Intelligent General Practitioner (iGP), an AI-powered, Community Health Workers (CHWs) anchored, People-Centered Intelligent General Practitioner (iGP) Model towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC)

To address existing health challenges, Intelligent General Practitioner (iGP) model, an AI-powered, patient-centered, Community Health Workers (CHWs) driven model with an integrated GP Center in the community, designed to deliver comprehensive preventive and primary healthcare including referral and follow-up at people’s doorsteps, for enhancing well-being, productivity & happiness.

iGP model creates a digital health account for every citizen & ensures periodic health education, check-up for early identification & timely intervention of health issues, transforming sick-care into proactive, promotive and preventive care for reducing catastrophic health expenditure to alleviate poverty. CHWs, empowered & equipped with an AI-driven clinical decision support system with Internet of Things (IoT) based Point-of-Care-Diagnostic (POCD) devices, visit households in the communities to deliver health education, conduct periodic screenings, risk assessment, triage, and provide referrals with follow-ups. This ensures every family member (newborn, children, adolescents, adults, pregnant women & elderly) receives personalized preventive and primary healthcare with proactive management. This innovative AI-powered approach ensures one CHWs address the diverse health needs of every household in the community and empower them to achieve a one-size-fits-all solution as well as mitigate the acute shortage of providers. When necessary, patients are connected to 24/7 audio or video teleconsultation services for immediate management of health concerns. The model also integrates a physical clinic within the community staffed with General Practitioner (GP), Nurse, Paramedic, Midwives and other support staff with necessary medical equipment to deliver comprehensive primary healthcare aligned with Essential Service Package (ESP) and emphasis on NCDs, Maternal Health Services, and Normal Deliveries. The physical clinic ensures quality GP consultations (~10 Minutes) with empathy and other preventive and primary care services. This AI-integrated solution is able to manage up to 90% of health issues within the catchment area (Union or Ward). When higher-level care is required, iGP facilitates timely referrals and connects users to the right resources at secondary or tertiary facilities within the hospital. The model aims to establish digital health ecosystem for ensuring continuity of care by regular health monitoring, proactive management with follow-ups, boosting health awareness & user confidence, and promoting better health and wellbeing. It also tracks the satisfaction of the beneficiaries and the providers. By adaptation of AI, community outreach, and an integrated digital healthcare platform, iGP delivers equitable, accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare for all towards achieving UHC.
