DESCRIPTION

HealthCursor Consulting Group India- Distribution and Marketing- Mobile network operators in Africa have identified the growing demand for financial services and micro insurance . Airtel Africa has partnered with MicroEnsure for Mobile Micro Insurance. The range of Airtel-branded insurance products includes life, accident, health, agriculture, and other forms of cover. Connecting intermediaries, customers and surveyors- ICICI Lombard India's mobile initiative started simply enough, with a set of basic applications that gave customers a consolidated view of all their policies, a reminder service to renew a policy, and a way to track the status of a claim. But as they matured with the mobile platform, they re-visited the paradigm and devised new ways to provide customers with more value-added and user-friendly features. This is however restricted to Auto insurance only. Encryption, Transactions and handling customer grievance- Public sector general insurance company United India Insurance launched a mobile-based real-time fund transfer facility for payment of premium. M-Power enables customers to renew their policies and also remit the premium for approved proposals. To use this facility, one has to get an MMID (an identification number called - mobile money identifier) from his/her bank and enable one’s mobile with the application given by the bank. However, there are only 10 banks on board with this platform. This initiative follows the launch of its Internet-based sales, customer grievance portal and information-cum-sales kiosks. Sales, awareness and providing access- Bima, a young Swedish microinsurance company, is using mobile phones to sell as many as three billion new insurance policies to the global poor. Bima, that has begun to access this untapped market, is now one of the largest mobile insurance platforms in the world. In just three years, Bima has acquired 4 million clients in Africa and Asia and is adding 400,000 new subscribers per month. Bima has been tackling many of the obstacles—education, pricing, premium collection—that prevent poor people from obtaining such benefits. For instance, Bima products such as life, accident and health insurance cost "as little as $0.20 to $6.00 a month. Last month, Leapfrog invested $4.25 million in Bima, which will allow the company to expand even further within Africa and Asia as well as reach into new markets in Latin America.

•There is 1 doctor per 1000 people in India.

•Most of India’s estimated 1.2 billion people have to payfor medical treatment out of their own pockets (That ismore than 80% of the total health expenditure as per2011 stats).

•Less than 15% of the population in India today has anykind of health-care cover, be it community insurance,employers’ expenditure, social insurance etc.

•Over 72% (that would be over 620 million) of India’spopulation lives in its 638,588 villages.

•It is hard to believe but in India, a common man is mostindebted to healthcare after dowry.

Innovation brings economic growth

“India is an entrepreneurial country, but itsentrepreneurs have had to struggle to create andgrow their business ventures. There is, however, agrowing group of first-generation Indianentrepreneurs – the founders of companies such asHCL, Cognizant, Infosys, Bharti and others that havegenerated large scale employment and significantwealth. They and others such as IndiaBulls,Makemytrip and Naukri have also demonstratedvalue creation through a public listing. Thesesuccesses have encouraged a new breed ofentrepreneurs especially in the internet and e-commerce space.

India has the potential to build about 2,500 highlyscalable businesses in the next 10 years – and giventhe probability of entrepreneurial success that means10,000 start-ups will need to be spawned to get to2,500 large-scale businesses. These businessescould generate revenues of Rs10 lakh crore ($200billion)”

Moreover, entrepreneurship tends to be innovation-driven and will also help generate solutions to India’s myriad social problems including high-quality education, affordab le health care, clean energy and waste management, and financial inclusion. Entrepreneurship-led economic growth is also more inclusive and typically does not involve exploitation of natural resources.

Application of usable innovation

Health Awareness and Education- Existing health content could be aggregated, filtered and indexed, under the guidance of global domain experts and made available on IVR, mobile devices

and tablets like “Aakash”.

Said innovation will help achieve &:

1. Assist India with meeting the MDGs by providing support to the social sectors; WHO says thatIndia will fail to achieve some of the most important Millennium Development Goal (MDG)targets like reduction in maternal and child deaths, and increase in child immunization rates by2015.

2. Solve the economic implications related to the burden of NCDs in the country- In 2004, 4.8million (59.4 percent) of the estimated 8.1 million Indian deaths were due to NCDs. A 2011study shows that about 25% of families with a member with CVD and 50% with cancerexperience catastrophic expenditure and 10% and 25%, respectively, are driven to poverty.

