Kellton awarded 27.5 cr mSwasthya project in UP to develop mobile healthcare platform

Hyderabad-based Kellton Tech said it has been awarded mSwasthya project by SIFPSA for developing a mobile healthcare platform to improve maternal and infant mortality rate outcomes in Uttar Pradesh for a project outlay of Rs 27.5 crore. Mobile application development company, Kellton Tech said in a statement issued in Hyderabad that it is the lead partner along with consortium partners CMS Computers and IntraHealth Inc.

The application, it said, would help health workers in their activities by enabling them to collect health data concerning mother and child in real-time and supporting them in providing health care. The project, awarded by State Innovation in Family Planning Services Project Agency, is to be implemented in five districts of UP - Mirzapur, Faizabad, Sitapur, Bareilly and Kannauj.Once executed, the solution is expected to be extended to the remaining 70 districts of Uttar Pradesh, it said.

Presently, it entails handing over smart-phones to the 10,252 ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activists) workers and tablets to 1719 ANMs (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife) and 300 people, comprising medical officers, medical officers in-charge and State Innovation in Family Planning Services Project Agency (SIFPSA).

According to PTI, the 'app' is an enterprise solution that will be hosted on cloud, facilitating remote access and enrolment through 3G-enabled mobile devices from across the region. The data captured will be stored on cloud, which will be the central database. The solution will be optimised for low bandwidth and intermittent connectivity, both common concerns in the rural environments where this app will primarily be used, it said.

"The acquired social data will be an excellent repository for analysis, and through advanced analytics it is bound to yield meaningful information that can serve as the baseline for future public schemes and policies," the statement said. "This three-year project is slated to be the largest enterprise mobile application rollout in the health and e-governance sector of India and also possibly of the world," Karanjit Singh, CEO Kellton Tech, claimed.
