Health Philosophy
Risk Stratification + Early Detection = Prevention
Qavach® focuses not just on the presence of diseases, disorders and conditions; but also tries to assess risk wherever possible. Stratification of children based on various health-risks as well as early detection are crucial for implementing preventive strategies.
Comprehensive and Holistic
Since a child’s health can be influenced by several factors like genetics, nutrition, environment, habits, etc., Qavach® attempts to build a 360° view of the child. Being cognizant of the inter-linkages between various specialties, can help clinicians make the best decisions for the child.
Periodic and Longitudinal
Periodic screening will be able to facilitate early detection and only longitudinal assessments will be able to provide insights on progression. Together, the insights can form the basis for any preventive strategy.
Age-relevance
Qavach® is cognizant that manifestation of diseases, disorders and conditions can be age-specific; and in many cases only a limited window of time may be available for effective intervention.
Diagnostics vs. Diagnosis
The screening becomes more objective and consistent when it is based on reliable diagnostics.
However, we intend to keep Qavach® within the realm of screening and not tread into diagnosis.
POV of Specialists
Specialists are typically not available in primary care settings, and yet their point-of-view can be crucially important for better decision-making. Qavach® handles this innovatively and effectively.
