Dr.
Ashish Atreja leads digital health innovation at Mount Sinai, New York, where
he helped outreach to 1 million New Yorkers during COVID crisis. Now, he is
bringing same technology to India in partnership with Dr. Devashish Saini and
Rx.Health supported Health AAJ network
On first look,
the story of the two doctors quite similar. Both graduated from premier AIIMS
institute and went to USA and got trained in medical informatics. Dr.Ashish Atreja
stayed in US and now leads digital health innovation at Mount Sinai Health System,
New York. He launched the world’s first digital platform where doctors could
prescribe apps directly to millions of patients at once. During COVID crisis, Mount
Sinai spinout, Rx.Health, led by Dr.Atreja helped outreach to around 1 million
New Yorkers to support digital and virtual care.
Seeing the COVID
crisis in New Delhi and India, Dr.Atreja and Dr.Saini have now partnered to
help launch Health AAJ physician led care network where hospitals and
physicians will be provided license-free access to Rx.Health platform to
support video visits as well as digital care programs across all specialities.
The goal for Health AAJ to help fight COVID-related misinformation communicated
through WhatsApp and other channels and amplify the trusted voices of physicians
through digital channels. Health AAJ has also partnered with pan-India
non-profit Swasth app initiative to provide many of these digital programs for
free.
“Our common goal
is to bring the best digital health platform and digital monitoring across
diseases to create first of its kind trusted virtual care physician network to
deliver best possible care, to all those in need during this crisis. This
network will also provide a unique public-private channel for physicians practicing
abroad who have also been looking for best way to contribute to Indian
ecosystem- whether it’s through contributing knowledge of different specialities,
collaborative research or providing second opinion services from abroad.” – says
Dr.Atreja.
“Ross Clinics
mission is to make “friendly neighbourhood’ trusted family doctor available to everyone
in India. By supporting our physicians with best available digital care we will
now have ability to touch millions of patients’ lives and build a national most
trustworthy collaborative care network. Last week alone, we prescribed Health
AAJ preventive digital care plan to more than 10,000 patients in a day,
something that seemed impossible till few months ago”- says Dr.Saini.
“Chronic
diseases like diabetes, heart diseases and cancer require continuous education,
and connected care at home. By providing digital health platform that supports
education, behavior modification and monitoring for thousands and millions of
patients without consuming physicians time, Rx.HealthAaj network provides resources
that most of Indian physicians currently lack.”- Says Dr. Kalra, Senior
Consultant Bharti Hospital and President of Endocrinology Society of India.
Quote: The ability to digitally “bulk prescribe” most
trusted and accurate health information along with resources to “chat” with
physicians at the click of a button, is bringing “hospital to home” care across
India through Health AAJ trusted care network
About Health AAJ

well as world class referral network for second opinion in US and abroad, which
can provide care to longitudinal always-connected care in addition to episodic

monitoring across chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease or cancer,
Health AAJ is creating one of a kind physicians led and owned fully virtual
care ecosystem to bring the best digital health programs from across the world
