The Teladoc telemedicine department at MMHRC also brings specialist expertise to patients in rural and underserved communities. It will strive to take the technology from episodic, acute care to ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions, wellness, and prevention, and more.
It is to be noted that Meenakshi Mission Hospital was the first healthcare institution in India to deploy self-driving Teladoc robots two years ago to enable doctors to provide virtual care to patients when the Covid-19 pandemic was raging. Since its deployment, over 60,000 in-patients and outpatients have been treated with these robots.
