Sanjeevani is the next step in the evolution of
Telehealth that allows
healthcare professionals to perform live and interactive
medical examinations on patients in remote locations. The Sanjeevani System includes
videoconferencing, integrated diagnostic devices and a complete management application
for managing patient data. The Sanjeevani system provides hospitals with a secure,
flexible and user-friendly tool that allows clinicians to maintain a high quality
of care for remote patients while also improving resource management and reducing
costs. This documentation is provided to the end user as a guide and manual for using
the Sanjeevani Telemedicine System. This manual consists of objectives and features
of the application that helps the user work on the system without any difficulty.
The document also presents adequate screen shots to help the user to get conversant
with the Sanjeevani environment and help the user to master the application quickly.
This document also contains glossary section, which is a wide knowledge base of
the technical words that are used in this application so that user can refer this
in case of any difficulty.
In short,
this documentation covers every aspect of application use and provides the user
quick information that may help to use the system effectively and efficiently.

Sanjeevani is the future of health care as it has the following potentials:
-
To increase the quality and access to healthcare.

Sanjeevani can benefit isolated communities and areas where access to specialized care is difficult or near to impossible.
In terms of attaining equitable health care in remote and isolated areas,
Sanjeevani applications are of particular interest in several ways:
- Physician referrals can be reduced by as much as 80% by connecting primary care physicians to specialists.
- Can improve access to specialty care in some areas, particularly in rural areas.
- Can improve the quality of care to patients through more timely delivery of medical services to the point of care.
- Can help to channel referrals, in much the same way current remote clinics tend to channel referrals.
The greatest value of Sanjeevani lies in its ability to provide additional help in remote or
impoverished areas where no doctor or clinic is within easy reach, or when existing health
care centers need specialized consultations. Sanjeevani solution can offer the possibility
for nurse practitioners in remote areas to consult with specialists at distant hospitals.
This enables the cost and risk of transporting ill or injured patients over long distances
and rough terrain to be avoided while providing timely access to health care.
Despite the initial outlay costs of investing in the computer hardware,
it is anticipated that there are considerable savings to be made in the long term,
by decentralizing patient care and moving it from the hospital to the local or
even the European community. Remote patients who would not otherwise have received
speedy treatment can be dealt with easily and medical data can be transferred instantaneously,
saving time and energy.
In short, Sanjeevani improves the mobility of patient care and assists the access
to all kinds of medical information. The patient gets improved treatment, scarce resources are used more efficiently and securing the reputation of
Sanjeevani as the future of medicine.
