Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital: Delivering advanced eye care
Overview
Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, a group of 70 eye care centers across India and Africa, uses the latest medical advancements in high-quality eye care but found that aging IT systems weren’t keeping pace with medical skills. By replacing outdated PCs with Nexian CB-116 and Acer C730 Chromebooks, Asus Chromeboxes, and LG Chromebases—as well as adopting Google Workspace—the hospital chain reduced trouble tickets and improved patient data systems.

Matching Modern Devices to Modern Medicine
By replacing outdated PCs and costly Windows licenses with Chrome devices combined with Chrome Enterprise Upgrade and Google Workspace, Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital IT staff spend less time on admin tasks and more time on patient-focused projects—such as improving microscope maintenance.
Doctors use Chrome devices with 22-inch screens, which help them easily read diagnostic records and update patient files—transforming records from paper to digital storage. Sales and corporate staff use Chromebooks while traveling; front-desk teams use Asus Chromeboxes and Chromebases to manage billing. With Google Workspace tools like Google Drive and Google Sheets, admin staff can share billing data and store eye-imaging files.
When we added Chromebases to doctors’ examination rooms, they reduced the time needed to record patient notes by half. That gives doctors more time to consult with patients instead of taking notes.
