UpHealth, Inc has opened the first digitally enabled hospital in Nagaland. The hospital, called HelloLyf HX, is the first facility of its kind and a revolutionary re-thinking of traditional hospitals with a state-of-the-art climate resilient design vetted and approved by the acclaimed Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.
The
hospital provides
outpatient care, emergency care, radiology and imaging, intensive care,
high-dependency care, inpatient care and houses a complete dialysis. It is
powered by HelloLyf, a leading patient management, digital health and decision
support software. The HelloLyf software has the ability to link patients with
virtual healthcare specialists, worldwide; Provides 88 e-ICU beds with connected ventilators and injection syringe
pumps, mapped to the HelloLyf patient management software, exceeding monitoring
systems in place at regional hospitals.
The hospital was officially inaugurated on November
12, in Nagaland by the state’s chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio. “After years of
development and design, we have completed the stack for healthcare from primary
to tertiary acute care. With this piece, our vision has come to life,” said
Sabahat Azim, CEO, International of UpHealth. “Our dream has been to provide
the best possible healthcare at a reasonable cost and rapid development and
construction time to underserved areas. Today, we can enable delivery of healthcare
to anyone, anywhere at the lowest cost and bridge the physical world with a
digital platform. We were told many times that it could not be done. Today, our
doors are open, and we are very pleased to see our dream become reality.”
The
Nagaland hospital represents the first such hospital that UpHealth constructed.
Many such hospitals are planned across India, with many more scoped for Africa
with aggressive timelines. UpHealth is also exploring the possibility of similar
hospitals in rural and underserved areas of the United States.
Chief Minister Rio said, “The project was carried
out by the UpHealth system, privately. You have my congratulations and my
appreciation, and I thank you from all the people of the state.” The HelloLyf HX hospital
is outfitted to provide COVID-19 care and resources to Nagaland during the
ongoing pandemic and use as an acute care hospital post-pandemic.
