The EMR and EHR market in Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold USD 2.5 Billion in
2018 and is expected to reach a market size of USD 3.62 Billion in 2023. The EMR-
EHR system plays a crucial role in the development of modern healthcare structure,
which is posited as efficient and patient-centric. The healthcare technology providers
are also rapidly evolving to balance heightened regulatory requirements, soaring
healthcare costs, and operational efficiency.

Moreover, healthcare providers in APAC are focusing on ways to manage costs by

leveraging existing data to identify population segments that are in severe need of
services to channelize limited resources accordingly. In the future, EMR-HER solution
providers will compete by offering different software packages for developed and
developing nations to ensure high-quality patient care.

Considering the ongoing progress in this sector, we have featured prominent companies
in our latest magazine issue of “The Business APAC Advanced EMR-EHR
Providers of 2019”. These leading EMR-EHR providers are contributing to the
industry through their innovative approach towards eliminating the current and
emerging challenges.

With Cloud-Enabled IT Solutions

T he role and importance of healthcare systems have

the invention of the latest technological
developments, the healthcare industry is catching up with
the other leading industries of the world. Today, healthcare
providers and institutions are shifting from the traditional
system to an automated one so that they can deliver better
care. However, they are facing various challenges, which

Co-founding Pair Uplifting Incarnus towards
Steady Progress
The Co-founders, Seetharam Malur and Prabhakar
Annaswamy established Incarnus Technologies with
a vision to be the preferred solution provider offering
compelling value to healthcare organizations in their
chosen geographies. Together, they look after the steady
growth and empowerment of their team at Incarnus.
Incarnus CEO, Seetharam has 20+ years of experience
in health informatics, besides other technology fields
such as automobile design, aeronautical design &
supply chain management, and education system. Prior
to Incarnus, the competent leader had built IdeaObject
Software Pvt. Ltd, which created a world-class
enterprise healthcare solution that was implemented for
more than 300 sites in 6 countries, before it was acquired
by Telstra Health.
Incarnus CTO, Prabhakar has 18 years of experience in
health informatics, along with the gaming domain
where he started his career with HCL. He is a highly
innovative person, passionate about product
development and enterprise-scale architecture. He also
co-founded IdeaObject Software Pvt. Ltd. While
working in healthcare IT and in product development
for global markets, both Seetharam and Prabhakar
gained valuable expertise and knowledge.

COVER STORY
According to the dynamic duo, they targeted this sector
because they realized that the healthcare IT market
would inevitably grow and expand in the APAC region.
Backed by their experience and background, the Co-
founders decided to venture on their own and build a
product based on the latest technology, cloud-hosted,
addressing the software as a service market. The result
of their efforts, commitment, and passion was the
implementation of their product, Arcus Air.
Setting Apart from Competitors
In the healthcare industry, there are various solutions
available for healthcare organizations to utilize. So,
what makes Incarnus solutions different and unique
from the existing ones? The company adopts a unique
combination of programming languages, tools, and
frameworks, which is based on the cutting-edge
technologies such as cloud. For instance, its Arcus Air
EMR has been designed by clinicians with advanced
features such as CPOE, CDSS, care plan, flow sheets,
cumulative view of charts, reports, timelines, and
electronic medication administration. With extensive
proven experience in international e-Health solutions,
Incarnus’ talented team has delivered innovative
solutions for better patient care over 300+ locations
across 7 countries. This demonstrates how their rapid
implementation methodology has been proven in many
projects with successful outcomes.
Adoption of EMR-EHR Services in the APAC
Region
Incarnus duo, Seetharam and Prabhakar believe that
hospitals and physicians are receptive due to the
smartphone, tablet device penetration. Because of the
increased awareness of diseases among people and the
arrival of mobile platforms, the APAC region is
expected to see the highest growth rate in healthcare
services. The dynamic duo has witnessed that many
countries such as India and Thailand are rapidly
becoming medical tourism hubs that attract patients
from western countries. Therefore, they have
businessapac.com
established their footprint across 6+ countries and
working to expand in other areas.

