Circle of Life Healthcare Private Limited has launched an app called myCOL to simplify the hospitalization experience for patients and their caretakers in India, starting first with NCR. myCOL app will provide exhaustive information of more than 1300 hospitals across the city, irrespective of size and facilities, through an easy to use map based search.
Shortly, the Company will also incorporate it’s flagship service whereby it will provide a free personal assistant to the user, who will take care of all procedural formalities at the time of hospitalization.
With the recent outbreak of an epidemic like Dengue or Malaria, even in a city like Delhi, which has the second highest number of hospital beds in the country, there was reportedly an acute shortage of hospital beds. myCOL’s endeavour is to remove the asymmetry of information regarding hospital facilities and assist the patient in his hour of need.
Talking about the app, Vaibhav Singh, Co-founder & CEO said
Our vision is to democratize healthcare and remove the fear which patients and caretakers feel when approaching a hospital for an In-patient Procedure. myCOL combines the benefits of technology and human touch, to deliver a unique product to the services-starved patient.
Salient Features of myCOL
Map Based Exhaustive Search
myCOL works as a veritable encyclopedia offering unbiased information on all medical facilities and practitioners in your region, a user-friendly map based listing & search functionality. The myCOL team has collected this data painstakingly by personally visiting each hospital irrespective of the size and location to ensure that you have access to all the information you require to make a better decision.
Personal Assistant
Long queues and waiting time at hospitals add to the stress of hospitalization. myCOL’s revolutionary service involves instant assignment of a personal assistant to the user who will handle all the administrative tasks like admission, insurance coordination and discharge. This will allow the caretaker to focus solely on the well-being of the patient rather than getting unnecessarily bogged down by the infamous 3 hour waits at admission and 6 hour discharge processes. Like all other features, this service is absolutely Free.
Health Records
myCOL provides a cloud-based facility to store all health records including prescriptions, invoices, insurance papers etc. for self and family members. With its unique share facility, you can share records with your doctors or your loved ones with ease. Now do away with those archaic manual files and create an indexed online medical repository.
Reminder Facility
Never miss out on any medications or appointments. The innovative reminder service allows the guardian to keep a tab on medicine compliance by the aged through an efficient notification facility.
Take care of your family members
myCOL allows you to create groups for your loved ones through the unique myCircle feature and take complete charge of their health.
