ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTHCARE

ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTHCARE Healthcare systems comprise a complex administration system where systems and data of different departments are integrated to work for single patients. And, managing it for multiple patients requires lots of effort and meticulous precision so that data don’t get misplaced or interchanged because a small mistake can be hazardous for a patient. Technology was integrated into healthcare in the early 60s- technology took a long time to play its role in the medical sector. Nowadays, the role of technology in the healthcare sector is inevitable- technology helped the medical sector in making it go paperless replaced mostly with electronic health records (EHRs), smoothening record and data management, improving the accuracy of tests, making medicinal procedures autonomous making it convenient for patients as well as medical service providers for making treatment plans.   There are technologies like cloud, blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and information technologies that got integrated into the healthcare sector playing a crucial role and responsibilities for service providers as well as receivers.  The Healthcare industry faces new challenges every day and tech solution providers are introducing various technologies for improvisation, increasing collaboration across systems, managing costs, streamlining processes, and automating tasks to manage the workflow effortlessly that could be time-consuming and difficult to get done manually with man force. Benefits of Information Technology Healthcare information technology has played an influential role in the healthcare sector in managing the central database of patients. With the usage of the information medical practitioner are creating databases of their patient so that they can easily check their medical history of the patient. It helps in retrieving the data of medicines, the list of tests conducted, and the results of tests patients have undergone. With the such database, it becomes easy for the doctor to plan the treatment and prescribe the medicine, and it also helps patients as they don’t need to undergo some tests again and again. With the adoption of EHRs, the chances of medical errors and processing errors have been cut to a remarkable extent, making treatment more accurate and effective. Information technology bridged patients and insurance companies making the insurance process convenient for the insurance company and policyholder. Role of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain In The Healthcare Sector The usage of blockchain technology in the medical sector is as important as any other technology as it will help in maintaining and sorting the ocean of databases effortlessly and in no time. It will help the healthcare industry in populating and maintaining the EHRs and in linking them with other services like payments, billings, insurance, and other peripheral aspects. With AI it will be easy for the healthcare sector to collect, store and analyze data streams that too in real-time, providing the information and data remotely to patients as well as doctors, also it helps in lessening the need for direct interaction. It helps in reducing the chances of medicinal errors, eventually helping in improving the health and safety of patients. So, the role of healthcare IT support is a boon to the healthcare sector that helps in streamlining the complex processes that eventually help in improving the quality of service of any healthcare service provider, from doctors to pharmacists, from laboratories to insurance companies.

Corona Is Not Over Yet

Corona Is Not Over Yet The year 2019 was about to end and people all around the world were busy preparing plans to welcome the year 2020, unaware of the upcoming phase that will change their perspective on how they see life and health too. Yes, you might have got the hint that we are going to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world enormously and unexpectedly. The deadly Corona Virus started spreading worldwide and by the year 2020, the corona pandemic clutched the entire world with Corona waves. Our world witnessed one of the deadliest pandemics of the century that they have never imagined and thought of- despite having advanced medical facilities.   Corona, It Is Still There! The medical institutes and pharma companies started making experiments to either get the elixir medicine for the Covid-19 that can help meticulously in treating and curing the covid patient or get the vaccine for Corona Virus that provide protection and shield against Corona Virus. After so many attempts, experiments and tests, we finally managed to get the vaccines that helped us to get immune against Corona Virus but we shouldn’t forget that Corona is not over yet.  WHO Approved Corona Vaccines: Covovax Nuvaxovid Spikevax Covishiled(AstraZeneca)  Covaxin Pfizer CanSino Janssen Covilo   CoronaVac Yes, it may seem to us that the intensity or the number of Corona Virus cases is declining but don’t forget that Corona is an aerosol virus, it is still there and we don’t know when, how, and where we may get infected with the Covid-19. So, it is advisable to resort to all sorts of precautions and safety we were taking during the peak of Covid pandemic. Despite being jabbed with the two doses of Corona vaccine or even after having the booster the medical practitioners are still advising to take precautions and safety measures to stay protected from Corona Virus infection.  Precautions To Stay Protected From Corona Virus Are: Wash Your Hand Properly With Soap  Wear Mask Maintain Social Distance Strengthen Your Immune System Get Vaccinated Take Supplements That Boost Your Immune System Take Proper Take Of Your Health Exercise Regularly Resort To Yoga and Pranayama   Being scared and being conscious as well as responsible are two different things, so being ignorant about the Corona Virus is not at all a smart choice but being conscious about it can help you protect yourself and your loved ones from Covid-19.    Stay Safe To Keep Others Safe  We can fight Corona Virus but it is possible by collective efforts only, it can’t be curbed and defeated single-handedly. We all need to make equal efforts and measures to keep our world protected from Corona Virus. We just need to follow Covid-friendly protocols and keep in mind that the Covid is not over yet.For that, we need to be more responsible collectively by taking precautions that can help us stay uninfected from Corona Virus. Because by keeping ourselves safe we can help others and our loved ones to stay healthy and safe

