UCOP3200 2024/2025 - Telemedicine Implementation for Tea Plantation Communities, Sri Lanka

Two Leaves Trust is embarking on a new initiative to provide healthcare access for the tea plantation community through the implementation of a telemedicine service.  

The current healthcare system in the region faces significant challenges, including limited accessibility due to remote locations and mountainous terrain, transportation difficulties with poor pavement, long waiting times at hospitals, and a lack of personalized care resulting from overwhelming patient numbers. In response, this project aims to introduce a tele-medicine practise/workflow to bridge these gaps and bring quality healthcare directly to the local community. Our student would focus on implementing telemedicine in local setting with limited resources and youth education with Winrose International Campus in support for telemedicine delivery.
