Mumbai, Maharashtra, India., March 19, 2013 - (Press Release Worldwide) - Mr. Pratik Gandhi, the Head of Media Relations and co-founder of Vertilex Web Solutions PVT Ltd, announced the launch of Online Health Safe, a service that allows users to book an appointment with the family physician or a doctor of choice, with the online service. Users can maintain their medical records online. “People have moved to use of computers in every activity of life – entertainment, communication, shopping, travel, etc. But never really used computers for health purposes, other than searching online for a symptom. This service will change the way communication exists between a patient and his doctor, forever.”, pointed out Pratik.

Pratik Gandhi, boasts that this is the first service of its kind in India to offer connectivity between Physician, Patient, and referred Specialists; and as well as storage & sharing of medical records. Pratik mentioned how normal people have not yet used Technology to help in daily or frequent medical needs. People in India still use the old primitive way to make an appointment and store a file with the records, prescriptions etc. “When they go to a new doctor or even the same physician after a gap, it’s difficult to get the medical history out for the doctor. It adds to serious trouble when there is a medical emergency during travel.”, informs Pratik.

Mr. Yagnesh Shah, the BD, Relationships head & Co-founder, says “It’s a no brainer for the users. It’s like using computers finally for your medical needs. It’s that big of a step. Also the doctors get a lot of benefit using this. Clinic Management, Patient History, Referrals, Everything they do manually, can be done using this computerized service. We are also making doctors get online by offering them a tablet for FREE along with wireless internet connection. They are now moving around with their clinic in their hands. Daily Reporting and activity management also used to be a big headache for the doctors, which is now just a click of a button.”

Mr. Karan Gandhi, the co-founder and technology head shares that the system is so comprehensive yet secure that you have everything practically available at the touch of a button yet secured safely on a server with access to only the user and doctors authorized by the user, thereby maintaining highest level of online privacy. “It is already lightning fast but to prepare ourselves for future, we are planning to go on cloud in the next phase of our launch.”, quipped Karan when asked about the load sharing, given the number of users who are already interested in this service.

Online Health Safe (OHS) is also promoting heavily online using Twitter, Facebook and blogs. “A lot of contests are being run on our fan pages, Twitter handles (#OHS) to spread the awareness of this service. We are the leaders or the trend setters in this domain, and not far away is the day when it will become a norm for users”, says Yagnesh proudly.

As a promotional offer, OHS is offering free goodies worth Rs. 20,000 and a trial subscription for 1 year, for Physicians.  Users can also win 1 year subscriptions worth Rs 1000, by participating in contests that are being run on Twitter and Facebook.

OHS - Connecting to your Family Doctor

We always land up at our family doctor's residence or clinic whenever we have a problem with our health. A recent survey by OHS on social media revealed that over 96% of the users go to their family doctor on the start of a health problem and they are the first point of contact in such emergencies. With such large number of people depending on them, its a major surprise that no one has a way to effectively and conveniently contact & book appointments with them. OHS is the first service that allows you to book with YOUR family doctor at the leisure of your home, by just clicking the button your computer.

The doctors on the other hand can effectively manage the patients and knows details about their upcoming patients from their desk.

Very effective and necessary tool, to begin with.

I will write more on the software and the features when i am done reviewing it. For now, I think it has managed to create a niche for itself in the medical software market in India.

Let me know your feedback.

OHS - Background

This blog is dedicated to technology usage in the healthcare maintenance. We have started using technology for most activities we do in life, but most people still dont use even basic computer programs to store their health information. Most of the information we have are from the reports that we collect from doctors, surgeons, specialists, pathology labs, etc. All these information are on hard copy with us, and usually not available readily for review or sharing with your doctor. 

I will be writing details on one such service, OHS, which has effectively addressed these issues and brought out a cost effective solution for Indian users. 

OHS, or Online Health Safe (onlinehealthsafe) is an online/offline health service of users - both patients and doctors to effectively communicate with each other. Simple !

Read more in my upcoming posts. Also you can visit their website www.onlinehealthsafe.com 

Hope you enjoy my writing and do let me know your thoughts on this service.