Can Coronavirus spread through air?

Can COVID-19 spread through air?  COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire in India making our country one of the worst-hit nations affected by the deadly virus. The principal mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 remains close contact with an infected person and through the nose, mouth or eyes, according to health agencies. SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19 is predominantly transmitted through air, according to a new assessment carried in the medical journal Lancet has said. It added that public health measures that fail to treat the virus as predominantly airborne leave people unprotected and allow the virus to spread. Experts suggest that the spread of COVID-19 is happening more indoor than outdoor. Yes, they have further stated that if the ventilation is there then the probability of contracting the disease is lesser. PPT kits in hospitals which mostly the doctor uses are failing to protect them from the virus. This again proves that corona can be spread through air.  Airborne transmission: According to scientists, the COVID-19 virus has been found to be staying in the air for about 3 hours. This research was conducted through taking the samples from near the cars and rooms of the infected patients.  COVID-19 cases infected through air have also been reported after the patients made use of air filters. This is one more reason for COVID-19 spread. Things to keep in mind: 1. Wear a mask while stepping out & maintain social distancing: Now more than ever, it is absolutely necessary that you always wear a face mask when you are out of the house. 2. Do not go out unless absolutely necessary:  Older adults and people with serious chronic medical conditions are at higher risk of serious illness. 3.Maintain Hygiene: Wash your hands with soap or water/ alcohol-based sanitizer frequently. Avoid touching your nose, mouth, or eyes. Make sure that you cover your nose and mouth while sneezing or coughing. 4.Keep track of your health and monitor symptoms (if any): The virus that causes COVID-19 can lead to some flu-like symptoms, such as aches, fever, and cough. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should get in touch with your doctor immediately. 

Covid-19: Remdesivir is not a life-saving drug, says health ministry.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that there is still no evidence to indicate that Remdesivir is beneficial in treating hospitalised coronavirus patients. Blackmarketing of Remdesivir is at peak: Remdesivir is not a lifesaver remedy for coronavirus, it’s just an antiviral drug that is still under trial. It has not yet been proved that it saves the lives of Covid patients who are in critical condition. But still, it is been sold in black market while dexamethasone is more effective than Remdesivir, and it costs just Rs 15. The actual price of Remdesivir injection is Rs. 5,400 while it is being sold between Rs. 35,000 to one lakh to the needy. Why is Remdesivir being sold so costly? Why is it in demand? Is it so effective that it can be bought at exorbitant prices? Is it the lifesaver for a Corona patient? The answer is absolutely no. According to experts, Remdesivir is not an effective drug to eradicate corona. Earlier, AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria, a member of the national Covid task force, said the drug was “no magic bullet”. “It is important to understand that it is no magic bullet and it does not reduce mortality. It is used because we do not have a good antiviral drug. Remdesivir was proven useful for those in hospitals and on oxygen, it can’t be taken like a regular antibiotic,” he said. Second wave of infections: India, which is facing the rapid second wave of infections, today reported over 3 lakh+ coronavirus cases for the 15th straight day. Before that, it had been consistently reporting over one lakh+ daily cases. Health infrastructures in several badly hit states are crumbling under pressure from the Covid caseloads. Severe shortages of hospital beds, medical oxygen and medicines – especially Remdesivir- have been reported across the country. Social media is flooded with posts of the family members and friends of Covid patients requesting for help in acquiring the drug. Some reports suggest that the prices of Remdesivir have shot up on the black market. Amid the reported demand-supply gap, the centre has banned export of the drug. As of now, seven Indian companies are producing Remdesivir under voluntary licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences, US. They have a capacity of producing 38.80 lakh units per month. The centre, however, has decided to ramp up production of the drug

