“CONNECTING THE PATIENT ON VIDEO WITH A DOCTOR IS NOT DIGITAL HEALTH, THERE IS MUCH MORE TO IT”

Digital health is the way forward for the world at a time when it is going through one of its most uncertain phases during which mobility has been affected, the economy is in peril and human health is in danger. In June, New York Stock Exchange saw the listing of a company that can truly impact the future of world healthcare in this context. UpHealth Holdings, Inc., which was born through a reverse merger of four companies, combines the four essential components of digital healthcare — a low cost, but accountable system of care, an integrated care management platform, a tech-enabled behavioral health service unit and a full-service e-pharmacy capability. The new entity, which began trading on the NYSE at $9.29 a share on June 10th, was formed by the merger of Glocal Healthcare, a social venture and one of India’s pioneer digital health companies, and three US-based entities Thrasys, BHS & Transformations, and MedQuest. The company focuses on the three As of future healthcare — access anywhere, affordability for everyone and accountability of health outcomes. The founder of Glocal Healthcare and the chief architect of this new global healthcare fusion, DR SYED SABAHAT AZIM — a physician and former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) official, envisioned this a long time ago when he founded Glocal in 2010. Glocal was conceived as a social enterprise bringing quality healthcare to rural India through a combination of low cost primary and secondary care hospitals and digital dispensaries powered by technology. However, says he, the majority of the world, including people engaged in the service of healthcare, is yet to fully understand ‘digital health’ and ‘telemedicine’. Dr Sabahat says the term digital health is often misinterpreted even by healthcare providers, in an exclusive interview with Editor CH UNNIKRISHNAN.
