Last year, our planet earth was forced to shut down due to the pandemic. With an unpredictable future, everyone had to stay indoors. No one was sure of how long the coronavirus would take to leave and bring back everyone to a normal life. The world is collectively struggling with an unforeseen pandemic. Though the problems arose for most of the people as the industries, schools, colleges and even hospitals had to be shut down. Restriction on movement and other limitations amplified the problem of elders’ health and well-being. Many of the elders who lived alone, found it difficult to stay alone. But now there is a solution for elderlies who can make use of health services digitally without even moving out of their homes.
While there are a lot of other remote wellness programs available, GRSI has identified the need for a more seamless, well-designed, and compassionate one. The Program is powered by sophisticated technology, human intervention, and a reliable clinical network.
Home Care, Tele Consultation, Tele Emergency, Holistic Living, and Acute Care Management are key components of the Telewellness Program for senior citizens.
GRSI creates an easily accessible and responsive elder care support system with TeleWellness Initiative. Genesis Rehabilitation Services India (GRSI), a leading provider of Elder Care and Rehabilitation Services, recently announced the launch of a TeleWellness Program to provide a reliable and comprehensive care support system. GRSI aims to create an easily accessible and responsive elder care support system with TeleWellness Initiative. Home Care, Tele Consultation, Tele Emergency, Holistic Living, and Acute Care Management are key components of the Program.
Announcing the launch of the Program Nanki L Singh, CEO and MD of GRS India said, “ In post COVID period digital health can be a key enabler in building an easily accessible support system for the well-being of seniors. Our Program aims to deliver accessible, comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable care. COVID-19 has inspired promising disruptions and increased the acceptability of digital healthcare solutions as a viable alternative to traditional healthcare delivery models.”
In India, the geriatric population has grown from 7.5% in 2001 to 8.6% in 2011 and may reach 20% by 2050. It is projected that by 2025 the aging population would count nearly 11% of the total population in India. A higher prevalence of chronic diseases, physical disabilities, mental illnesses, and other co-morbidities among elders is a major concern.
