The Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur (IIT-KGP) has developed a free software for providing patient management services for Vivek Sanjivani — a real-time telemedicine initiative launched by the Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service in Varanasi.

Called ‘Matri Seva’, the software will be hosted on a Microsoft cloud-based server and will be easily accessible to all 12 centres of Vivek Sanjivani. It can be used for primary healthcare, mental healthcare, follow-up visits, management of chronic diseases, medication management, health education and other clinical services.

Jayanta Mukhopadhyay, who is the lead researcher of the project at IIT-KGP, said, “Matri Seva is an extension of IIT-KGP’s existing open-source telemedicine system iMedixcare which is dedicated to community service of the community at Vivek Sanjivani centres.”
