Emerging World of Modern Teleconsultation and Telemedicine Post Covid-19

Leave a Comment / / Article/Stories, Health & Wellness Community

Pune: One of the most important facets of human life is striving to maintain good overall health which can only be achieved through magnificent healthcare. In a utopian society, healthcare benefits may be available to all kinds of people around the world, but in the times we live in, ‘healthcare-for-all’ is still a farfetched dream.  In the emerging world of technological advances at every nook and cranny, we can say that we are evolving from primitive healthcare and are moving towards the world of modern teleconsultation and telemedicine. Technology has enabled us to dream for a future where every person will be able to seize the benefits of healthcare.  Though telemedicine was initially considered to be “futuristic”, in today’s world, it has become a reality. With the help of technology and telecommunication services, people can now reap the benefits of healthcare which involves online consultation from various healthcare professionals who will guide you through the whole process of diagnosis, treatment, prevention and evaluation of your condition and overall health.  With the help of teleconsultation and telemedicine, long-distance healthcare has been made possible due to which people from remote areas, where healthcare is not easily available, can now receive treatment via online consultations. It has helped drastically to reduce the gap between healthcare providers all around the world. Communication and opinions can now be freely relayed through teleconsultation. With online consultations on the rise, the patient can save on the peripheral costs of transportation and can save time. In a world that has often been plagued by many epidemics and pandemics throughout history, the advancements in technology in the field of healthcare have made it possible to curb the severity of different kinds of epidemics all around the world. Various types of technologies like geographical monitoring have helped us in tracking and monitoring the extent of the spread of various kinds of viruses and diseases. Therefore, it has become an important tool in disaster management.  Teleconsultation and exchange of information on the front of healthcare and medicine ensure standardization of healthcare and equity amongst individuals living in a particular region with the rest of the world. Teleconsultation and telemedicine act as an information superhighway for people across the globe.  It is important to note that the Centre for International Rehabilitation says that with the advancements in telecommunication and telemedicine, proper rehabilitation and counseling can be provided to the people in remote areas who are in dire need of help but cannot reach out via traditional means.  It has helped in bridging the gap between the common man who struggles for healthcare and the providers who want to reach out for help. Therefore, with advancements in teleconsultation and telemedicine, we are looking forward to a world whose future is not bleak but rather spectacular in terms of overall healthcare services like consultation, medicine, exchange of knowledge, information and ideas amongst people residing in any part of the world.

Survey: Over 75% Children Report Challenges To Access Digital Education In India

Leave a Comment / / Article/Stories, Education Community

Pune: It is evident that the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted education in India in 2020-21. From blackboards to computer screens, we sure have come a long way. From schools to universities, all have adopted the online mode to impart education and knowledge. There are certain places in the country where schools have resumed but not at their full capacity. There is still hope for normalcy but not anytime soon. Since India has only vaccinated adults, children still face the risk of being exposed to the virus.  Therefore, throughout 2020 and now 2021, we saw students around us attending school online.  However, there was a certain population of students we missed to consider.  Online teaching is something many institutions are contemplating, but do Indians have the capacity to fully embrace digital learning and teaching?  According to a preliminary data analysis, there are various challenges faced by students in India to access digital education.  An online survey carried out by Learning Spiral shows that children face a multitude of problems in accessing education digitally.  The results of the survey are: • The dominant mode of education being used is WhatsApp which is used by 75% of people in India. • The second mode of education is phone calls between a teacher and their students. It is being used by 38% of people in India. The challenges that emerged in the survey are: • Over 75% of children reported a host of challenges to access education digitally.  • The unavailability of the internet stands to be the top cause of not being able to access digital education. • Not being able to afford data plans and the internet is also a major cause of not being able to access digital education. • Poor internet connectivity is also a hindrance for children to access digital education. • Lack of IT support in schools and to students creates problems in the delivery of online learning. • Continuous technological changes pose a challenge for students with little or no technical knowledge.  • Un-optimized software for mobile devices has emerged as a serious issue.  • Many students have reported security issues while online learning.  Conclusion: Even though there are multiple benefits of online education, it can only be reaped by students who have access to good internet, smart devices and technology knowledge and assistance.  Despite multiple challenges faced by students on a daily basis to access digital education, not even a single instance of delivery of education through a non-digital medium was reported.  Due to continued digital education in India despite the aforementioned challenges, it is estimated that students from disadvantaged backgrounds will lose out on 40% of their previous year’s learning.  Therefore, the country and the government should focus on democratizing the use of technology and find solutions to reduce the massive digital divide between urban and rural areas in India.  Irrespective of the location of the student, assistance in terms of digital education should be made available by the schools and the government.
