EpiCare empowers Community Health Officers and ASHA workers with structured digital workflows, clinical algorithms, and real-time M&E — bringing epilepsy care from tertiary hospitals to the last mile.
From Patient List to Clinical Record in 8 Minutes
CHO opens patient worklist
Operationalizes India's NHM task-shifting policy into a digital reality.
Filtered by due date & facility
Structured teleconsult
Guided forms ensure every critical clinical marker is captured every time.
Weight, seizures, adherence, BP all recorded
Dashboard updates live
PHC-level data surfaces immediately for Medical Officer review.
MO sees results in real-time. No paper trail.
"Epilepsy demands chronic, uninterrupted adherence. Missing even one dose can trigger a seizure. Rural patients navigate a broken system — no tracking, no follow-up, no continuity. EpiCare was built to fix that."
Built for the Last Mile
Every feature designed around the constraints and realities of rural primary care.
Structured Care Without Specialists
Operationalizes India's NHM task-shifting policy into a digital reality. CHOs work from guided, pre-filtered patient lists — no decision fatigue, no missed follow-ups.
- Role-based login: CHOs see only their assigned patients
- Dynamic follow-up queue filtered by due date and facility
- "Start" button opens a structured telephonic consultation form
- Completed visits update the program dashboard in real time
Weight-Aware Dose Adequacy
No guesswork for the CHO. The system calculates and displays colour-coded dose adequacy as soon as weight is entered.
- Auto-generated dosage suggestions on weight entry
- BP-abnormality detection triggers drug escalation
- Drug–drug interaction safety alerts
- NDDI-E screening at 6-mo and 1-year milestones
Live Visibility Across Facilities
Program managers see real-time performance across every PHC, every CHO, and every patient cohort — without waiting for monthly reports.
- Follow-up completion rate by PHC and by CHO
- Medication adherence trends across the cohort
- Seizure control rates and adverse effect surveillance
- Referral pathway tracking: CHO → MO escalations
Built for 2G and Beyond
A Progressive Web App that installs without an app store and works with no internet — syncing automatically when connectivity returns.
- Works offline, syncs on reconnect — no data loss
- Installable PWA: no app store required
- 9 regional languages: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, etc.
- Optimised for 2G/3G rural networks
What Changes When EpiCare Is in the Room
| Feature | Without EpiCare | With EpiCare |
|---|---|---|
| Patient tracking | Paper registers, often lost | Digital, searchable, PHC-level |
| Follow-up reminders | None | Automated push notifications |
| Dose adequacy | Pharmacist guesswork | Weight-based algorithm |
| Treatment adherence | ~40% (estimated) | 87.8% (measured) |
| Supply gap detection | Discovered at seizure | Flagged on next due date |
| Program visibility | Monthly paper reports | Live M&E dashboard |
| Specialist access | Only at district hospital | CHO → MO digital referral |
| Data for research | None | Structured, exportable |
What the Data Shows
Results from the EpiCare pilot program, validated across CHO and patient cohorts.
"66% of patients were untreated or had abandoned care before EpiCare."
"Supply chain gaps — not patient behaviour — were the primary cause of treatment dropout."
"CHO usability score: 4.29 / 5 in structured satisfaction surveys."
Every Number Is Real
Collected from actual pilot data. No projections, no estimates.
Evidence Extraction at Scale
EpiCare is evolving. We are operationalizing an AI pipeline that transforms unstructured clinical consultations into verifiable medical evidence.
Record
Browser-based audio recorder captures the clinical consultation in real time. No additional hardware required.
Transcribe
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) converts the audio stream to raw text with speaker diarization.
Anonymise
Patient identifiers are stripped from the transcript before any AI model sees the data — privacy by design.
Extract
A clinical NLP layer pulls structured evidence: symptoms reported, medications mentioned, seizure frequency disclosed.
Analyse
Discordance is flagged: symptoms inconsistent with the prescribed treatment plan are surfaced for the reviewing clinician.
Expert Review
Low-confidence cases are queued for specialist validation, feeding an active-learning loop to improve the model continuously.
Clinical Decision Support
At the Point of Care
The EpiCare interface is designed for extreme data density and clinical precision. Community Health Officers (CHOs) receive instant algorithmic guidance during every consultation.
Dose Adequacy Engine
Automatic mg/kg validation ensures patients aren't on sub-therapeutic dosages.
Visual Safety Alerts
Instant colour-coded feedback helps CHOs identify toxicity risks and treatment failures.
Task-Shifted Workflows
Standardized protocols allow lower-level health workers to safely manage complex cases.
