Hello and welcome to behind the frontline podcast, the podcast that asks the very simple question, ‘how can we change the world?’ I’m your host, Dr Adil Khan. In this season, I will be chatting to expert guests to try to understand how COVID19 impacts society in different ways. I hope to share the insights of these great minds with you and hope to inspire you to ‘change the world’.
Imagine having a ‘hospital’ in your home. Why would anyone want this? Well, hospitals are, ironically inhospitable places, actually. There are a growing number of so-called superbugs which are only found there. People often develop other medical problems while they are admitted. And not to mention the extremely high cost of hospital treatment, both in the public and private sector.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we became acutely aware of how hazardous the hospital environment actually is. We developed anxiety when needing to go to the hospital in fear of contracting COVID. We heard horror stories of family members bringing loved ones to the hospital because of COVID and not being able to see them at all due to restrictions.
Quro medical is a digital health company that is challenging this status quo. In this health tech feature, I speak with founder and CEO, Dr Vuyane Mhlomi. We learn how Quro leverages cutting-edge remote monitoring technology to solve the complex problem of our over-reliance on hospitals to administer healthcare.
