Niramoy Healthcare Platform
We are developing a healthcare platform which will reduce cost, time, potential infection and frustration a patient has to go through while receiving healthcare service in traditional setup in Bangladesh and in this region.
Today most patients do not have medical record or face difficulty to maintain medical and hospital records and hardly have any platform to give feedback on satisfaction or outcome of taking a doctor’s consultancy. Moreover, today in most case patients need to visit a doctor even for health complains which can be treated staying at home. This overall situation increases cost, frustration, and sometime infection from visiting a doctor’s chamber.
An cloud based healthcare platform named Niramoy (Bengali meaning – get cured) where patients will be able to take doctors’ appointment, consultancy in video call or in chamber (if necessary) and get ePrescription through email or SMS link and pay for services online. The solution will also expand to provide Home Sample Collection Service for diagnostic centers, home caregiver service and medicine home delivery service. We also have developed a Hospital Management Software as a Service, which we have completed a pilot successfully to one of the largest public sector hospitals in Bangladesh.
It will server patients as well as healthcare service providers. It will reduce patients’ trouble to get healthcare service and help maintain electronic medical and hospital records. Service providers will be able to access patients’ records (on permission) and analyze medical history for prescribing medication in a more informed way.
Reduce patients cost and troubles to visit a doctor and maintain history of medical and hospital records electronically.
- Pilot: An organization deploying a tested product, service, or business model in at least one community
- A new business model or process
Reduce visit to hospital or clinic for problems that can be treated remotely and create an ecosystem so that consumer and providers can complete the loop of healthcare service. It is not just doctors consultancy over video, we are connecting diagnostic centers to collect test samples from home, on boarding nurse for giving nursing services at home, on boarding medicine shop to deliver medicine at home. All the service provider connected and can access required data in a secure way only for the duration permitted by owner of the data. And everybody can give feedback about the service they consume.
The solution is developed based on C#, .net Core 3, SQL Server, all in cloud and support auto scale. Its a SaaS Solution and user can configure their own settings and rules.
We have done a pilot for hospital management SaaS solution which shows customer (a large public hospital in Bangladesh) can increase 30% of their revenue by stopping billing fraud.
For "Niramoy Healthcare Platform' we are launching it on 1st July 2020. But we already receiving good market response from our network and confident that we will be able to create good traction to onboard healthcare service consumers and providers
- Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
- Big Data
- Software and Mobile Applications
With online platform both healthcare service consumers and providers will be able to save time and cost of getting or providing healthcare service that do not need someone to visit hospital or clinic for sure. This will also increase reach of healthcare service. In rural areas where people are discouraged to take doctors advice as it is time consuming and costly. This platform will also open the avenue of hearing the voice of patients and doctors, which will increase quality of service and outcome.

Our goal is to serve the people mentioned above in next one to five years.
We have planned to build partnership with companies that has bigger reach like big NGOs, Telcos, Local Governments etc. Some of the partnership already in progress to be rolled out.
We are developing the platform for last two years with very less revenue from pilot implementation. Now when we were planning to expand our institutional base, the Covid-19 pandemic has put healthcare service providers in financial crisis. So we we are not being able to onboard new hospitals or clinics for our Hospital Management solution. So we are not struggling to manage our running cost.
We do not have good budget to create enough awareness.
There is no written healthcare service policy for online provider in Bangladesh. This may create uncertainty in moving forward from regulatory support point of view.
We are trying to onboard investors to support us for operational expenses.
We are launching our new 'Niramly Healthcare Platform' in July 1, 2020 and expecting a revenue stream form video consultancy service charges.
We will are maintaining relationship to coordinate to develop a regulatory policy for online healthcare service platforms.
