A private hospital in Delhi has collaborated with DrRing to introduce India’s first hospital-integrated wearable emergency response device directly linked to a hospital emergency department.
The integrated Emergency Response Services (ERS) ecosystem aims to enhance emergency preparedness, remote monitoring, and rapid medical response, particularly for senior citizens, post-operative patients, vulnerable individuals, and those requiring continuous medical supervision.
Developed to address concerns about delayed emergency support in India, the system allows users to connect instantly to the ISIC medical team and emergency support network via a single SOS activation during critical situations.
In emergencies such as chest discomfort, panic attacks, falls, breathing difficulties, or sudden medical distress, users can activate the SOS feature to contact the ISIC duty doctor for immediate guidance and swift response. The system can also summon ambulance support, notify emergency contacts, and escalate cases if users cannot respond.
To promote faster action during genuine emergencies, the ecosystem includes regular preparedness drills that familiarise users with the SOS activation process during panic situations. Prior to the official launch, the hospital conducted a pre-trial phase with select families and users from nearby residential areas and schools to assess practical usability, response accuracy, and real-time effectiveness.
Dr Ashish Chandra, Chief Operating Officer of ISIC Multispeciality Hospital, said, “Healthcare today must extend beyond hospital walls. Through this collaboration with DrRing, we aim to create a connected healthcare ecosystem focused on preparedness, prevention, and timely medical intervention. The initiative further strengthens ISIC’s focus on technology-driven preventive healthcare by enabling wearable-based data tracking, personalised health trend monitoring, direct doctor connectivity, geofencing support, WhatsApp integration, and access to a wider emergency response network. In many emergency situations, the first few minutes are extremely critical, and through this initiative, we want patients and families to feel supported, connected, and medically guided whenever they need help.”
Dr Shiv Kumar, Chief Operating Officer of DrRing, said, “DrRing was created to simplify emergency response and make immediate medical assistance more accessible during critical situations. Many emergencies become severe because people are unable to seek help quickly during panic situations. Our collaboration with ISIC further strengthens this vision through hospital-integrated emergency preparedness and continuous support, especially for senior citizens and vulnerable individuals living independently.”
The launch event included a live demonstration of the SOS emergency response system, illustrating how the platform facilitates rapid communication, emergency escalation, and coordinated medical responses during real-life emergency scenarios.