3. Help ASHA/ Aanganbadi workers stay connected to useful resources at the time of need.- Theinformation challenges facing health workers include lack of routine systems for seeking andsharing information, lack of high-quality and current health information, and lack of locallyrelevant materials and tools. Without such basic information, the provision of quality servicesby health workers, the effective management of programs, and the use of evidence toformulate health policy all suffer. This information deficit contributes to poor health outcomes,including increased morbidity and mortality.

Application of usable Innovation

Crowd-sourcing Healthcare- provide an opportunity for scientists, doctors, technocrats, students

and others with diverse expertise to work for a common cause.

Said innovation will help achieve &:

1. Drug Discovery- Crowd-sourcing will help assist India with controlling morbidity of Tropicaldiseases by providing a global platform where the best minds can collaborate & collectivelyendeavour to solve the complex problems associated with discovering novel therapies forneglected tropical diseases like Malaria, Tuberculosis, Leshmaniasis, etc. Drug discovery can bemade successful by pulling together informaticians, wet lab scientists, contract researchorganizations, clinicians, hospitals and others who are willing to adhere to the affordablehealthcare philosophy.

2. Best Practices- Sharing best practices in solving some of the most complex issues around NCDsand related complications in the country. Take an example of Multiple sclerosis- It is verydifficult to prognosticate effectively for MS patients. Some individuals have a very benigncourse and/or respond well to treatment, whereas others become rapidly disabled withinseveral years of diagnosis. Sharing of best practices related to treatment, prognosis and followup can hence lead to success.

3. Clinical Trials- Governments and public funded institutions in the countries with high burden ofdisease has a responsibility to contribute to the drug development. The cost of trials cantherefore be brought down considerably on a platform which is crowd-sourced and open.

Digital Health Efforts- Collaboration areas

Health Information systems-

CHIS- India will also put in place a Citizen Health Information System (CHIS) - a biometric based health

information system which will constantly update health record of every citizen-family. The system will

incorporate registration of births, deaths and cause of death.

Surveillance- Maternal and infant death reviews, nutrition surveillance, particularly among under-six

children and women, service delivery in the public health system, hospital information service besides

improving access of public to their own health information and medical records would be the primary

function of this effort. Placed on a GIS platform, it can identify geographic concentration of disease.

Medical Records- The system will also provide hospital information service to improve the quality of

care to patients through electronic medical records, to lower response time in emergency and improve

hospital administration. It will support emergency response systems and referral transport

arrangements, the organ retrieval and transplantation programme.

Resource Mobilisation- The system will also support financial management -- from resource allocation,

resource transfers, accounting and utilization to financial services like making of payments to facilities,

providers and beneficiaries. It will provide a platform for continuing medical education and support

regulatory functions of the state by creating a nation-wide registration of clinical establishments,

manufacturing units, drug testing laboratories, licensing of drugs, approval of clinical trials

Page 29: mHealth and Inclusive Innovation in India

Approach and Innovation

The major part of public investment in information technology in health care

would go to institutional capacity building for understanding and use of

information.

Incurring large expenditures on hardware and software without making a

matching input in capacity development and institutionalization can be an error.

Every state should have the skilled human resources needed at state and district

level. This would require a mix of those with IT skills and public health informatics

skills.

State centres for health information, either standalone, or embedded in existing

institutions would be essential and district teams of three to five persons for

managing information flows and interpreting information would also be essential.

Lessons learned

•The future of Healthcare innovation requires accessing and managing distributed

networks of knowledge providers.

•Health/Biomedical research infrastructures need to be accessible, high quality and

sustainably financed.

•The intellectual property landscape should evolve to better leverage strategic intangible

assets.

•New research and business models are needed to meet economic and public health

objectives.

•Intellectual Asset Valuation could facilitate trade in the under –exploited knowledge assets

of the Healthcare/Biomedical sector.

•Regulatory evolution, in consultation with industry, is critical to ensure the development

and diffusion of breakthrough biomedical technologies and the innovative use of existing

technologies.

•End users of new biomedical technologies have an increasingly strong impact on

innovators and public policy.