Moreover, the APAC region’s healthcare practitioners

and hospitals are shifting from the traditional system to
EMR. The EMR provides complete and smooth access
to health records, which eliminates the waiting time for
physical folders and thereby providing physicians with
the consultative moment. This system combined with
CDS ensures a reduction in medical errors, improved
patient safety, and improved quality of care. Hence,
most clinics like JCI and HIMSS EMRAM are eager
on accreditation to set their norms. Therefore, it
becomes an extremely important task to implement
EMR for achieving these accreditations. Incarnus duo
believes that if they had this information before, they
would have achieved a global presence much earlier by
building customer-facing teams at multiple locations
to handle hospitals of this region before.

We are helping our

customers deliver better
quality patient care and
also assisting them to
improve pro tability &
ef ciency.

An Integrated Platform Providing Doctor

Friendly EMR Solutions

T he APAC EMR-EHR market is in the growth phase with

healthcare providers rapidly moving towards digitization. These
healthcare providers are looking for ideal solutions that can
fulfill their requirements. Despite such growth, the industry is facing
various challenges. According to Girish Mohata, the Founder and CEO
of Easy Clinic, few pressing challenges faced by industry players of
EMR- EHR are the lack of standards for clinical data recording and no
initiative from the governments to promote the use of EMR.

In addition, there is also a practical challenge in terms of representing the

differences between a truly enterprise-ready platform vs. a seemingly
functional EMR solution. The well-versed leader believes the market is
packed with EMR solution providers but only few handpicked of them

‘‘ provide an ROI multiple times over the long term. Therefore, Girish
deems Easy Clinic as comprehensive solution that increase the bottom
line of the clinic, both in terms of clinical and financial successes.

Events That Led To Foundation of Easy Clinic

industry because of an eventful incident. This incident took place back in
the year 2000. At that time, he visited a doctor for a nagging cough.

doctors and thereafter also interviewed a few of them. From these visits,
‘‘ he found that data that was meant to be captured was relatively simple,
but due to several regulatory and computing challenges seized the
doctor’s valuable time.

So, the industrious CEO started his journey to create solutions that
simplify clinical data recording, handle complex workflows and offer
deep dive into the data. Thereby, Easy Clinic is built with a mission to
create the most captivating, modern and integrated healthcare software
platform to reform healthcare delivery of the future.

approximately 8 percent. According to Girish, the APAC
EMR-EHR market is divided into two segments. First,

countries and over 1 million patient records every month is
managed by it. “Having said that, we have been lucky to be
experienced in the regulatory requirements of various regions
across the world together with a deep insight into the core
needs of healthcare organizations in those regions,” Easy

Easy &
Healthy Solutions To Cut Down

Healthcare
Expenses
T he health of healthcare has drastically improved in
the past two decades. The improvement brought in
by science and technology is making it easier for
people to get cured much quicker. The global spending on
healthcare is projected to increase by a healthy rate of 5.4%
from 2017 to 2022 and this might take the healthcare
industry which stands 7.724 trillion US dollars to 10.059
trillion US dollars. Though the improvement in medicine
and cure technology is great news, the decrease in people’s
health is still a giant headache. This is purely due to the
lifestyle that we are liv today. The people are less concerned
about their physical and mental wellbeing as they abuse
their body and mind to get what they want to the point that
they breakdown. Though this is good business for the
people engaged in healthcare and medicine sector, in the
long run, it might not be beneficial for the society. The
average spending on healthcare by the family of four was
approximately 28,166 dollars for the year 2018 in the US.
This is quite a big number and estimated to further increase
in the coming years. This is partly due to expensive
healthcare solutions and personal negligence. We do not
have time for ourselves, the speed and the urgency we show
in life give us only pain in the end. Work is important but it
should not cost us our health.

