’s primary aim, in addition to delivering medical consultations in local locations, is to build a global Medical Tourism business using its technology platform.

Credence does not endorse any particular hospital or chain of hospitals, nor does it have any affiliation with any particular physician or surgeon. Their mission is to ensure that the patient is protected by the basic idea of healthcare, which is to enhance health through prevention, correct diagnosis, and healing therapy.

Credence makes every effort, to the best of its abilities, to protect the patient from unneeded medical intervention through internal mechanisms. This sets Credence apart from all other medical tourism organizers across the world.

Why Choose Them?

Observance of the American Medical Association’s Medical Ethics Principles The American Medical Association’s (AMA) Principles of Medical Ethics are a set of moral guidelines that apply values to clinical practice. Respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and fairness are among these principles. These concepts have been incorporated into Credence’s policy framework and standard operating procedures. They do not endorse any institution or associate themselves with any specific physician or surgeon. Their purpose is to ensure that the patient is protected by these basic medical principles.

Using Telemedicine to Connect Patients and Doctors Telemedicine, often known as Telehealth, is the concept of providing healthcare over a long distance by connecting doctors and patients who are not physically present with one another. It can be difficult for a person to travel to see a doctor at times. Busy schedules, natural calamities, or situations brought on by communicable diseases like COVID-19 can all contribute to such issues. Such patients can interact online with the portal’s specialized doctors, seek medical advice about their health condition, and transition to an appropriate level of care from the comfort of their own homes, thanks to Credence’s digital platform.

Before going on a medical trip, connect with a doctor one-on-one.

Credence is the first service provider to successfully promote medical tourism using telehealth solutions.

Telemedicine for Medical Tourism is a new business model that has yet to be implemented and is referred to as Virtual Medical Tourism. Patients contact oneon-one with doctors using Credence’s unique EMRcapable online portal to get expert assistance. Because the physician has access to all of the patient’s medical records on the portal, informed decisions may be made about the patient’s future treatment and procedures, if necessary.

Qure Artificial Intelligence Algorithms for Medical Imaging

Prashant Warier CEO & Co-Founder

What they are?

Their Goal

Medical data is being generated at an exponential rate, from medical pictures to connected devices. Traditional diagnostic procedures are rendered obsolete as a result of this, as well as new types of data generated by genome sequencing and biosensors. Qure has a team of dedicated computer scientists, medical practitioners, and bioinformaticians to use deep learning to make healthcare more accessible and inexpensive. They believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the answer to guaranteeing that healthcare practitioners can focus on the cases that matter, while machines diagnose and treat the ones that aren’t as important. Their goal is to use deep learning to identify disease using radiology and pathology imaging, as well as to develop individualized cancer therapy programs using psychopathology imaging and genetic sequences.

In 2016, Qure.ai was established. Their goal is to make healthcare more accessible and inexpensive by utilizing artificial intelligence. Deep learning expertise is combined with clinical, scientific, and regulatory understanding in their core team. Radiologists, other doctors, and public health professionals make up their advisory panel. They collaborate with these experts to identify clinically relevant issues and provide practical solutions.

They conducted research to assess the accuracy of a set of deep learning algorithms that were trained to detect head CT anomalies that required immediate treatment (against three radiologists). Intraparenchymal (IPH), intraventricular (IVH), subdural (SDH), extradural (EDH), and subarachnoid (SAH) intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) and skull fractures are all detected by the learning algorithms. They also detect mass effect and midline displacement, both of which are utilized as markers of brain injury severity.

It’s critical to construct sophisticated natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to tap into the expertise included in radiology reports since it allows them to create ground truth labels at scale (hundreds of thousands to millions of scans).

Dr Brennan Spiegel, a solid promoter of VR in medication, gave a whole MedEd address in VR. He has additionally been utilizing this innovation in his introductions at the yearly Virtual Medicine gathering.

Simply the prospect of such a show is invigorating, presently contemplate going to one! With the intelligent potential outcomes that VR offers like 3D representation and gamification, crowd commitment and the general nature of the meeting can soar.

Healthcare sector in India: Spotlight

I

ndia has achieved great progress in the delivery of healthcare in the country during the last few decades. It has been one of the greatest sectors in terms of employment and income, and it is rapidly expanding. In India, healthcare is primarily provided by either public or private providers. The major goal of public healthcare is to provide primary care through community-based health programs, to reduce death and morbidity from various communicable and noncommunicable diseases. Basic health services are supplied through sub-centers and primary health centers, while secondary and tertiary care is given by better-equipped establishments such as community health centers, district hospitals, and medical colleges, which are primarily located at district headquarters.

Estimated Numbers

India’s healthcare market is estimated to reach USD372 billion by 2022, driven by growing healthcare awareness, rising incomes, increased access to insurance, and lifestyle-related disorders. By 2025, the Indian government wants healthcare spending to reach 2.5 percent of GDP (gross domestic product).

The COVID-19 pandemic has also changed the way the government and private players intend to reform the healthcare sector. Telemedicine services have received more attention, and the government has established new criteria to make telemedicine a legitimate activity in India.

Tier I and II cities are where the private sector is Region-wise quality of healthcare most concentrated.
