EasyClinic.in April 19, 2008
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Healthcare , trackbackHealthcare IT is a relatively new domain, especially when we consider clinical information systems (CIS). In most of the advanced western economies, this market is well defined and with plenty of competition (and I should know, since I’ve been in the same for last 8 years
). It’s heartening to see Indian homegrown efforts now emerging in this space. EasyClinic is a clinic management and electronic health record system that is designed and developed exclusively for doctors in India.
Their first release- ‘Easy Clinic Express’ has been in beta at about 10 sites in India. It was officially launched on 15th April 2008 and is aimed at single doctor practices. Their second offering, ‘Easy Clinic Professional’ is due June 2008 and is designed for multi-doctor, multi-specialty clinics. In December 2008 they plan to release ‘Easy Clinic Enterprise’ for small to medium nursing homes and hospitals.
The website is neat and professional looking with easy navigation to product features, a demo and some purchase info. From what I see in the demo screenshots, the product seems to follow suit. The two main components offered are Practice Management (does the scheduling, billing etc.) and Electronic Health Record (stores and abstracts the clinical info). Having no personal experience with the product, I can’t endorse the functionality except that the overall structure and framework of the offering seems to be competitive with the US systems that I deal with.
Easy Clinic is developed by Novel Medicare Solutions Pvt Ltd (incorporated 2005) and is based out of Kolkata. The company is self-funded by the founder Girish Mohata (India-born Australian entrepreneur who teaches at Bond University and is an active researcher in Medical Informatics, Data warehousing and Data Mining).
If I could read the tea leaves, I’d see EasyClinic as another sign of the emerging next transformation of the Indian healthcare industry, one where IT starts playing a role in enabling more efficient and standardized care delivery. At the very least, it’s a sign of a formal business models emerging around medical informatics in India. Goodluck and keep us posted, Girish!
