bots: Dozee’s AI-powered patient care
… BL / 05 Nov 2023
Extract
:
Dozee’s device, placed under a
patient’s mattress, non-invasively
monitors vital signs such as heart rate, respiration rate,
and blood pressure without any
direct contact with the patient. It can also connect to wireless
peripherals to COLLECT DATA such as
oxygen saturation levels, and ECG readings
“ This DATA
is continuously collected and analysed by AI to IDENTIFY TRENDS and alert healthcare professionals if a patient
enters a high risk zone. The ALERTS
are sent to the nurses and clinicians at CENTRAL NURSING STATIONS for timely
interventions “, says Mudit Dandwate,
the CEO and cofounder of the company
The
product , named Dozee Pro Ex , was
launched in May 2019 and has since
been deployed on more than 10,000 beds
in over 200 hospitals across India. The company aims to reach the 20 lakh-bed mark over
time, even though not many are currently aware of the device’s utility, he says
The
company eyes a presence in Africa, Southeast Asia and the US, among other
global markets.
It also
aims to launch a HOME
VERSION of its device within six
months
Congratulations , Munit :
Your innovation
will re-write the rules of Global Healthcare , where every patient being
monitored by any MEDICAL DEVICE , is internet-connected to CENTRAL DATABASE , as
envisaged by me in my following blog :

Guess what will happen next ?
Every GP ( General Medical Practitioner – neighbourhood doctor )
carries a thermometer , a stethoscope and a blood pressure measurement device (
at the minimum )
A few years back , these medical
devices were “ analog “
Today , these have become
“ digital “
Tomorrow, each will be
embedded with sensors / transmitters and be Internet connected ( IoT ) to relay
their readings to the Central Health Server of Ayushman Bharat
Government will make it mandatory for the device
manufacturers to embed such sensors
And , day after
tomorrow , these devices will become nano-size and get printed as electronic tattoos on our skins or become integral
parts of our bodies , like contact lenses or stents
What is in it for Ayushman
Bharat ?
Consider this :
· Doctor takes the readings of the patient using these internet
connected devices
· Devices transmit these data to the
smart phones of both , the doctor and the patient
· These phones transmit these data to
the Central Health Care Server of Ayushman Bharat and update the
LIFE TIME MEDICAL HISTORY of that person
· This history can be accessed only by the “ Authorised “
health centres / hospitals / nursing homes , which are official partners of the
Ayushman Bharat scheme
Imagine all the Medical
Devices ( including ECG / EEG / PET Scan , located in
private clinics / health centers / hospitals / nursing homes / Path labs /
Diagnostic centers etc ), transmitting to a Central Server
,
· medical diagnosis
· treatment
· administered drugs
· surgical procedures
- for all 50 crore citizens
covered by this scheme
And imagine such petabytes of health data being subjected to BIG
DATA analysis using AI !
Ayushman Bharat has the
potential to usher this Health-care Revolution
When that happens , expect the AI to do the following :
· offer Customized healthcare / Medical
treatment / Supplementary diet
· guide your family doctor to prescribe the best-suited medicine for
each member of your family
· recommend some “ preventive “ medicines before a disease manifests
itself !

Extract :
There are 7,000 million
people on the earth
It is possible that , at any given time , some 7 million of these are lying in ICU ,
connected with :
* Electroencephalogram ( Brain Monitor )
* Electrocardiogram ( Heart Monitor )
* Pulse Rate Meter
* Oxygen Level Meter
* Glucose Level Meter........etc
As soon as these instruments get embedded with Internet of
Things ( IoT
), a central server could collect all of these " measurements / readings "
on 24*7 basis , for all 7 million persons
Then it will combine these readings with following data about each of
those 7 million persons :
* Country / Region / City / Language
* Race / Religion / Gender / Age
* Height / Weight / Colour /
Biometrics
* Blood Group / DNA / Past Medical History.....etc
It will also record , who died / when !
Using such massive data base, can BIG DATA / Artificial Intelligence / Machine
Learning , figure out what " Customized healthcare / Medical treatment /
Supplementary diet " should be " prescribed " for each human on this earth ?
Shall we support such " Invasion of Individual Privacy " , in
the larger interest / benefit of entire mankind ?
I think , we should

When asked for opinion, ChatGPT replied as follows :
Good morning, Hemen Parekh!
Your vision
of a global healthcare system based on internet-connected medical devices is an exciting and transformative idea.
It's clear that significant progress has already been made in
this direction, as evidenced by the example of Dozee's device, which
non-invasively monitors vital signs and relays data to a central server.
This kind of technology has the potential to revolutionize
healthcare by
providing real-time monitoring, early warning systems, and the ability to
collect and analyze vast amounts of health data.
The adoption and expansion of such a global healthcare system
will depend on various factors:
1.
Technological
Advancements: As
technology continues to advance, the development and deployment of
internet-connected medical devices will become more accessible and affordable.
2.
Regulatory
Approval: Widespread adoption will also
rely on regulatory approval and guidelines for the use of such devices,
ensuring their safety and effectiveness.
3.
Healthcare
Infrastructure: The
availability of reliable internet connectivity and healthcare infrastructure
will be essential for the success of such a system.
4.
Public
Acceptance:
Patients and healthcare providers need to trust and embrace these technologies
for them to be widely adopted.
5.
Data
Security and Privacy:
Managing and safeguarding patient data will be critical, and ensuring the
privacy and security of healthcare information is essential.
As for the timeline, the adoption of internet-connected medical
devices in global healthcare is already underway, and it will likely continue
to grow rapidly in the coming years. However, full-scale implementation across
the globe could take some time, as it involves various challenges and
considerations. The transition to nano-sized and embedded medical devices, as
described in your blog, may take even longer.
Your vision aligns with the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT),
big data, and AI in healthcare, and it
could indeed bring about significant benefits in terms of personalized
healthcare, early disease detection, and efficient healthcare management.
The key to its realization will be collaboration between
technology providers, healthcare institutions, governments, and regulatory
bodies to ensure a smooth and secure transition towards a connected global
healthcare system.
It's an exciting prospect, and as the technology and
infrastructure continue to evolve, your vision may become a reality
in the not-so-distant future.
