The healthcare industry has long
been overburdened by slow moving
innovation due to the complexity of
the medical ecosystem that’s chang-
ing aggressively, and IoT and M2M
solutions are playing a catalyst role
in this change and revolutionizing
the pharma sector.
“It will also be helpful in providing
better medication-management and
will be the fastest growing segment
in the whole IoT market,” predicts
Mr Pratyush.
Technology is playing a significant
role in improving the quality of
healthcare, cost efficiency, precision
performance, proactive and on-time
care, real-time communication and
most importantly, saving lives.
Tata Teleservices is working with
partners to develop scalable ICT (In-
formation and Communication Tech-
nologies) and IoT solutions across
the healthcare value chain which in-
cludes hospitals, vendor ecosystem,
doctors and individuals.

The following are few areas which
will see innovation, and will benefit
both the industry as well as patients:
Outpatient monitoring
Wearables
Remote monitoring or rural
healthcare
mHealth
Location based services
ICT Trends In Indian
Healthcare
ICT and IoT solutions are impacting
the healthcare in a significant man-
ner.
There is the wearables space which is
enabling and pushing ordinary peo-
ple to maintain a healthy lifestyle,
and then, there are those simple in-
novations which are enabling the
healthcare industry to provide better
quality of care to its patients.
Outpatient monitoring and telemedi-
cine applications are introducing the
healthcare industry to newer ways
of interaction with patients and en-
abling them to not only monitor pa-
tients on a continuous basis but also
respond more quickly to situations
that need their attention.
“As an example, a monitoring device
is given to the patient at the time of
discharge for a limited timeframe,
which helps the doctor to continue to
monitor the patient and suggest cor-
rective actions during the patient’s
recovery,” states Mr Pratyush.
As per a Deloitte Report, telemedi-
cine is witnessing fast adoption in In-
dia. In 2012, the telemedicine market
in India was worth $7.5 million, and
it is expected to rise 20% annually to
$18.7 million by 2017.
Telemedicine can provide low-cost
consultation and diagnostic facilities
to the remotest areas via high-speed
The major users of ICT include big
pharmaceutical companies, cor-
porate hospitals and other private
health sector institutions, while the
public healthcare sector is lagging
way behind in IT utilization. But the
good news is that the situation is
changing.
Mr Pratyush mentions, “Though ICT
solutions have had a positive im-
pact on the healthcare sector, there
are some challenges that need to be
overcome in order to provide afford-
able, high quality healthcare solu-
tions, and innovations to hospitals
and their vendor ecosystem, doctors,
and eventually the citizens of this
country.”
The government is now cognizant
that technology can help overcome
challenges arising due to geographi-
cal size, high-population density,
lack of healthcare infrastructure, in-
accessibility in rural India, poor nu-
tritional conditions, and low literacy,
among others.
Furthermore, the National Health
Policy endorsed by the Parliament of
India encourages the introduction of
electronic communication media in
health sector.
The Government of India also
brought in the National Rural Health
Mission for delivering the best-in-
class healthcare facilities to the rural
population.
The Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare and the Ministry of Com-
munication and Information Tech-
nology are jointly creating a national
health information infrastructure for
easy capture and dissemination of
health information.
Like all new disruptive technolo-
gies, IoT deployments face numerous
challenges.
internet and telecommunications,
thus, bridging the rural-urban divide.
In addition, India’s extensive mobile
technology infrastructure and better
connectivity infrastructure is expect-
ed to drive mobile health (mHealth)
adoption further.
He points, “Several people in our
country do not have ready access to
decent healthcare. There are many
challenges to set up a full-fledged
hospital at remote and rural loca-
tions.
However, IoT-based wireless solu-
tions are now making it possible for
doctors based in cities to monitor
patients located in remote villages.
Now, villagers need not travel long
distances to get a simple diagnosis
done.”
Mr Pratyush feels that solutions need
not involve complex ICT infrastruc-
ture.
“SMS-based solutions are enabling
doctors and hospitals to send re-
minders and alerts to their patients
on medication or health checkups.
