About Us

Manage clinical data

Without quick, secure access to complete and reliable information, healthcare services can be inefficient, preventing patients from receiving the best care possible together with making health care very expensive. iDecide organize clinical data into digital form, aiming to bring together hospitals, clinics, community care centers, public health care authorities, as well as other healthcare professionals, to facilitate a comprehensive view of patient clinical history, regardless of location.

Self uploading of data: Patient as custodian of the clinical data

Self Uploading of Clinical data is an important feature of iDecide. The data quality and data uploading also becomes a responsibility of the patient. This is important because over 90% of the consultations happen outside the formal provider network (usually this is 99% in case of resource poor localities). Thus the clinical records are not available in any form for these consulting. Thus the patient reaches a formal provider with zero previous clinical records though he / she may have had many provider encounters. A study done by us in 10 villages in Madhya Pradesh suggest the health seeking of 80% illness is from the informal provider and a formal provider is accessed usually on the 10th days of the illness event. Capturing, organizing and displaying patient data in a customizable, user-friendly way – aiding in identifying those at risk, and those requiring routine screening. Sharing data securely between patients and healthcare professionals and giving patients a way to manage their own health. Track prescriptions and medications.

Data uploading through upload centers

iDecide has a network of recognized upload centers which load data like prescriptions, lab reports, X Rays etc at a nominal rate. The rate is the same across the country. These centers are available at various hospitals, Internet cafes, doctor clinics, labs etc. The list of upload centers will be made available through the APP.

Giving ‘life’ to the Care History

Prescription usually lives till the door of the medical store or maximum to the home till the cure of an illness event. There is hardly any system or facility for patients to keep this important clinical information in safe custody. Thus idecide offer an important service through opening patients’ / the subscribers the option to self upload the data. The diagnosis becomes more accurate and faster which will have an effect on the cost in the long run.

Manage Health Spending

Cost is one of the main determinants of every one while making care seeking decisions. The provider choice and the decision to access care depend mainly on the cost. Many research studies suggest many poor do not access care because of the fear of heavy cost of care. The cost comparison platforms are not available at present and patients do not have any opportunity to negotiate because of the cost ignorance. Many tests are repeated incurring lots of cost to the patients. Diagnosis is often delayed and treatment cost increases because of the delay in the diagnosis.

Avoid Duplicating of Records - Cost of Investigation

Repeating / duplicating of clinical tests in case of further opinion seeking from different providers other than the primary provider is an important driver of increasing health care spending. Tests are usually repeated and this involves huge spending by patients. Usually incase of many chronic and life threatening illness treatment decision is made only after shopping many providers and this incur lots of spending by the patients.

Peer interaction for Economical Diagnosis & Treatment

The peer interaction and the provider search based on the cost give the user an opportunity to compare the costs and the best economic clinical procedure for a disease condition. The peer discussion provides lots of important information on these lines.

Forecasting for Prevention

Emerging infectious diseases and life style diseases pose growing threat to human populations. The combination of infectious and non communicable diseases now pause greater threat to individuals and health systems in many different ways. Many of the world's epidemic diseases (particularly those transmitted by intermediate hosts) are known to be highly sensitive to long-term changes in climate and short-term fluctuations in the weather. Non communicable diseases which require often the life time self care and monitoring is not done well.

The application of environmental data to the study of disease offers the capability to demonstrate vector-environment relationships and potentially forecast the risk of disease outbreaks or epidemics. Accurate disease forecasting models would markedly improve epidemic prevention and control capabilities. iDecide has a team of medical experts who consistently look at the patient data, the geography , climate changes and alert the subscribers and providers on preventive interventions.

The education mode in the app complements the forecasting and preventive capacity education of the clients. Predictive health information systems would use monitored environmental variables, linked to a disease system, to be observed and provide prior information of outbreaks thus minimising the risk and avoid damage.
