health challenge details

Challenge #1

Diagnostics for rural India

The penetration of diagnostic services in India is mainly concentrated around metros and big cities. In rural India, the access to healthcare is restricted to primary health centres catering just the basic healthcare services. Typical health problems in rural India are related to nutritional deficiencies, lack of maternal and perinatal condition support, common occurrence of communicable diseases such as malaria, diarrhea, tuberculosis, and respiratory diseases. Shortage of hygiene infrastructure, lack of awareness, limited access to facilities, lack of trained medical personnel, dearth of medicines and good doctors are the key challenges faced by more than 70 percent of India’s population living in rural areas today.

The India-Israel Bridge is seeking “low fidelity, high frequency” solutions for diagnostics in rural India. The solutions will focus on cheap, low fidelity hardware that can capture recurring diagnostic data at a high frequency, and use machine learning and algorithmic data manipulation to accurately diagnose and predict conditions.

웹사이트에 대한 설명이 아닌 설명: 여기서 핵심 기술은 이 인구 집단이 저렴한 의료 서비스를 이용할 수 없는 문제를 해결할 수 있는 "저비용의 지능적이고 신뢰할 수 있으며 연결된" 장치가 부족하다는 것입니다. 장치의 "지능"은 농촌 지역의 "저숙련" 자원에 대한 쉬운 교육을 가능하게 해야 하며, "연결성"은 Tier 1 및 Tier 2 도시의 전문가에 접근하는 데 도움이 되어야 합니다 .

Challenge #2

NCD

Every year, roughly 5.8 million Indians die from heart and lung diseases, stroke, cancer and diabetes. In other words, 1 in 4 Indians risks dying from an Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) before they reach the age of 70. India stands to incur a loss of $4.58 trillion between 2012 and 2030 due to NCDs.

인도는 NCD로 인한 인간적, 경제적 위협에 직면해 있습니다. 심혈관 질환, 암, 만성 호흡기 질환, 당뇨병 및 기타 비전염성 질환은 인도 전체 사망의 60%를 차지하는 것으로 추산되며, 이는 부상 및 전염병, 산모, 산전 및 영양 상태에 앞서 주요 사망 원인이 됩니다. 더욱이 NCD는 모든 병원 입원의 약 40%, 기록된 모든 외래 환자 방문의 약 35%를 차지합니다.

NCDs are caused, in part, by underlying, modifiable risk factors. The major risk factors for NCDs in India are tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, lack of physical activity, and a poor diet.

Poor compliance to diet and to drug regimens, lack of exercise, unhealthy living standards and medical therapy in patients with NCD increase the risk of complications and death.

We are seeking high quality, innovative solutions that are affordable, accessible and sustainable, focusing on constant and real time health monitoring, home care, remote care, periodic counseling and advice on health management. This needs to take into account the existing technology and infrastructure in India, demand creation and service delivery.

Clarifying Remarks not for website: Fundamentally the challenge here is to move from a Reactive healthcare system to Preventive Healthcare system which will require “Affordable” & “Smart” ,devices for Screening of critical parameters on an a periodical manner and “Intelligent Alert systems” to patients, care givers and experts in case of a warning episode with the Patient.
