“We’re excited to partner with Google Cloud to enable 10Bed ICU and 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, eGoverments Foundation said in a statement.
10BedICU is a program run by the e-Governments Foundation that was conceived during the pandemic to build ICUs (intensive care units) in government hospitals across the country, especially in rural and remote areas, according to an official report.
With 10BedICUs, it aims to create a hub-and-spoke model where experts from medical colleges manage units in taluka hospitals linked to TeleICU hubs.
In Mysore, the TeleICU hub at KR Hospital is linked to taluk government hospitals in Nanjangud, HD Kote, Santhemrahalli, Malavalli and Virajpet, the report added.
“At Google Cloud, we believe that cloud technology can play an important role moving forward Patient care and healthcare outcomes. We are thrilled to work with the eGov team to bring critical care closer to people and expand the reach of healthcare networks,” Bikram Singh Bedi, managing director, Google Cloud India, said in a statement.
In Karnataka, the 10bedICU program will cover 41 taluka hospitals with two hospitals in each district, the report said.
