Wipro Technologies, the global IT and outsourcing business of Wipro
Limited, Thursday announced the launch of the Wipro AssureHealth platform
in partnership with Microsoft.
"This is primarily targeted at
healthcare providers to deliver innovative solutions for remote fetal
monitoring and cardiac care that will ensure high quality treatment at
reduced costs, especially for chronic diseases", the
Bangalore-headquartered company said in a statement.
The platform
leverages Microsoft's cloud, mobility and analytics offerings to allow
care providers to monitor patients regularly and precisely, it said.
This
is done through hosted services and mobile apps that integrate medical
devices, IT Infrastructure and 24/7 customer support, to deliver highly
scalable solutions.
"The fetal monitoring service delivers
accurate recordings of maternal, fetal heart rate and uterine activity
from the expectant mother to the physician over his/her mobile device
thereby enhancing the doctors ability to provide enhanced care to
patients", Wipro said.
The fetal monitor is a small wearable
wireless device that provides beltless monitoring of the mother and the
baby in the womb. It accurately records maternal and fetal heart rate,
and uterine activity, thereby providing information on fetal and
maternal well-being, it was stated.
