Google Cloud, eGov launched hub, connect ICU healthcare in remote hospitals



In the presence of Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Health Minister K. Sudhakar, Google Cloud and e-Governments Foundation launched the first Tele-ICU hub at K.R. Hospital in Mysuru on November 28, which will connect ICU healthcare in remote hospitals across the state.

First Tele ICU hub in Karnataka

“We are excited to partner with Google Cloud who are enabling 10 Bed ICU and the Tele ICU hub with their best-in-class technology. We launched a hub in Manipur with Google Cloud earlier this year and are now launching our first hub in Karnataka,” Srikanth Nadhamuni, Chairman, 10BedICU Project and Managing Trustee, eGovernments 
Foundation said in a statement.

10BedICU is a programme managed by the eGovernments Foundation that was conceived during the pandemic to create ICUs (intensive care units) in government hospitals across the country, particularly in rural and remote areas.

Goal to create a hub

The goal of 10BedICUs is to create a hub-and-spoke model in which specialists from medical colleges manage units in taluka hospitals linked to a TeleICU hub.

The TeleICU hub at KR Hospital in Mysore is linked to taluka government hospitals in Nanjangud, HD Kote, Santhemarahalli, Malavalli, and Virajpet, according to the report.

“At Google Cloud, we believe that cloud technology can play a significant role in advancing patient care and healthcare outcomes. We are thrilled to work with the eGov team to bring critical care closer to people, and extend the reach of the healthcare network,” Bikram Singh Bedi, managing director, Google Cloud India, said in a statement.

In Karnataka, the 10bedICU programme will cover 41 taluka hospitals with up to two hospitals in every district, said the report.
