FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: Real time patient data monitoring for dialysis patients

In the majority of dialysis centres in India, patient data is recorded on paper and manually managed. To change this, NephroPlus, the largest dialysis network in India, has created a platform to monitor and maintain patient data digitally. In select centres, it has deployed real-time data which allows the clinical staff to monitor patient data remotely. This data has captured information on the Indian population which can be applied to further clinical research and awareness of nephrology. Its platform has allowed NephroPlus to generate automated recommendations and understand micro and macro trends which can influence its quality and decision making going forward.

To meet high demand, NephroPlus has franchised its training academy with seven currently operational and a further eight to open in 2018. With the ability to meet increased demand, it has also developed an optimal staff mix ratio to eradicate wasted spending.
