The company has collaborated with Mumbai-based Nanavati Hospital for setting up of a tele-medicine centre as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative in India, an official statement said.
The Centre will aid in free super-speciality tele-consulting for patients for whom specialist healthcare is difficult to reach, it said.
The facility will enable patients to connect with the doctors on a real-time basis through audio/video technology.
Patients can diagnose and submit their health data such as BP, blood test, X-Ray online which will be remotely made available to the doctor sitting at Nanavati Hospital with the help of paramedical staff available at the centre.
Doctor and patient can then be connected real-time through audio-video. This technology also enables doctors to use a digital stethoscope to listen to the heart, lungs similar to a physical examination and subsequently prescribe relevant medicine.
This CSR project is designed to be sustainable and scalable considering it can be replicated in other locations for Legrand.
Mumbai-headquartered Legrand has three state-of-the-art manufacturing units, seven training centers and two R&D center in India. The group has manufacturing facilities in 90 countries and its products are sold in over 180 countries.
