SWOT Analysis
• Strengths
1. Cost
2. Good quality service to people at even remote
villages
3. System is upgradeable and almost
maintenance free
4. Interoperability is feasible and scaling is
possible due to the atomic structure
• Weaknesses (and their remedies)
1. The system at present will not be able to treat
complex cases.
2. We are going to depend on an external
network (internet) which is not fully reliable.
3. The use of ‘sense of touch and feel’ is very
important for both doctors and patients and
will be lacking in telemedicine.

pportunities
1. Leveraging existing network at low costs to provide a
diversified service and integrating add on benefits.
2. The whole system is very easy to operate once it is
established
3. Pooling of medical expertise for service and growth
4. Link up with foreign hospitals
