Cal-Info Systems: Geared Up to Change the Face of Rural Healthcare in India

CIO Vendor Indian healthcare is rocketing to its pinnacle with the popularity of innovative Indian doctors and the phenomenal increase in India's medical tourism.While westerners travel to India for pocket-easy medical procedures, millions of people in rural-India are still struggling for a high-quality healthcare because of the scarcity of workforce, infrastructure and technical solutions. Cal-Info Systems, an IT solutions Company founded in 2004, is keen on bridging this gap with their cost-effective portal solutions to implement basic healthcare in rural India. They want to leverage cloud and smart mobile devices to provide necessary tools and platforms; so that all stakeholders playing vital role in building healthcare can join hands and deliver an effective solution.

The Bangalore-based company is highly capable of doing so since they have experience in rolling out their cherished solution Cal-EPM(enterprise project management) at state level. This solution monitored the up-gradation of primary healthcare centers in Karnataka and won a national e-governance award for the Karnataka State Police Housing Corp., and is being requested by other states as well. The solution analyzes and manages all facets of project management like time, resources, project costs and quality details from a cloud based server. Locally, progress updates and bill generation is accomplished via tablets, mobile devices and thin clients that reduces the total cost of ownership and maintenance, which is a boon to hospitals who struggle to make payments for infrastructure and hardware overheads. On the other hand, it provides strong Wi-Fi capabilities for the hospitals to connect to the cloud directly and access the implemented portals.While this solution has been run by the local health department and the police housing, they also have a hospital management solution running at Bangalore's Al-Ameen and Kerala's Al-Arif hospitals.
Cal-Info supports its solutions with both hardware and software engineers and built-in support for post rollout until the solution becomes a success, and also follow-up with continuous improvement.
