Bengaluru: Aster DM Healthcare Limited has announced the launch of its tele-ICU services under the Aster Connected Care arm in India, aimed at providing comprehensive support to healthcare providers to enhance patient care.

“The tele-ICU services will provide key critical care services such as expert intensivist availability, continuous monitoring of ICUs by qualified critical care staff, 24/7 audiovisual communication, rapid response alerts, regular virtual rounds, and support and counseling for patients and their families,” the company informed in a statement.

“Going forward, the division aims to expand by partnering with small and medium-sized hospitals in tier 2 and tier 3 cities across India. The objective is to utilize Aster’s skilled manpower to deliver critical care services to areas that lack specialized expertise, using a hub-and-spoke model,” the company added.

“The potential of digital technology is boundless. Aster tele-ICU brings global standards of critical care through its experienced intensivists and critical care nurses by leveraging technology. Our solution aims at bridging the gap by making qualified, experienced intensivists available at the click of a button, and our evidence-based practice ensures high-quality patient care,” Dr Harsha Rajaram, CEO of Aster Digital Health, stated.

Four months ago, Aster conducted a soft launch of the tele-ICU services, through which it has provided assistance to more than 250 patients in states like Bihar and Karnataka. The company further aims to advance its services while bridging the gap in quality critical care in the rural sector.
