For most of us, when we need healthcare we go to our clinic or hospital and see a doctor. But in many parts of the world, that’s not an option. In small towns located far from urban centers, especially in developing countries, the trip to see a doctor may be next to impossible. Luckily, connected technology is making it easier for patients to gain access to healthcare remotely.
In places where healthcare is a scarce resource, technology can bring it closer to people.

The CritiNext eICU is being deployed in 34 ICU beds in two hospitals in India.
