The Doctor Insights Dashboard feature release from ROBIN is a doctor-facing UI designed to easily track the critical aspects of their patient visits with predefined algorithms and quick links to visual charts. It acts as an ultimate assistant to doctors and plays a pivotal role in elevating and revolutionizing healthcare delivery.

The dashboard equips doctors with a view of: 

• Hawk eye view of patient demographics – Quick summary of gender ratio, age groups etc

• Patient retention plans - Compare and analyse patient visit trends to retain and achieve in-clinic success

• Actionable Intelligence on in-clinic growth - make informed decision on clinic upgrades by understanding source of business, patient persona’s, - Acute vs Chronic Patients etc

“Our products are designed to solve the fundamental problems faced by an Indian doctor. It is one of the rare moments in the industry where a doctors’ opinion has led to the engineering of the all-new, one-click Doctor Insights Dashboard. It delivers a faster, smarter, and comprehensive way to achieve in-clinic success. The dashboard takes doctors practice to the next level and enables them to drive better health outcomes at the point of care. We are here to empower the doctor community and bring them one step closer to digitize healthcare practices” says Mr Sandeep Gudibanda – CEO and Co-Founder of HealthPlix Technologies.

Our analysis of 6000+ registered doctor feedback revealed that a single simplified view of patient facts leads to informed decisions as part of a doctor's practice journey. With this in-house engineered feature, HealthPlix has given the power in the hands of a doctor who can deep dive to the most granular level. Doctors can open the Insights Dashboard within seconds in HealthPlix EMR and get to know everything about their in-clinic practice. 

Commenting on the feature release, Chaitanya Raju, Chief of AI at HealthPlix Technologies said, "So far, health-tech innovation has not supported doctors in improving care and staying ahead of their competition. As the name suggests, in-clinic Doctor Insights Dashboard is a visual representation of patient metrics. Our vision is to win doctors confidence with tools that eliminate time-consuming tasks, deliver outstanding patient care, shorten wait times, and elevate the in-clinic experience.”

It is one of its kind insights dashboards developed by HealthPlix that helps doctors analyse the factors, trends, and correlations in medical practice. By default, the overall view pulls information together for all patients. Today, patient experience stands at the core of healthcare services. It is of utmost importance for doctors to provide personalized treatment by leveraging digital transformation. Digital tools help healthcare providers with an extensive view of patient health by increasing access to health data and giving patients greater control over their health.

HealthPlix has received funding from leading investors such as Lightspeed Venture Partners, JSW Ventures, Kalaari Capital and Chiratae Ventures, to name a few. In their latest round of funding, HealthPlix raised $13.5 million as part of Series B funding, which was led by Lightspeed Ventures and joined by existing investors.

The Great Social Media Blackout Of The Year 2021

As we all know that we have passed the great Social Media Blackout of 2021, hence, Mr. Nanjunda Prasad Ramesh, CEO, Multi-Verse Technologies feels that “The Facebook suite collapsed like a house of cards on Monday which led to the Great Social Media Blackout of 2021 for 6 hours. One thing to keep in mind is that such things do happen in the tech world and it cannot be avoided. However, the impact could have been minimized or eliminated to a large extent. Facebook ran three different apps from one centralized infrastructure. To top it all, it was a single point of failure for users worldwide. If things go wrong, users across the world are impacted. This outage demonstrates the risks of the whole Internet being dependent on one company and this could have been minimized. Within few hours of the incident, a Twitter user posted a question: “If WhatsApp isn’t back by tomorrow, is it a holiday?” We don’t want this situation to arise again. A possible solution to this is to segregate infrastructure by country/region so that the impact in case of failure is minimized/localized. It also helps respect the local data laws of that particular country/region. From a user’s perspective, we need to have alternatives available. It is not good for the entire world to be dependent on apps from one single company. Especially when communication, business transactions are dependent on them.”

OMRON Healthcare Revamps Its Telehealth Offerings With Unique Features

* Introduces Health Gift and BP Diary for its app users 

OMRON Healthcare India, the leading player in digital home blood pressure monitoring segment, is all set to strengthen its presence in the telehealth & remote patient monitoring domain via provision of advanced digital experience to users based on unique upgrades in its mobile app.  

The company has introduced a suite of innovative features in its existing app “OMRON Connect” used by lakhs of people across the country using OMRON Digital BP Monitors and Body Composition Monitors. The enhancements include introduction of a unique Health Gift programme and an online & sophisticated BP-diary to reward the ones who are doing monitoring with useful goodies and further inculcate the habit of BP monitoring at home in a convenient & articulate manner. It also includes an upgrade in the data management capacity of the application plus capabilities to make interface with other companies’ healthcare applications possible. 