Small steps but big impact
Let’s take a few minutes and breathe in and breathe out and
just relax. The following mentioned steps will help you to
maintain good health.
1. Bring positivity
Sometimes, it is very difficult to think green if we see
red all over the world. The negativity does not only
surround us but haunts us even in our dreams. We might
not change the world but can bring some positive
changes in our thought process to make ourselves feel
good. It might be slow but the impact will be felt in due
course.
2. Eat healthy
There was a great catchphrase by Britannia “Eat Healthy
Think Better”. Our body needs food to derive energy.
But our tongue needs entertainment and we keep falling
in the trap of tasty but highly unhealthy and unhygienic
food. Listen to your body and eat healthy food always. It
will improve the immune system’s capabilities to fight
diseases.
3. Push, Pull, and Stretch
Yes, do exercise for a few minutes daily. Do what your
body and mind can handle. Doing exercise is about
getting your mind ready and sometimes it is difficult to
convince our mind to do something. It gets even more
difficult if an activity involves exercise. Give it a carrot
and make small and slow progress.
4. Goodbye and goodnight
The 21st century is probably the most sleep-deprived
generation in the history of mankind and mankind had
seen a lot that can take away the sleep. At the end of the
day, we have to give our due to our body as it needs rest
after a grueling day of work. So say goodbye to your
phones, tablets, laptops and all your stress and immerse
yourself in a deep sleep. Good sleep not only recharges
body but also energizes the mind.
5. Keep clean and maintain hygiene around
Keep your home and environment clean and
accommodate hygienic habits. It will prevent you from
many contagious diseases like malaria, dengue, and
many more.
6. Regular health checkup
People should have a regular health checkup. It will give
you the right information about your robust outside and
delicate insides. It should be done mainly to find any
September 2019
unnecessary changes in the system that might turn into a
life-threating disease later.
Practices to avoid for the prosper health
By involving positive things in life, we have to get rid of
negative stuff as well.
1. Abuse of the intoxicating substance
Smoking and drinking is a personal choice. But
excessive smoking and drinking damages the body
permanently. If we can avoid it, our health might not
suffer that much.
2. Cut down caffeine
The working-class people consume a ridiculous amount
of caffeine in a day. It might keep you awake and fresh.
However, the aftereffect of extra caffeine in the system is
that it does not allow the body to relax properly.
3. Skipping meals
People skip timely meals due to the pressure of work. It
might work for your job but health will be compromised.
So take food on time and drink enough water to digest it
well. If health is lost money can’t bring it back.
4. Avoid sugar, sodium, and cholesterol
Try to cook food in healthy oil or try to avoid oil
sometimes. Consume less sugar and salt. It will bring
down the possibility of diabetes, high blood pressure,
and heart attacks. These three diseases are the major
concern around the world at this point in time.
5. Stop being your own doctor
If you are not a certified physician, then stop self-
diagnosis and avoid using medical drugs without any
professional consultation. It might feel right at the
moment but in the long run, the consequences can be
grave.
It’s all in our own hand
Like our fate, our health is in our hands too. It is really
unfortunate to see people succumb to diseases before their
time. The above measures and preventions might not cure
all the diseases but it will sure make us strong physically
and mentally. Timely prevention can bring down
unnecessary expenses on healthcare and we could stop a
small itch before it can become an epidemic. As the Arabian
proverb suggests, “He who has health has hope, and he who
has hope has everything”, we need to bring back our good
health to have hope for the future.

Is It Time To Bid Blockchain A Goodbye?
M urmurs are going around on how new
technology is going to take over blockchain's
layers of encryption effortlessly. According to
the study quantum computing may eventually settle the
cryptographic structure of blockchains. However, both
technologies are new and innovative in their features. To
simplify, Blockchain is a platform for performing a
transparent and hassle-free transaction, and quantum
computing is the next-generation computing machine which
will make the work more fast and easy.
Quantum computing: A threat for Blockchain?
Quantum computing includes quantum mechanical theory
to speed up quantum computers ability to solve complex
mathematical equations in a fraction of time which classic
computers would take a lot of time. Classical computers
(regular computers) rely on binary bits that range in one of
two states, 1 and 0, whereas, quantum computers use
quantum bits or qubits. The state of superposition, which is
necessary to perform calculations is hard to achieve and
also difficult to maintain. Physicists use laser and
microwaves to put qubits in the working state and then
make use of an array of techniques to preserve it from
fluctuations. Current quantum computers are not accurately
errored free due to the instability of working conditions
which disintegrates in a process called decoherence before
most operations can be executed.
Quantum computational power is determined by how many
qubits a machine can simultaneously control. Quantum

