Harnessing Technological breakthroughs to over ride infrastructural barriers - To develop low cost technologies to make the delivery of such services feasible to locations where high-speed broadband has not yet penetrated. Some interesting projects involving the use of smartphones to digitize and transmit Xray images obtained at PHCs or small rural diagnostic centers , as well as developing low cost soft-ware for uploading, review, archival and reporting of such images are being actively supported by the Telerad Foundation.

Partners with Government Agencies and Rural Area Health Centers -The Foundation also supports ongoing projects that are focussed on developing low cost telemedicine solu-tions for delivery of primary as well as tertiary level consultations to a rural population.

Story from the Field Ms Devi from Itanagar aged 70 years, had been suffering from headache off and on and giddiness for a period of 3 months. The physician at Ramakrishna Mission Hospital Dr Kaki referred her for a CT scan which was performed with on 20/6/2015. Immediately the scan images were electronically transmitted to TRS teleradiolo-gy reporting center at Bangalore where Dr Harish BS reviewed the images and observed numerous small cysts within the brain, based on which he diagnosed the condition neurocysticercosis, representing a parasitic infec-tion of the brain that occurs from eating contaminated pork. This is a condition that is highly treatable with medication and does not require any surgical intervention. The appropriate treatment was therefore started immediately and Ms Devi is on course for an uncomplicated recovery in a very short time.