Health Gift aims to make the monitoring more engaging & valuable. The feature encourages regular tracking of health stats using OMRON blood pressure monitors and body composition monitors with rewards like health coins & tickets (with each measurement) that can be exchanged for useful & varied gifts & vouchers. The BP Diary, allows users to record their blood pressure in accordance with their lifestyle helping to recognize trends for more customized and effective BP management.  

Patients with non-communicable diseases like hypertension & diabetes rely a lot on home healthcare data for periodic measurement & right treatment. However, it becomes challenging for many as they are not tech savvy, the devices are not connectable, the historical data is not easily accessible and the real time sharing between the patient and the physician is complicated. An advanced application like OMRON Connect with capabilities to fetch data from even non-connected OMRON BP monitors devices via OCR function is a great value-add to make the experience of OMRON device users useful and bring in more users to the platform.  

Speaking about this launch, Masanori Matsubara, MD, OMRON Healthcare India comments, “Out of a base of around 350 million hypertensive patients and 135 million people struggling with weight management, many of them shy away from regular monitoring and use the applications as they find the whole experience cumbersome. In the current scenario, led by the global health crisis, OMRON believes telehealth has immense possibilities in store to benefit the people via enabling more regular & efficient home healthcare monitoring. OMRON aims to take bigger leaps in this sphere via introducing significant improvements in our owned digital assets and also by becoming a part of the ecosystem through collaborations with remote healthcare services providers.” 

With teleconsultation witnessing almost 500% rise during pandemic (between March & May 2020), reports indicate a strong change in health consumers pattern in the telehealth sphere.   A 2019 study on the use of mobile health apps highlights the importance of user experience factors like data collection efficiency and app interface for encouraging routine use of tracking features. This indicates the need for improved telehealth app features that benefit the consumers.  

As the pandemic continues, home healthcare management remains essential for people to ensure their wellbeing. These features will make health tracking with OMRON a more holistic experience enabling people realize their health goals with ease and accuracy and will also push the organization closer to its vision of achieving ‘Zero’ cardiovascular events.

Telefónica Tech And CyberArk To Deliver New Identity Security Managed Service Offering

* Managed Services Provider Expands Cybersecurity Offerings with New Identity-Driven Solutions Built on CyberArk

Telefónica Tech, the leading digital transformation enabler, and CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in Identity Security, are teaming up to deliver an expanded portfolio of SaaS-based cybersecurity solutions that prioritize a security-first approach to protecting against identity-driven risk. Customers will benefit from being able to secure access for all human and machine identities without sacrificing business agility.

As part of this agreement, both Telefónica B2B customers as well as Telefónica telecommunications operators will have access to a new set of innovative cybersecurity offerings, built on the CyberArk Identity Security Platform. Telefónica Tech will offer the CyberArk platform as a managed service, addressing the Identity Security needs of customers - from large enterprises to SMBs - in multiple countries including Brazil, Germany, Spain, the UK and the USA.

Organizations are deploying increasingly complex enterprise networks in order to enable remote work and accelerate digital transformation. As a result, traditional perimeter-based approaches to security are no longer sufficient – there are simply too many critical credentials, secrets and identities to manage without a best-in-class Identity Security solution. Cybercriminals are regularly able to exploit gaps in network perimeters and negatively impact businesses by compromising both user and machine identities.

Centered on privileged access management, the CyberArk Identity Security Platform delivers a security-first approach to authentication, authorization, access and audit, in an integrated, seamless manner — helping to ensure protection at every step in the Identity Security lifecycle with a frictionless user experience.

“Organizations are struggling to adapt their corporate security in the post-pandemic scenario. To cope with this changing situation, Telefónica Tech aims to address this need with market-leading security management services, based not only Telefónica’s SOC capabilities, but also via establishing alliances with the most advanced technology providers,” said Alberto Sempere, Cybersecurity Product & Services director, Telefónica Tech. “For this reason, Telefónica Tech is building out its Identity Security offering with CyberArk as its foundation, making the entire CyberArk Identity Security Platform available as a managed services provision to Telefónica Tech customers around the world.”

