Kochi,
January 21, 2015: helloDOC, India’s first primary and preventive healthcare
centre, was inaugurated in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi by the celebrity couple Rima
Kallingal and Aashiq Abu today. A membership-based lifestyle joint to promote
healthy living, helloDOC offers both allopathic and ayurvedic doctors’ care,
visiting specialists, doctors on call, periodical check-up, diet clinic, counseling,
electronic health records, health store, organic bar and yoga studio among
others, all under one roof in a friendly atmosphere, with an amazing ambience
and a royal service to match. Dr. Jase John, Director, helloDOC and an allopathic
doctor said helloDOC is on a mission to revolutionize the healthcare model with
patient-centric care imbibing best of both the worlds. “We are the first of its
kind lifestyle ecosystem blending both the Western and Eastern medical
practices keeping in mind the sagely principle of Hippocrates, the father of
modern medicine, that is “Treat often, comfort always”. So, what we would like
to mostly prescribe are healthy meals based on our in-house dietitian’s recipes,”
he said.
helloDOC is
a membership based family lifestyle clinic offers three types of memberships
namely Select, Essential and Essential Plus. All types of memberships come with
any number of consultations with the allopathic and ayurvedic doctors, routine
periodical check ups, visiting specialists consultations on referral, up to 40%
discounts on medicines, digital health records, e-mail correspondence with the
doctors, half yearly reviews and graphical representation for easy
understanding.
Recommended
for patrons up to the age of 30, Select includes a select number of tests and
services, carefully picked to ensure the best overall health and quality of
life to the low-risk demographics while
Essential
also includes a select number of tests and services packaged to suit the
quality of life to the mid-risk demographics, aged between 30 and 45. Recommended
for patrons above 45 with lifestyle diseases or who are smokers, Essential Plus
offers, in addition to the tests and consultations, any number of visits for
the dietician’s consultation, dental consultation and tooth cleaning and free
and periodic doctor’s call on request.
Dr. Varun
Nishanth, Medical Director, helloDOC said the concept is the outcome of World
Health Organization’s call for a strong
primary and preventive healthcare in Kerala followed by a recent study among
the 15-65 age group in the state. He also highlighted a report in the Indian
Journal of Medical Research in its May 2013 issue which projected Kerala as the
diabetic capital of India while adding the fact that heart disease-related
deaths occur here as twice that of the USA. “Our health and longevity indices
are world-acclaimed but we are sitting on a time bomb. If we do not act now,
it’s going to be a now or never situation,” Dr. Varun Nishanth said.
Considering these,
helloDOC is positioned as a completely feel-good center with a full scale
medicinal garden setup for the use of members under the guidance of the reputed
herbalists; an organic health products’ store stocking from the most basics
like rock salt to the most complex of ingredients; and an
Organic bar to
serve healthy meals exclusively for the members.
“Once we
establish soon in Kochi, we would be expanding to more locations so that we can
open the helloDOC quality of primary and preventive healthcare to more people,”
Dr. Jase John said.