Rises:
computing makes use of subatomic particles. These
particles will be present in more than one state at one
particular time. This unique feature results in the fast speed
of the machine as compared to that of a regular machine.
They can store a bulk amount of data with lesser
consumption of energy. Quantum processors are million
times faster than the processors we use now. Starting with
just two qubits achieved in the first experiment in the late
1990s, the powerful computer today is operated by Google,
which uses up to 72 qubits.
A mathematical structure designed to secure data through
asymmetric cryptography and the hash function is a
blockchain. If the quantum computing advances then it
would be a threat to blockchain integrity as the quantum
technology in the hands of hackers may primarily target
emerging payment infrastructures including cryptocurrency.
Quantum computers and blockchain
The idea of blockchain's unchangeable nature and
unmatched security is widely accepted. It triggers the
public's trust in digital assets and encourages mass
acceptance. However, the launch of quantum computing
could risk the integrity of public-key cryptography, which is
the backbone of blockchain security.
The range of quantum computers application is vast; the
one most important in the context of blockchain technology
is the capacity to run algorithms much faster than the
existing supercomputers. Among the widely discussed
35 September 2019
 Quantum Buzz
presumed use cases the famous one is Shor's Algorithm for
factor decomposition, which could render many existing
encryption techniques outdated.
More on Shor's Algorithm
Asymmetric cryptography uses multi-digit numbers as
public and private keys and hashes them into a set of
smaller numbers. The proficiency of this system centers on
the fact that the current computer is unable to find the prime
factors of these numbers and crack the algorithm. Shor's
theoretical algorithm is programmed in a way to find prime
factors by reducing the steps it takes, which threatens the
integrity of public and private keys. It is predicted that it
would take a normal computer
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
basic operations to find the private key linked to a public
key while it would take a quantum computer 2,097,152
calculations to crack the private key.
Group of Researchers from the Russian Quantum Center
noted their observation in journal Nature— one possible
risk stems from the fact that blockchain security heavily
depends on one-way mathematical functions (the ones
which are easy to run but challenging to reverse calculate).
These functions are used in generating digital signatures
and validate transactions on the record.
Precautions are better than cure
If a criminal is prepared with a functional quantum device,
he would be able to perform reverse calculations very
faster, which would allow them to forge signatures,
impersonate other users and gain access to digital assets.
The criminal could take over the process of updating the
record and manipulate transaction history.
The researchers advised that the architects of encrypted
systems should start taking precautions against this threat
almost immediately. Replacing conventional digital
signatures with quantum-resistant cryptography is one of
the solutions the researchers suggested. This type of
security measure is specially designed to endure an attack
from a suitably powerful quantum computer. Another
solution, the researches put forth would only be available
with the introduction of a quantum internet, which is yet to
be achieved in future years. This forthcoming wireless
communication architecture, based on a connection
between remote intertwined quantum particles, will unlock
a wealth of new blockchain models and designs.

Blockchain combined with quantum computing
The researchers Del Rajan and Matt Viser from the Victoria
University in New Zealand came up with an idea to
combine quantum computing with blockchain. They
suggested preceding the use of quantum cryptography and
leap straight to making blockchain a quantum-based system
itself. Their model showcases a blockchain-based on qubits
intertwined not just in space but also in real-time. The
attempt to altogether alter the record of transactions,
encoded by the history of a single particle's states over time,
would be impossible without destroying the particle
completely. However, manufacturing this model is
impossible until the quantum internet is introduced.
The solutions provided may be decades away, but a lot of
development in quantum computing and quantum
cryptography is happening right now. The views of the
experts differed on quantum computing being an immediate
threat to the blockchain.
Blockchain community still have time to upgrade their
system which is free from an attack from quantum
computing. The company is working on a private key. The
key generation process is very complicated and makes use
of complex equations. The other solution is to introduce
Private Blockchain. Private Blockchain requires permission
to join the network. The user must be invited to participate
and validate by the network. This will make the system
fool-proof and free from the attack of hackers.
To conclude, these are just the glimpse of both Blockchain
and quantum computing. According to experts, it may take
about five to ten years before quantum computers become a
threat to the blockchain. Other research predicts that it will
take 10,000 qubits to run Shor's Algorithm. Leading
companies like Microsoft, IBM and Google are racing to
achieve the 50 qubit computing capabilities. The most
powerful quantum computer currently is Canadin Firm;
DWave's quantum computer packs 512 qubits of quantum
computing but has a high rate of errors. It will take 20-30
years for quantum computing to achieve 4,000 qubits, with
a long way to go to achieve 10,000 qubits. We still have to
wait for quantum computers to be there up and operating.
Similarly, the developers need to work on Blockchain to
make it safer and away from hackers. Rather than debating
who's best, we must appreciate the updating systems and
take advantage of them.