“User credentials and machine secrets have become the vector of choice for attackers as they seek to compromise privileged data and assets at organizations across all verticals,” said Chris Moore, vice president, Global Channels, CyberArk. “Telefónica Tech is a leading global managed service provider, and we are delighted to partner with them as an integral part of its managed cyber services portfolio. Customers will benefit from a proactive Identity Security-centered approach to mitigating cyber risk.”

The relationship further expands CyberArk’s footprint in major economies in Europe as well as Latin America. CyberArk was named a Leader in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management (1). The company was positioned both highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision for the third time in a row.

Esper Announces $60 Million Series C Funding As Market Demand Explodes

 
* Insight Partners Leads Latest Financing, Esper’s Second in 2021

India and US based Esper, the industry’s leading DevOps platform for devices, today announced $60 million in Series C funding led by Insight Partners, with participation from existing investors including Scale Venture Partners, Madrona Ventures and Root Ventures. The investment brings Esper's total funding to $100 million and follows the company’s $30 million Series B just four month ago in May 2021. Esper developed the industry’s first DevOps platform for intelligent edge devices and was named one of the top 10 hottest startups in 2021 by CRN.

Enterprise edge devices is a fast-growing category that includes everything from the tablets used in travel, restaurants, and warehouses, to medical devices, fitness equipment, and in-store kiosks. Esper is the only software platform that lets organizations remotely scale, manage, secure, and update mission-critical edge devices and custom apps using the proven DevOps practices now considered standard in web app development.

There is a massive potential for Indian organisations to adopt Android DevOps across sectors including hospitality, restaurant, healthcare, education, and logistics sectors to deliver contactless services. Esper works with some of the major brands including cult.fit, Teach for India to power and manage their devices.

“India witnessed unprecedented digital transformation since the pandemic, which makes it a unique market with the potential to adopt DevOps across every industry. Android DevOps has the potential to transform Indian businesses through their journey towards agility, increase operational efficiency and control costs,”says Yadhu Gopalan, CEO and co-founder at Esper.

“Esper’s team in India is pivotal to the company’s growth. Currently 83 employees work out of India and are responsible for designing and engineering Esper's core DevOps platform along with tackling the core marketing and sales functions. We plan to increase the employee count to 200 by 2022 as we are looking to expand the Engineering and Sales functions,” said Shiv Sundar, COO & co-founder at Esper.

“Customer expectations are higher than ever. When a point of sale terminal in a retailer is out of order, the merchant doesn’t have the time or expertise to fix it. These devices are mission critical and expected to work flawlessly 24/7. This is especially true for devices directly tied to revenue generation or in verticals like medical devices where a life might literally be on the line. We built Esper with the customer’s customer in mind,” Yadhu Gopalan further adds.

Edge devices are a new path to connecting with more customers in more places, but challenges persist.

“For years now we’ve seen these massive projections about IOT devices of all kinds. But on the ground, enterprises and SMBs are struggling with the reality that large-scale deployments of devices are hard and expensive when you go it alone,” said Philine Huizing, Vice President at Insight Partners. “Esper has emerged as the only platform that provides modern DevOps capabilities in a package purpose built for intelligent edge devices. And even better, developers tell us that they love using Esper.”

Esper has over 200 paying customers and over 2,000 developers using its platform for product development. Esper addresses verticals as diverse as fast food, healthcare, connected fitness, retail, and digital signage, driving 2021 revenue 4x higher than the year prior and making Esper one of the fastest growing startups in the enterprise software sector. The Seattle-based company quadrupled headcount during 2021 and tripled its office footprint in Bellevue on a square footage basis.

As this hyper-growth attests, innovative brands are using Esper to move from whiteboard to deployment faster than they ever thought possible. This is particularly important in markets like healthcare where ease-of-use and continuous uptime are critical: 

“With Esper, our remote patient monitoring service just works,” said Neema Moraveji, PhD, Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Spire Health. “Esper’s seamless deployment ensures that even patients who are not as comfortable with technology can successfully use our service. Device set-up is simple, there is zero configuration needed by the patients, and Esper’s full-service solution detects connectivity and sensor failures ahead of time and alerts the Spire team for proactive outreach to our patients, often before they even notice an issue.”

This latest funding round will primarily be used to further expand Esper’s ability to get in front of more enterprise customers.

“Our biggest opportunity right now is getting the word out to more enterprises that Esper exists,”adds Shiv Sundar. “No other software does what we do. Our customers tell us that we are completely resetting their assumptions about what is possible. It’s truly rewarding to see the light bulb go off when a customer realizes all of the infrastructure they no longer have to build themselves.”
