S. Sanjeev is the MD of Medsphere. Medsphere Technologies is a global teleradiology and PACS solution provider, which develops teleradiology and PACS products and services for customers around the world. The product has unique capability of working with low bandwidth, making images available anytime, anywhere through the web, even on a lap top on the road (the only thing needed is Internet connectivity, which could be through a data card on a laptop. MedSphere is dedicated to fuse technology with healthcare. Both the fields require extreme focus, precision, and unaffordability to fail. This is so because human lives are involved. This naturally leads to the boundaries of ethics, integrity, and compliance. But these provide direction instead of limiting the company’s strength and work.
