Working of Swasthya Slate

The technology that made the instant diagnosis possible at Peeragarhi was medical device called the Swasthya Slate. This $600 device, the size of a cake tin, performs 33 common medical tests including blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, blood haemoglobin, urine protein and glucose. And it tests for diseases such as malaria, dengue, hepatitis, HIV, and typhoid. Each test only takes a minute or two and the device uploads its data to a cloud-based medical-record management system that can be accessed by the patient.
The Swasthya Slate was developed by Kanav Kahol, who was a biomedical engineer and researcher at Arizona State University’s department of biomedical informatics until he became frustrated at the lack of interest by the medical establishment in reducing the cost of diagnostic testing. He worried that billions of people were getting no medical care or substandard care because of the medical industry’s motivation in keeping prices high. In 2011, he returned home to New Delhi to develop a solution.
Kahol had noted that despite the similarities between medical devices in their computer displays and circuits, their packaging made them unduly complex and difficult for anyone but highly skilled practitioners to use. They were also incredibly expensive — usually costing tens of thousands of dollars each. He believed he could take the same sensors and microfluidics technologies that the expensive medical devices used and integrate them into an open medical platform. And with off-the-shelf computer tablets, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence software, he could simplify the data analysis in a way that minimally-trained front-line workers could understand.
By Jan. 2013, Kahol had built the Swasthya Slate and persuaded the state of Jammu and Kashmir, in Northern India, to allow its use in six underserved districts with a population of 2.1 million people. The device is now in use at 498 clinics there. Focusing on reproductive maternal and child health, the system has been used to provide antenatal care to more than 22,000 mothers. Of these, 277 mothers were diagnosed as high risk and provided timely care. Mothers are getting care in their villages now instead of having to travel to clinics in cities.
A newer version of the Slate, called HealthCube, was tested last month by nine teams of physicians and technology, operations, and marketing experts at Peru’s leading hospital, Clinica Internacional. They tested its accuracy against the western equipment that they use, its durability in emergency room and clinical settings, the ability of minimally trained clinicians to use it in rural settings, and its acceptability to patients. Clinica’s general manager, Alvaro Chavez Tori, told me in an email that the tests were highly successful and “acceptance of the technology was amazingly high.” He sees this technology as a way of helping the millions of people in Peru and Latin America who lack access to quality diagnostics.

parameters consider while buying term insurance

Term Insurance
Term insurance plan forms a core of a financial plan hence, everyone needs to have it. But before buying a term insurance plan here are few parameters to consider to make a right decision.
Sum assured: Typically, a minimum sum assured of ten times of your annual income is recommended. You should adjust this upward for any major liability such as mortgages. Premium rates for term insurance increase with length of coverage.
Riders: One important rider to buy with term insurance is critical illness rider. This rider will pay you a lump sum in case you are diagnosed with any of the specified critical illnesses.
Selecting insurer: You can choose an insurer based on the offered premium and its claims settlement ratio.
You can also buy multiple term insurance plans with same or different sum assureds. You can have the same or different plan durations as well. But you will need to disclose to the second insurer that you have an existing life insurance plan, with details of coverage.

Govt-to-provide-universal-insurance-for-all-road-accident-victims/

Soon government will provide universal insurance cover to all those who get injured in road crashes so that they are not deprived of immediate medical care.
The road transport ministry in its proposed amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act has provisioned for a fund that will ensure free treatment of grievously injured victims.
The provision gains significance considering the fact that at least 5 lakhs people were left injured in road crashes last year. And according to government reports at least 50% lives could be saved if they get quick medical care within the first one hour of a crash. Road crashes claimed 1.46 lakhs lives in 2015.
According to the bill, the fund can be created by collecting certain cess or tax, any grant or loan made by the central government or any other source of finance as may be prescribed by the government.
The bill states that the fund should be utilized for treatment of grievously hurt persons, for paying compensation to representatives of persons killed or seriously hurt in hit and run motor crashes.
Government would come out with the maximum liability amount that should be paid in each case.
In cases of people who have medical or life insurance cover, the payment made by government should be deducted from the claim they receive from the insurance companies.
The bill also provisions that the central government should launch a scheme for cashless treatment of victims of road crashes during the golden hour (first hour of crashes).

"Insurance premium rates will go up by 50-300 basis points when GST is passed

GST to make insurance costlier by 300 bps
By Shilpy Sinha, ET Bureau|Aug 03, 2016, 05.17 PM IST

Term plans will be the most hit which will become costlier by 300 basis points. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.
MUMBAI: Your insurance policies- life, health and motor will begin to cost more from April 2017 as you would end up paying up to 300 basis points more in taxes. This could pinch the middle class more as they continued to depend more on insurance for savings than other investments like stock markets. Indeed, the pure protection may cost more than the unit-linked insurance plans.
There are two parts of insurance and service tax is levied on the protection part and not the investment part. Term plans will be the most hit which will become costlier by 300 basis points. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point. Service tax of 15% is levied on term plans, which are pure protection. This will go up to 18% in the new regime.
At present, service tax of 3.5% is levied on protection part of endowment and unit-linked life insurance policy in the first year and 1.75% from second year onwards. This would go up to 4.5% in the first year and 2.25% from second year onwards.
"Insurance premium rates will go up by 50-300 basis points when GST is passed," said Naresh Makhijani head of financial services KPMG. "There is greater challenge in complying with the GST laws, deciding on where to pay tax. If the proposal is accepted in one state but the policy is issued from another, where does one pay premium?"
The industry believes that higher tax rate will have a negative impact on the insurance industry. Life insurance penetration has shown negative growth over the last few years. It has dropped from 4.6% in 2009 to 2.6% in 2016.
Also, you will have to pay 300 basis points more for motor, health and other general insurance products. Service tax of 15% is levied on general insurance products. This will go up to 18%. "Apart from policies becoming costlier by 300 basis points, processes will become cumbersome and we will have to see if we need to register in each state," said Ritesh Kumar managing director and CEO HDFC Ergo.
The life insurance council- representative body of life insurance companies- has asked the finance ministry that GST be levied only on the premium collected by the insurance companies only for their life insurance services, excluding the investment portion where the insurance companies act purely in a fiduciary capacity.
