When our car breaks down in the middle of the road, we don’t sweat anymore. The car mechanic is just a phone call away. But what will you do if you have a medical emergency while travelling all alone? Even worse -- what will your aged father do in the unfortunate event of a cardiac arrest, that too in a distant city?Lybrate.com, the innovative online solution for finding trusted doctors in any city or town in India, has come up with its mobile App, especially to deal with such critical medical situations. It is just a matter of pressing the power button on your phone to reach out to your near and dear ones.
In this age of nuclear families, it is very common to see aged parents staying alone at home. This mobile App by Lybrate will come in handy to take care of them – round the clock. In the unfortunate event of a cardiac arrest or choking, the person nearest to your aged relative can use the App to send emergency messages or even better, open it and locate the nearest ambulance, hospital or doctor.
With this smart and intuitive App, one can assign the persons to be contacted in case of a medical emergency. The application allows adding as many contacts as possible to the emergency list – your spouse, parents, children or even your family doctor. The most important aspect about the Lybrate App for the patients is that the Internet connection is not required to send emergency messages!
The benefits of the App do not end here. One can also share the medical reports and other vital information such as the blood group and blood pressure (saved in the App) with the doctor, even before the patient is rushed to the hospital.
Commenting on this new mobile App, Saurabh Arora, Founder and CEO, Lybrate, says: “With the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular ailments and road traffic accidents, it is imperative that a patient gets the best possible assistance in the quickest possible time. And what better than getting it on your hand phone? Our mobile App is designed to ensure that we are able to save lives in case of all emergencies.”
Lybrate, a startup company based in New Delhi, has recently raised $1.23 million in funding from Nexus Venture Partners, and Saurabh calls the partnership with the US-based VC fund as the meeting of like-minded people. “We share the thoughts about the state of healthcare in India and aim at making it simple, together,” he says.
The benefits of this mobile App by Lybrate are not just restricted to emergency situations. The main purpose of the App remains to be finding a trusted medical practitioner near you. Be it a General Physician, dentist, cardiologist or immunologist, find any doctor you want at just a tap on your phone, and book instant appointments.
Now one need not worry about medical emergencies on the road or at homes. With Lybrate’s mobile App for patients, stay assured that medical assistance is at your disposal 24X7.
