Google Cloud partners Karnataka government to improve critical care – Times of India

Google Cloud and eGovernments Foundation along with the directorate of health and family welfare Karnataka has launched the first TeleICU hub at KR Hospital in the presence. 10BedICU is a program managed by the eGovernments Foundation and conceived during the pandemic to create ICUs (intensive care units) in government hospitals across the country, especially in rural and remote areas. The objective of the 10BedICU program is to create a hub-and-spoke model where specialists from medical colleges manage the 10BedICUs in remote taluka hospitals that are connected to a TeleICU Hub. In Mysore, the TeleICU hub in K R Hospital is connected to peripheral taluka government hospitals in Nanjangud, HD Kote, Santhemarahalli, Malavalli and Virajpet.
Technology provides the backbone of the 10BedICU program. Efficient and streamlined patient care at each 10BedICU is made possible by eGovernments Foundation’s CARE platform, a cloud-based open source patient management tool, as well as a smart capacity management software and patient management software. These form a TeleICU module which runs on Google Cloud’s secure, scalable and reliable infrastructure and can be seamlessly accessed in real-time by medical professionals at the TeleICU hub in KR Hospital and the connected spoke hospitals.
The TeleICU hub at KR Hospital is also equipped with large 4K monitors and desktops while the peripheral 10BedICUs are equipped with desktops, server, high-resolution cameras and medical devices connected via LAN. In Karnataka, the 10bedICU program will cover 41 taluka hospitals with up to two hospitals in every district.
“At Google Cloud, we believe that cloud technology can play a significant role in advancing patient care and healthcare outcomes. We are thrilled to work with the eGov team to bring critical care closer to people, and extend the reach of the healthcare network,” said Bikram Singh Bedi, managing director, Google Cloud India.
