Phloton is making a real splash in healthcare by completely changing how we handle temperature control. Read on to know more about it.
In fact, according to the World Health Organisation over 50% of vaccines go waste even before reaching the doctors and patients. Many also lose their efficacy by the time they are administered due to a lack of quality supply chain and logistics management. This further leads to 25 million children remaining unvaccinated worldwide. In India too the situation is similar with more than 25% of vaccines losing potency and going to waste.
Over the past few years, temperature management moved from a pure focus on refrigeration to recording and monitoring temperatures in real-time, tracking data, and providing alerts as soon as these begin to fluctuate. Cold chain logistics the physical movement of products and goods that require specific temperatures for preservation has become highly complex and highly technical regarding the use of technology to maintain product quality throughout the chain of supply.
This is where Phloton comes into the picture. Phloton is the flagship health tech initiative of Enhanced Innovations PVT. Ltd, a Bangalore-based rapidly growing technology and innovation company with a keen focus on developing socially relevant product-based solutions. Phloton has been built as a pioneer in improving last-mile healthcare delivery (especially immunization and diagnostics for maternal and child health) through safe and traceable vaccine delivery and diagnostic services. Phloton’s USP lies in its specialised cooling technology and other distinguished features like constant temperature monitoring, location tracking and a state-of-charge indication offer unparalleled control and reliability in managing the transportation of sensitive medical supplies.
Through the sophisticated application of technology, our products include state-of-the-art refrigeration systems, advanced temperature monitoring devices, and insulated packaging materials. One of Phloton’s key innovations is its real-time monitoring system, which allows healthcare providers to track the temperature of products during transportation and storage. This system is equipped with sensors that transmit data to a centralized platform, enabling users to monitor conditions in real-time and receive alerts if temperatures deviate from the desired range.
Also, we have made sustainability one of the key aspects of Phloton’s solutions. The integration of solar energy within our refrigeration systems ensures a greener and off-grid operation, contributing to the sustainability of the devices, and more safety for the products. This is important particularly in today’s world where more and more pressure is being applied to industries including the healthcare industry for their environmental impacts.
