What is e-Arogyam ?
“It is a cloud based platform to tackle the problem of lack
of medical awareness”
We are approaching the problem from patient side rather
than from medical provider’s side. There is a glaring
opportunity to do that given the extent mobile
penetration.

Children immunization ?
We are taking our first step with a solution around
improving “Children Immunization rate”.

As per WHO, nearly 30% of all non-neonatal, under-five deaths are still preventable through
immunization.

Current Imm. rates in rural UP
The Population Council study shows that in rural UP among
children aged 12-23 months, 34 percent were partially
immunized and 16 percent had received no immunization
at all.

Pain points 7
Avishek Hazra
27%
Lack of
knowledge
6% Unaware of
place
16%
Unaware of
day/timing
8%
Lack of faith
in
immunization

Given pain points emerge from more fundamental issue of
awareness and information gap which can be sustainably solved
by mHealth based solutions.
Jaleel Ahmed, M. E. Khan & Abhishek Hazra (TJFM, 2010) suggest usage of mobile phones
to remind ANMs, ASHA workers to remind families can ensure necessary action in
immunization.

Deployment Plan
• Pilot the smartphone based solution with 30 ASHA & 10 ANMS attached to
IntraHealth mHealth lab. IntraHealth has acknowledged the usefulness of E-
Arogyam and how well it complements mSakhi solution. They have also given
thumbs up to leverage the android based smartphones distributed by govt.
• Pilot all-SMS based solution with 30 ASHA workers using basic phone.
• Demonstrate the high impact value of the project in Pilot. Deploy the solution on
the scale of Jhansi District.

Funding for pilot
For Pilot we need operational cost of around INR 60,000 (3 months
duration) which would account for cloud cost and sms cost. Post
pilot with scale we can achieve efficiency of operating at 50% of
current cost.
Option #1: IntraHealth
Option #2: Government
Option #3: Self
