An extension of EMPI's Mission Innovative India
The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought the structure and process of healthcare systems into focus with healthcare institutions being perceived as hot zones of Infection. Suddenly, healthcare providers are facing a disruptive moment where the traditional basis of healthcare institutions are being found inadequate to deal with the crisis brought on by the COVID 19 pandemic where patient safety, as well as the occupational safety of the healthcare, are both at risk. This situation has forced everyone to radically transform through an innovative approach from being the omnibus health provider where the patient was always coming to the hospital, to the one that reaches out proactively to patients in their habitats irrespective of whether a person is on the move or at home/ office. Fortunately, technologies have now developed that can bring about pervasive healthcare into homes and communities directly with ‘Do-it-yourself’ (DIY) features. These technologies like IOT, wearables, 4G/5G data transmission, deep tech and robotics have reached a certain maturity level where they can be designed, developed, adapted and manufactured at scale to augment healthcare-seeking and delivery mechanisms to meet the changing needs and expectations. Further, if developed at low-cost devices that are ruggedized for India and developing country contexts, they offer huge potential for scale wherein healthcare access drastically increases and it becomes Pervasive, Personalized and Less Capital Intensive. Doctors and healthcare institutions, supported by technology can increase their reach enormously with the appropriate underpinning of innovative business models making ‘healthcare for all’ a reality and a win-win situation for different stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. While the developments in the field of telemedicine as well as the related useful devices have got dramatically accelerated in response to addressing the challenges posed by the Covid 19 Pandemic, it has become very difficult for the end users to keep track of the available devices suitable to their needs. To address this problem, a registry is being created by DHIndia for all the devices in the Telehealth ecosystem which are aimed to serve as the one stop solution for organisations / individuals to help them find the appropriate devices that would match their needs. The registrants for the REME-DIY Challenge will be considered for evaluation in the registry at no cost to them.
This challenge aims to find out and nurture software / hardware / business model based innovative solutions that can disrupt remote monitoring, evaluation, diagnostics, intervention &analytics in the healthcare sector including adaptations of existing technologies/solutions operating in Hospitals and Traditional Health Institutions, thereby transforming healthcare from traditional health institutions to pervasive healthcare.

EMPI Business School Group, New Delhi was established in 1995, by a group of nation builders who have been highly committed and successful professionals and academicians in their own respective domains. EMPI's guiding philosophy of 'Innovating Futures' is the basis for its institutional ethos, wherein Innovation is achieved, not only through academic study and research at its B-School, but also by incubating and spinning off various initiatives and entities that impact the future. These initiatives are emergent from the dynamic inter-play of Technology, Academia, Public Policy and Civil Society, leading to the birth of a series of 'Firsts' in the country. EMPI has also developed a reputation for innovative international initiatives and for advocating innovations in national policy and governance.
Innovation Awards- EMPI's 'Mission Innovative India' was launched by the President of India, H.E. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in the year 2005. It included the pioneering, EMPI Indian Innovation awards series to identify and recognize organizational innovations across corporates, non-corporates, network of organizations and the government on one platform. The Indian Express Group joined in the awards in 2006 and the Boston Consulting Group joined as the Research Partner and Process Validator. Prominent awardees included the Pulse Polio Campaign, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India; NarayanaHrudayalaya; LV Prasad Eye Institute; Tata Consultancy Services; Communitization Initiative, Govt. of Nagaland, SPIC-MACAY, Genpact, Tata Motors, Mother Dairy amongst others.
