ALTRUISTA HEALTH GOES GLOBAL WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART CARE CENTER
Reston, VA – Altruista Health announces the opening of its first international office in Gurgaon, India, which will provide health education and coaching to clients across the globe in an integrated approach that blends the expertise of medical staff with an innovative software system.
Dr. Harshit Jain, an entrepreneurial physician-executive with clinical experience in both the United States and India, leads the India operation. Dr. Jain is responsible for a team of registered nurses (RNs) – licensed in India and the United States, physicians and software developers.
Altruista Health has developed a state-of-the-art care management and health education software system that allows staff, in any part of the world, to track the health conditions of clients and provide evidence-based health advice using sophisticated clinical algorithms embedded in the software. This software is web-enabled and also has portals that can be accessed directly by clients to track and monitor their own health information and status.
“The continued aging of the overall population and the increase in incidence of chronic diseases presents a significant growth opportunity for Altruista Health to offer high-quality, cost-effective health coaching and educational services to clients world-wide,” said Ashish Kachru, Chairman of the Board at Altruista Health. “With a large number of highly trained physicians and nurses in India, many of whom are licensed to practice their professions in the United States, it is not unrealistic to expect an exponential increase in interest in cost-effective services offered by Altruista Health.”
