Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited, a Hyderabad-headquartered AI-first technology company, announced a technology association with the Mahesh Babu Foundation, founded by Superstar Mahesh Babu and led by Namrata Shirodkar Ghattamaneni. The association brings Blue Cloud's AI and digital health capabilities to the Foundation's work in healthcare, education, women's empowerment, HPV vaccination and rural transformation.
The first initiative under the association is GMB Life, a preventive screening and wellness application launched on the Apple App Store and Google Play, on the occasion of Gautam Ghattamaneni's birthday.
In the next phase, Blue Cloud and the Foundation plan to establish BluHealth-enabled healthcare kiosks at selected locations, beginning where the Foundation already conducts health camps. Each kiosk will offer a contactless wellness scan in about a minute, with local doctors on site or by tele-consultation to review results, guide users and refer them to Foundation-supported hospitals where needed. Screening records will link to the user's GMB Life profile so the Foundation can track follow-up and direct camps where need is greatest. Locations and timelines will be announced in due course.
Mahesh Babu, founder, Mahesh Babu Foundation, said: "The Foundation began with a simple thought: that no parent should lose a child because they could not afford a doctor. GMB Life takes that intent further. With Blue Cloud's BluHealth technology, anyone with a smartphone can complete a short, contactless scan and receive indicative readings for heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, stress and cardiac workload in under a minute, without a needle or device. For a family with no clinic nearby, that is the difference between finding out early and finding out too late. With the healthcare kiosks we plan to open with local doctors, a warning sign on the app will have somewhere to go. I am happy that this begins on Gautam's birthday."
Namrata Shirodkar Ghattamaneni, Mahesh Babu Foundation, said: "Every health camp we conduct shows us the same thing: awareness reaches people late, and care reaches them later. GMB Life lets us stay in touch with communities between camps, screen far more people than we can meet in person, and follow up with those who need help. What convinced us was the seriousness of the technology: BluHealth is US FDA registered and endorsed by the Indian Medical Association and the Commonwealth Medical Association, and it is designed to work alongside a doctor, not instead of one. "
Tejesh Kumar Kodali, group chairman, Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited, said: "It is a privilege for Blue Cloud to stand alongside Mahesh Babu garu and Namrata garu in a mission that has given so many children a second chance at life. GMB Life places the intelligence we have built into BluHealth in the hands of every family with a smartphone. The kiosks with local doctors are the next step, so that a screening on the app leads directly to a consultation in the community. Our ambition is simple: no child or parent in a village the Foundation touches should go unscreened for want of a doctor nearby."
Rajesh Suryadevara, chief information officer and head of BluHealth, Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited, said: "BluHealth was built for exactly this: preventive, non-invasive, anywhere. The kiosk programme closes the loop, connecting AI-based screening with a local doctor who knows the community and can act on the results."
