Leading telecom organization, Ericsson has developed a mHealth (mobile-health) telemedicine solution which is named as Ericsson Mobile Health 3.0 (EMH 3.0)

Ericsson aptly positioned EMH 3.0 as a solution to provide ‘healthcare to all’ considering that the solution aims to overcome the geographical reach limitations of healthcare units and enable them to reach out to people even in far flung areas over the mobile medium.

“Our first initiative on the healthcare solutions front dates back to 2004 when we came up with a prototype version of telemedicine solution. In India too we are active on this front since 2007 when we jointly worked with Apollo Hospitals for the Gramjyoti project,” explains Rainer Herzog-Director Strategy & Business Development e-health Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, Ericsson.

Ericsson is betting big on the India opportunity for its telemedicine solutions. It cites that a substantial part of India’s population lives in remote areas while the specialized physicians stay in urban areas. The company says that with its telemedicine solutions, hospitals can reduce care costs per patient by a great margin.

Ericsson is eying to commercialize its mHealth telemedicine solutions by Q2 2010 as it awaits certification from relevant medical agencies.
