Rare Disease Care Coordination Centre
A dedicated set up for Rare Disease Community which caters all short term and long term needs. The objective is to ensure the community gets all required solutions in platform like, medical care, Telemedicine, emergency assistance, training & development, community forums etc.,
Organization for Rare Diseases India had some patients suffering with Rare Diseases. Today, most of the patients are forced to wait for couple of days to get their emergency treatments that too hey travel and come from several hundreds of kilometers. This is the situation in India. Delay in diagnosis/treatments aggravates the condition for further worst levels. If the Rare Disease patient is an adult, then it comes with many unwanted complications right from finding a specialist to treatment. To address all these challenges, we are planning for a complete solution for the Rare Disease Patients and families with integrated system of services. They are , medical care, Telemedicine, emergency assistance, training & development, community forums etc.,
For the organization to manage the above needs a robust software on a single platform.
The concept is planned by keeping in mind the beneficiaries are the Rare Disease Patients. They should get the access to right experts, diagnosis, treatment, therapies within the timelines. Their reports and data should be readily available for any requirements of clinical trials etc.,
We have been supporting the community since 2014. We have the support partners from various hospitals and medical teams associated with us supporting for the cause.
- Optimize holistic care for people with rare diseases—including physical, mental, social, and legal support
- Support daily care management for patients and/or their caregivers
- Mitigate barriers to accessing medical care after diagnosis which disproportionately affect disinvested communities and historically underrepresented identity groups
- Enhance coordination of care and strengthen data sharing between health care professionals, specialty services, and patients
- Empower patients with quality information about their conditions to fight stigma associated with rare diseases
- Promote community and connection among rare disease patients and their advocates
- Prototype
We need the financial support to build & integrate the platform and manage with required infrastructure to serve the community in a efficient manner.
In India, there is no one stop solution for Rare Disease conditions except for the Centre of excellences which are just 8 numbers in count for the whole country. Again here, one has to travel longer distances and come physically irrespective of his/her health condition.
Our platform gives online, over a call, telemedicine services through technology and innovation.
No Rare Disease Patient should be left behind the right diagnosis, treatment and therapies. Today, many of the parents struggle with no hope by spending lots of money and time just to figure out what is the disease with the kids. This brings financial and emotional burdens to the families.
The impact can be measured on number of patients who got right diagnosis, who are getting regular treatments and therapies. All numbers are quantifiable.
Aiming for 2000 patients to get facilitated in one year and 20000 by 5 years
This on number patients who are getting diagnosis and treatment
Moving from traditional approach to elevated approach in diagnosis and treatment for Rare Disease patients through technology and networking. The support system for financial needs for the treatment, community forums for the benefit of the families, Education models for caregivers and families... These are the plans with 360 degree for the Rare Disease patients
Integrate the Open source hospital management software's with custom made and designed software with required features for the organization. This should capture online, call centre and data points.
