The app even allows patients to have a five minutes one-on-one consultation with the doctor and make request for home consultation for nurses or doctors post making in-app payment. "We go beyond the conventional ways. Hence, to ensure patients get best medical facilities at af-fordable prices, we have come up with a unique approach called HealthBid where hospitals and diagnostic centres bid their offerings to the patients looking for services they offer," says Dr. Sujeeth Reddy Punnam MD, Chairman & Founder, Click2Clinic.Making Healthcare Local & SecureBeing second in geriatric population globally, India's el-derly populace is still deprived of basic healthcare facili-ties. And with kids moving to metro and foreign locations, their ordeal seems to be just the beginning. To end their suffering and ensure peace of mind for kids staying far, Click2Clinic's HomeHeal is a boon. Acting as a health-care aggregator, the app's geolocalise feature empowers patients to find the closest healthcare provider and in turn make a request for consultation from the on-board-ed doctors, nurses and physiotherapists. The on-boarded healthcare professionals turn their app on when available and show up on the geolocalise map, and when the pa-tients open their app, they can just click and request ser-vices at their home. But how does the company ensure that the on-boarded professionals and their services are authentic? "Only after a detailed due diligence and thorough back-ground and certificate verification through Medical Council of India and other certifying bodies is any pro-fessional on-boarded on Clinicopedia," claims Sujeeth.Rural areas have been treated as a step-child by health-care providers for long. But Click2Clinic has always be-lieved in taking the road less travelled. Hastened to stitch the gap between the rural and the urban areas, Click2Clin-ic's Rural Telemedicine operator visits patients' home and arranges HealthCall app based five minute tele-consultation with doctors and specialists empanelled with its network. However, lack of education, proper healthcare knowledge and facilities played the road blocks. Taking the bull by its horns, the company created a group of healthcare workers who provide door-to-door healthcare services, for instance, practicing registered medical practitioners of ASHA work-ers. "We get them on-boarded as RTMOs through Health-care Sector Skill Council (HSSC) through our tie-up with them," asserts Sujeeth. Working hand-in-glove with Medicity Medical College in Hyderabad, Click2Clinic provide them 100 hours cur-riculum, which is part video-based and part onsite training. "Once certified by HSSC and getting Union Government endorsed certification to provide basic medical services, we on-board them and create a niche triangle wherein rural people can avail a consultation from an urban physician through these rural telemedicine operators," adds he. En Route to FutureFor the last one year, Click2Clinic was engaged in modi-fying its technology after thorough research of the require-ments of the industry, the stakeholders' expectations and how they want to improve their services. This is why the recently launched healthcare social networking app is cre-ating strides in the industry. Click2Clinic aims to reach 20 tier I, II and metro cities of the country and at least 1000 villages in terms of RTMOs within next one year, while 2018 will see a more significant expansion. To meet this huge growth plans, this seed funded com-pany is in the process of negotiation with few investment companies for a bridge funding in next six months, and by the year end, it will go for another round of funding. Click2Clinic is also in the advanced phase of negotiat-ing for starting its operations in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. HEALTHCARETECHNOLOGYSolution Providers - 201720 MOST PROMISING