“This management of medication
through SMS platform ensures doc-
tors and hospitals provide best pos-
sible care to their patients,” he adds.
Challenges to disruption
Despite being an IT-enabled servic-
es behemoth, the use of ICT in the
healthcare sector is limited in India.
The government is
now cognizant that
technology can help
overcome challenges
arising due to
geographical size, high
population density

THE CLOUD ADOPTION
Though cloud computing is still a concept that exists only in theory for
the Indian healthcare industry, the healthcare vertical has made it to
the potential list of every cloud vendor and service provider.
Mr Pratyush says, “It is not surprising, given the general opinion that
healthcare industry is rapidly automating itself, and soon enough, will
be leapfrogging towards the cloud.”
Research agencies like Zinnov have derived that the healthcare industry
currently spends only about 2% of their total budgets on IT. This figure
is set to grow to 15 to 20% in 2015, and up to 40% in 2020, purely to-
wards adoption of cloud services.
This will mean that the cloud opportunity within the healthcare seg-
ment could touch $600 million in 2020. At a CAGR growth rate pegged
at 25%, healthcare is definitely one of the most promising segments as
far as cloud adoption is concerned.
“With connected IoT devices, reliable
bidirectional signaling is essential for
collecting and routing data between
devices. You need to be 100% sure
that that stream of data is going to
arrive at its destination every time,”
emphasizes Mr Pratyush.
Security is another important factor
in IoT connectivity.
“What good is a smart home if any-
one can unlock your doors, or for
that matter anyone can access your
health records?” asks Mr Pratyush.
“Solutions need to ensure that when
sending or receiving a stream of data,
the IoT device or server has proper
authorization to send or receive that
stream of data, and most important-
ly, you need end-to-end encryption
between devices and servers.”
Huge and uninterrupted power
consumption is also seen to pose
challenges. “Billions of IoT devices
which are required to transmit data
between one another will require un-
interrupted power either through the
grid or battery bank,” he stresses.
Currently most solutions deployed in
the country are based on proprietary
technologies which make it difficult
for customers to scale or opt out in
case the solutions are not working for
them.
Tata Teleservices is working with
partners to create innovative ICT so-
lutions for the healthcare industry.
These solutions address the basic
needs of providing telecom infra-
structure as well as more complex
IoT solutions such as LBS (Location-
based services) or healthcare-related
applications.
Trillion dollar opportunity
As far as the IoT market opportunity
is concerned, while findings of market
research companies may vary, they
are unanimous in their conclusion
that this is a trillion dollar opportu-
nity in terms of revenue potential.
A recent study by a global network-
ing major predicted that there will
be 25 billion devices connected to
the internet by 2015, and 50 billion
by 2020, thus highlighting its promi-
nence in the coming decade.
Mr Pratyush explains, “We have seen
IoT and M2M deployments primar-
ily in the utilities and transportation
space, but that is changing slowly.
As the devices, sensors and applica-
tion ecosystems grow, we are seeing
investments being made across BFSI
(Banking, Financial Services and In-
surance), retail, healthcare and even
the home and building management
space. The Government of India
is also playing a significant role in
adopting ‘smart IoT technologies’.
The ‘Smart Cities’ program as well
as ‘Digital India’ is leading entre-
preneurs to make substantial invest-
ments in this space.”
Globally, IoT has seen deployment
across transport, utilities, retail, logis-
tics, home automation and security.
“The West is definitely a few steps
ahead in terms of use cases and scale
of deployments, but it would be in-
correct to say that we are ‘very’ far be-
hind,” he opines. “The next few years
will be critical for India, and I believe
we have a good opportunity to bridge
the gap. The Government’s ‘Digital
India’ program and ‘Smart Cities’ ini-
tiatives will further the cause of IoT
substantially.”
Tata Teleservices has been develop-
ing IoT solutions for its customers
across a host of use cases and indus-
tries which includes the healthcare
industry.
“Our solutions encompass not only
the telecom infrastructure but the de-
vices and application as well in select
verticals. Healthcare is a key vertical,
and we are working with partners to
create solutions which will be benefi-
cial for our customers,” concludes Mr
Pratyush. BS
