Medicover Hospitals introduces Smartcare initiative with Dozee for enhanced patient safety

HYDERABAD: Medicover Hospital, which operates in 12 countries, including India, announced on Thursday the launch of the Smartcare Medicover initiative, a ground-breaking step in patient care that incorporates Dozee's cutting-edge remote patient monitoring technology.

This transformative initiative underscores Medicover's unwavering commitment to revolutionizing healthcare and setting new standards of patient safety in the country.

Medicover Hospitals, known for its exceptional multispecialty care across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra, is embracing Dozee's 'Made-in-India' technology to usher in a new era of patient safety. Smartcare at Medicover initiative represents a pivotal step towards establishing a new standard of healthcare, leveraging advanced digital solutions to ensure quality healthcare for patients. The hospital aims to extend beyond conventional boundaries, ensuring continuous vitals monitoring and early intervention for patients outside traditional ICU settings.

Dozee's cloud-based solution empowers healthcare providers with seamless central and remote patient monitoring, enhancing both safety and clinical outcomes. Dozee's patented AI-based Ballistocardiography (BCG) technology remotely monitors vital parameters, aiding early detection of clinical deterioration. Sattva's research indicated potential impactful results: for every 100 Dozee connected beds, an estimated 144 lives are saved, an 80 percent reduction in nurse monitoring time, and a decrease of around 1.3 days in ICU Average Length of Stay (ALOS) thus significantly enhancing patient safety and operational efficiency.

"As leaders in healthcare, our commitment extends beyond treatment; it encompasses the relentless pursuit of advancements that redefine patient care. The adoption of Dozee's remote patient monitoring technology is a testament to our dedication to shaping the future of healthcare," said Dr Anil Krishna, Chairman and Managing Director, of Medicover Hospitals

This technology is a game-changer in ensuring optimal outcomes for cardiac patients and enhancing overall patient safety."