Covid-19: The New Mutant Strain in Society

The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing threat which has hit the world sometime at the end of 2019. The year 2020 has passed countering COVID-19, with the world going into lockdown possibly for the first time. However when the entire mankind was ready to welcome the New Year with optimism, the information regarding a new corona virus strain being identified in the United Kingdom (UK) created an environment of ambiguity and fright. The mystery of the mutation among the COVID-19 strains still remains unsolved. Nevertheless vaccine development and distribution drives are conducted across India, with the deliberate efforts of the government. However it is the lack of knowledge about the new strain (code named as B.1.1.7.) which has driven people into worries. Let’s try to understand the Mutated UK virus strain: To start with; what does this new mutant mean? As defined by WHO (World Health Organization) mutation is a process during which a virus replicates or makes copies of it and sometimes changes its traits too. Moreover, a virus that has one or a number of new mutations is referred to as a “VARIANT” of the original virus. UK is facing the challenge of this new variant of COVID-19 virus. The infection is spreading like firestorm once again. This has forced the authorities to declare a complete lockdown with way more strict rules and restrictions. Realization of its Existence The world first came across the confirmed cases of the new variant by the mid of December 2020. The authorities immediately confirmed that it was ‘out of control’. Experts have reservation that the new strain has been actively going around the region since September. However no one could identify its co-existence as there were no large-scale infections. According to reports, around 60 % of the patients in the UK have already been infected with the new variant. Is it a major reason of concern? Health experts and prominent pharmaceutical companies, across the globe elucidate that the new variant is supposedly more contagious however there is no substantiation as of yet that claims it to be more incurable. They also suggested people to not take it carelessly as it has just about two dozen mutations, and some are on the spiky protein that helps virus to adhere to and infect cells. New Vaccine for New Strain? Scientists across the globe judge, that there is no evidence about current vaccines, positioned in the UK and other countries cannot protect against the variant. However, pharmacological efficacy of accessible vaccines on the new mutation is a subject to further research. The first counter of the new variant of Covid-19 was reported in Britain. Regrettably, the mutated version is now present in several countries including Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia, Italy, Sweden, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Japan, Lebanon, and Singapore.

