mCURA Mobile Health launches MediLounge in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: mCURA Mobile Health Pvt. Ltd. has launched MediLounge, a premium integrated direct and teleconsultation platform, heralding a boon for local polyclinics and mid-sized hospitals. Employing a hub-and-spoke model, MediLounge facilitates patient access to specialists across cities and even abroad.
In A.S. Rao Nagar, Hyderabad, MediLounge offers premium integrated direct and teleconsultation services in a lounge facility. As a pioneer in Smart OPD transformation, MediLounge aims to provide pre-assessment services, IoT-enabled instant tests, and teleconsultation with specialists.
Ms. Madhubala Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO of mCURA, describes MediLounge as a next-generation teleconsultation platform offering an integrated pre-assessment module alongside specialist consultations and the generation of complete case files for holistic disease management. She emphasizes that MediLounge addresses healthcare gaps in India by facilitating doctor-to-doctor communication.
Teleconsultation is projected to grow by 23.95% over the next five years.
