Kallo’s Mobile Care: Bringing the Hospital to the Patient
When Kallo executives talk about their proprietary Mobile Care, they are not referring to a type of first-aid clinic erected hastily to fill a temporary gap. They envision nothing short of a revolution in patient care around the world – involving integrated technology, diagnostic equipment and medical specialists, delivered by trailer-truck to the most remote locations. “It’s really a hospital on wheels with the latest in medical diagnostics, safety standards and IT that connects doctors and other healthcare professionals across borders – instantly,” says Kallo’s chairman and CEO John Cecil.
“Our mobile clinics include an aseptic room to do surgery and a command centre that can be linked to a teaching hospital via satellite, so that an on-site specialist can consult with hospital-based specialists. They can both access the same medical images and reports, while the patient can be viewed live for directing mobile staff to perform complex procedures. Rather than bringing the patient to the hospital, we are essentially bringing the hospital to the patient – even in the jungle.”
Toronto-based Kallo, whose founders have been perfecting innovative healthcare products and technology over the past decade, started to generate revenues for their new company this year – for example, they recently launched the official electronic medical records system (EMR) for the Ontario Medical Association’s Pediatric Section.
But its most exciting new prospects lie in the commercialization of its Mobile Care clinics. “We are working on critical negotiations with 26 countries that have shown keen interest in our products and technology for their national healthcare delivery. We also have a purchase order commitment from Ghana,” adds Cecil.
Other key markets for the company are India and Malaysia, along with several in the Middle East and South America. Today, Kallo has eight employees in Canada and the United States and is ramping up to grow this to about 40 in 2013. Kallo is also planning to recruit 30 healthcare and IT professionals internationally, especially in Ghana and the Caribbean. “All our technical development is done in Canada,” adds Cecil.