How to Select a Good Pharma Company in Ahmedabad

Establishment of Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad has made it the pharmaceutical hub of India. However it has given a rise to a newer subject as these Pharma companies have become the major source of employment in the city too. Yes, you are thinking correct that Gujarat is a hub for Business. However every individual is not involved in the same. At the same time Ahmedabad has become a cosmopolitan city and thus has a good population looking out for jobs. A common trend observed on Google search engine, when it comes to collecting some information regarding the Pharmaceutical space. People search with some common key words like the “List of Pharma Companies”, “Jobs at Pharma Companies”, “Vacancy at Pharma Companies”, “Best Pharma Companies in Gujarat” or “Best Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad” so on and so forth. However it is essential to understand what one should be looking at if he wants to identify the Good Pharma Company. Today let’s touch upon this subject. And to talk on this subject we need to break it down into certain parameters. They can help to understand the basics of “What can be called a Good Company”. Let’s discuss a couple of them in this blog. Job Security: Talking about the healthcare industry in Ahmedabad, it has become the major contributor for floating up vacancies. However the recent tough times has shown another face of this sector. This was the time when axing of the jobs have been observed in this sector too. This is the most crucial factor, which one needs to analyze while searching for a job with a Pharma Company in Ahmedabad or anywhere else. At the same time it was observed, that many Pharma companies where very employee friendly. They have made all the attempts to boast the moral of their employees in this difficult time. Thus the ideal and the very first parameter to analyze while choosing a Pharma company to associate with is “Job Security”. Individual Development/ Growth: Every individual works with integrity and commitment, with an objective to be successful in life. Thus while choosing a Pharma company to associate with; one has to keep in mind, what are the opportunities the company can offer him and in what time span. This is where the start –up companies or the companies in their expansion phase can be a good choice. However they have a challenge for job security as every one of them may not have strong fundamentals. Even the working environment and the approach adapted by the organization play a vital role in individual’s professional growth. There are some organizations who invest heavily on the development of their team members. They conduct various training and workshops, which have specific objectives. They identify the members on the basis of the skills and strengths identified by the organization. Even flourishing environment is provided for employees to thrive in their present role and get ready to bigger responsibilities. Work Environment: Another crucial factor which plays major role is the work environment an organisation provide to its employees.With the stress environment building in this competitive market, the work life balance becomes very vital. There are certain good Pharma companies who understand the importance of work life balance in individuals life. They provide environment which can help employees to enjoy life along with work. They have multiple policies which can help them to achieve the goal of work life balance. This in turn also improves the performance of the employee. These are the few important parameters which one should consider while choosing to associate with any of the Pharma organization. Yes there are a few more parameters too which we will discuss later. However we do have some of the Pharma companies who work keeping the above objectives at the center of their value system. One of such organization is Furbo Pharma Pvt. Ltd. Although a new entrant to this space it has very strong fundamentals. Also it works on the philosophy of “Together WE Grow”. Furbo Pharma Pvt. Ltd. can be a company for every aspiring candidate. A candidate who wants to build career in the world of Pharmaceutical and establish at a position of repute in times to come. As “Furbo Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” is in its expansion phase, with the strong fundamentals.

This helped Ahmedabad to recognize itself as the Pharma hub of India. It is not just essentially because of the established Pharma companies, who are crowned as the Best Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad, who are playing a vital role. However the newer Pharma companies who are getting introduced to the market are also indulged in establishing a segment of Best Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad. This change is happening because of the encouragement given to the budding ideas by the newer policies in India. However that is something which we would be talking about some other day, in some other blog. At the same time an important aspect to touch upon today to understand, why are the Best Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad??? “The most challenging task is to challenge the status quo and redefine the best. An endeavor which has now become the talk of the town in India.” The simple answer is, Gujarati community understands the business closely and hence this could be a result of it. However this is a very broad answer and hence a dig down is required to understand this holistic statement which we all feel is the appropriate answer. Let’s talk on this with an example to understand it in depth. Let me introduce you to a new entrant in the pharmaceutical world of India. A company who is making its path towards being in the league of “Best Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad”. Yes, some of you have guessed it correctly; I am talking about “Furbo Pharma Pvt. Ltd.”. A company who is still in its budding stage, however has started redefining the definition of “Best” in the Pharma space of Ahmedabad.

Ltd. Is about to deliver in the well established Pharma space of India and make its mark in the Pharma segment. However let time answer this quest of all and let’s be a party to how the entire Pharma space is redefined in the coming years holding the hands of technology and making healthcare with-in the reach of every single citizen of India. However to have a glimpse of it, it’s worth taking a tour of Furbo Pharma Pvt. Ltd. website. I am pretty sure that in this journey again “Ahmedabad” would become the driving force and a new club of Best Pharma Companies in Ahmedabad would be redefined with the newer ideology.
