GO REALISM PVT. LTD.
Company overview
We are a hospital namely “ RIDDHIVINAYAK MULTISPECIALITY HOSPITAL (RVMH)” on Plot No 302, Yashwant Gaurav Road, Behind Railway Carshed, Nallasopara (west), Dist. Palghar 401203, Maharashtra State. We are a 200 bedded hospital with 4 lacs sq feet of construction and 5 acres of land, having all the tertiary care services of all major medical specialties. Since the director of the Hospital Dr. Venkat Goyal, is a cardiologist himself, there was an atmosphere of ever increasing interest and pursuit to perfection in Cardiological sciences.
Since the beginning of 21st century there was a growing population of heart failure all over the globe. These were very sick people who required repeated hospitalization. They have a damaged heart and / or lungs who cannot support blood circulation and oxygenation inside the body, so, they required medicines and mechanical support by machines to bailout.
This mechanical support to a failing heart comes under the preview of MCS (Mechanical circulatory support). This machine or in common language “the blood pump” can be intracorporeal (inside the Body) or extracorporeal (outside the body – ECLS : Extracorporeal life support) Under this ECLS science, one of the extracorporeal mechanical support system is called the ECMO (Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation). In common mans understanding this is similar to a Dialysis machine which
The conventional treatment of heart attack i.e blood thinners, coronary angiography and angioplasty or CABG (coronary artery bypass surgery) ends when heart is too weak to revive, and there is where the journey of MCS and organ(heart) transplant starts.
We, at RVMH, having around 25 years of experience in interventional cardiology (angioplasty and bypass surgery) and around 2 decades of experience in MCS. We are pioneers in the country to start ECMO technology since 2006, and start an educational mission of training, promoting and education our fellowmen in ECMO technologies by forming a ECMO Society of India – (ESOI) in 2010.
We are a clinical entity with the use of these equipment for more than 20 years. ECMO science is a very important tool to save lives in case of sudden damage to heart and/ or lungs. But it is very costly (ranging between 15 lacs to 50 lacs of rupees per case) because the entire setup including machines and consumables are imported. So, 9/10 patients needing this support cannot be offered this treatment because of the exuberant cost in Dollar Price.
We are now venturing into indigenous manufacturing this set up in our own country. Over 30 years of clinical practice, now, we have the skills, the experience, the technical details and the wisdom of the positive and negative effects of the device.
Driven by our passion and getting a hope from the Start up Schemes under Atma nirbhar Bharat about the free start up funding and DPIIT Loan schemes we are applying for the financial support of this project.
Core value (Vision & Mission)
-
Vision: "Describe your big dreams for the future of your company and the positive changes you want to bring about."
Our Vision is to develop a novel technology of mechanical support to dysfunctional human organs which is yet to evolve in our country. We want to excel into all aspects of ECLS technology (Extracorporeal life support) for refractory failure of various human body organs including heart, lungs, kidneys and liver. Also, inputs for improving the existing designs which will make the product more competent and user friendly and multifunctional
-
Mission: "Sum up what your company stands for and how it aims to help people or society."
GO Realism - The company stands for service to mankind in a manner that is economical and competent to deliver state of the art technology to our masses. We want to bring in all our experience and target to make the cost viable for the economy of our society.
Problem & Solution
Problem:
-
Material availability, bio compatibility and its biochemical and physical testing is a major problem in our country.
-
Engineering houses and 3D printing and testing labs to make prototypes are not easily available
-
Getting material from raw elements to unit structures in the model is another uphill task.
-
Show impact with statistics: Studies reveal that 80% of businesses report wasted time on non-essential tasks, resulting in a 25% loss in overall productivity.
Solution:
-
The economy will be effective only and only if the entire processing is done within one umbrella. Right from raw material to processing them into making a basic structural units to assembly to design modification will make it a product of choice.
-
Highlight the superiority of the solution: Our app provides a user-friendly interface and customizable features, surpassing traditional methods like paper planners. Currently in the validation stage.
Unique selling points
-
Economy: The necessity of this ECMO circuit is that the existing imported goods are very costly and the availability of the products is also erratic. Thus, more than 90 % of our population and similar serious patients cannot afford this costly treatment. For every life is precious, and due to lack of resources, they should not be allowed to succumb. SO, if we have an Indian product the cost will definitely be ¼ of the existing market goods
-
Combination of two components into one will improve ergonomics and cost.
-
Innovation: New ideas to modify design is a possibility as we have resources to put thoughts into action.
-
Detail technology overview (given in the powerpoint presentation)
-
Any Patents/IP you have – NO, BUT WILL BE APPLYING SHORTLY AFTER WE VALIDATE THE CANNULA
Go to market strategy
-
We are into education, promotion and training of ECMO science on a nonprofitable basis since 2010 under the auspices of ECMO SOCIETY OF INDIA. We have trained more than 1000 highly skilled professionals from nearly 70 corporate hospitals across 20 states in the country. We run the ECMO fellowship courses and certification programs for doctors and paramedics. We have our Journal as Indian Journal of ECMO (IJE) and we are shortly planning to start an Indian College of ECMO. Thus, we have a word in the field to ECMO in India and people do listen to us.
-
Highlight the uniqueness of your strategy when compared to your competitors: We have a student teacher relationship for most of the ECMO doers in the country. And we have already announced about our efforts for making ECMO circuit in India, so people are eagerly waiting for us to come up with a made in India product which is economical, easily available and had added features apart being multifunctional.
