Chil Group запустила платформу E-Ward Round для телемедицинских консультаций в больницах сельской местности

Chil Group has launched its E-Ward Round Platform, a new digital health solution designed to bring specialized tertiary-level inpatient care directly to patients admitted in rural health facilities. The platform enables doctors in leading urban medical centers to conduct virtual, multidisciplinary ward rounds with rural healthcare teams in real time, giving patients admitted outside major cities access to specialist medical expertise without having to travel long distances. Chil Group said 67% of its partner health facilities have inpatient capacity, representing more than 260 medical wards, but many rural facilities still face shortages of specialized medical professionals, including cardiologists, neurologists and intensivists. By integrating the E-Ward Round Platform with Chil Group’s zero-cost Electronic Medical Record software, the company said it is addressing the healthcare gap by creating a digital connection between rural facilities, local clinical teams and urban-based specialists. “Patients should not have to travel hundreds of kilometers to access specialized medical care when technology can bring that expertise directly to them,” said Dr. Shamim Nabuuma Kaliisa, founder and CEO of Chil Group. “For the past six years, our B2B telemedicine solutions have focused primarily on outpatient services, but we recognize that inpatient care requires an equally strong digital bridge. The E-Ward Round Platform represents the next step in our mission to make quality healthcare more accessible across Africa.” The E-Ward Round Platform connects directly with multiple medical devices, allowing remote specialists to access real-time patient information, including vital signs, diagnostic data and digital health records, while working alongside local doctors and nurses during virtual bedside rounds. To improve clinical efficiency during busy ward rounds, the platform uses an AI-powered triage model that continuously analyzes live patient data and helps doctors prioritize cases requiring urgent attention. The system was also designed with strong data privacy and security measures. Through a zero-knowledge architecture, each inpatient bed is assigned a dynamic cryptographic token, allowing clinical data to be processed securely without exposing patient identities. Personal information remains protected and is only accessed by authorized clinicians when required during patient management. The platform’s key features include AI-powered dynamic triage, which continuously analyzes patient data and vital sign trends to help healthcare providers prioritize patients based on clinical urgency while maintaining privacy controls; bridging the urban-rural healthcare gap by connecting urban-based specialists with rural doctors, nurses and healthcare teams; and unified clinical information access, which lets doctors review live vital signs, diagnostic images and complete digital health records at the same time. Building on Chil Group’s established B2B telemedicine infrastructure, the E-Ward Round Platform represents an expansion from outpatient digital healthcare services into inpatient management. The module is available immediately for deployment across Chil Group’s partner health facilities with inpatient capacity. By combining specialist expertise, artificial intelligence, connected medical devices and secure digital records, Chil Group said it is helping create a future where quality healthcare is not determined by geography.
