The portable medical equipment The doctors and specialists in these hospitals will be working as volunteers to provide live online consultation services to the health assistants and community health workers.

eLifeLink provides a number of portable medical equipment that could be used in screening and early identification of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Output from these equipment will be captured into the laptop/tablet via Bluetooth connection which will be shared in real time with doctors in Kathmandu. It will also help to setup link to data centers to verify output, such as from the Eko Duo equipment, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) services. This will be very essential for large health screening. The results will also be captured in some EMR online database system that will be piloted for this project. One such system developed by OpenMRS community is featured in the EMR System under the Resources section of the Menu. Anyone suspected with rheumatic heart disease or irregular heartbeat will be subjected to further echo testing using 12 lead ECG machine.
