Glocal Healthcare, a social enterprise based in Kolkata unveiled its first commercial product, LitmusDx, in a first-of-its-kind medical quiz contest at Calcutta National Medical College. The product is a cloud-based software solution that aims to provide an integrated clinical decision support and electronic medical record solution for private practitioners and small medical practices. The competition, aptly named Litmus Test, was designed to test the clinical diagnostic skills of participants and attracted medical students from various institutions across the city. In addition to a stiff contest between the six finalists, audience members and participants witnessed a very innovative use of LitmusDx, wherein contestants could utilise the clinical decision support system (LitmusDx) as a lifeline to answer the more challenging questions. Dr Jimmy Barua from Calcutta National Medical College put the available resources to good use to bag the first prize and walked away with the prize money of Rs 50,000. After the initial success in Kolkata, Glocal Healthcare next plans to take this contest to different parts of the country. Future events are being planned in Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai and Trivandrum.
