Hyderabad: Four graduates of BITS Pilani launched an on-demand healthcare application, named VISIT, that connects patients with practitioners anytime, anywhere through smartphone or computer. The motivation for building the telemedicine app came to Anurag Prasad, Vaibhav Singh, Chetan Anand and Shashvat Tripathi from the setting of their own university as BITS Pilani is located in a far off area and accessing quality healthcare was inconvenient.
VISIT has 100 plus practitioners and 200 more of them are in the waiting list, Anurag Prasad said. "VISIT patient and physician mobile application enables modern house call: patients can start with free messaging to understand their symptoms and get answers to health concerns. If they need a specialist consultation, they can push a button and request a 'visit' from their smartphone; physicians connect on video within 30 minutes and are able to diagnose and treat with nothing more than a smartphone/PC and their expertise,” he added.
