Telemedicine can play a vital role in the Global COVID-19 pandemic by reducing viral spread, improving access to care, utilizing the time of healthcare professionals effectively and improving strategic communications.

A particular challenge in many LMIC countries is the lack of access to care, whether this is caused by geographical, social or economic barriers. AlemHeath's COVID-19 Screening WebApp, Telemedicine Triage and Missed Call Centre offers patients free access to COVID-19 symptom triage and strategic communications from our locally licensed physicians, regardless of their location, gender or social group.

Not only does the telemedicine centre provide vital care and guidance to patients, but also enables qualified female doctors sustainable, safe work and income. AlemHealth employed and trained 40 female physicians in COVID-19 Telemedicine triage, who have triaged over 15,000 patients to date.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are by far the leading cause of death in the world and patients from low and middle income countries (LMICs) make up 75% of all CVD deaths. The burden of CVDs and other non-communicable diseases in LMICs is creating significant strain on public health systems structured for communicable disease treatment and prevention. At AlemHealth, we develop low-cost solutions to allow these diseases to be detected earlier, allowing for more effective, and less costly, interventions.

Hardware + Software

Our telecardiology screening programme pairs battery-powered portable 12-lead ECG machines with our AlemBox hardware to transmit ECGs for reading and interpretation to cardiologists anywhere. In addition, we enable the latest in AI algorithms for assisted interpretation, allowing clinicians to interpret ECGs in a fraction of the time. Moreover, our solution comes at a fraction of the cost of traditional PC-based ECG solutions.

One of the biggest systemic challenges in LMIC countries is a shortage of trained healthcare professionals. AlemHealth helps overcome this shortage by providing allied medical training to workers at international standards. We partner with leading medical universities and training centres worldwide to provide medical training in fields including Radiography, ECG, Skilled Nursing, and other specialities at top-tier tertiary hospitals.
