TOKYO -- Japanese medical equipment maker Omron will roll out a telemedicine service in India, initially targeting the country's estimated 300 million people with high blood pressure.

Members paying about 1,000 rupees ($13.50) a month will input daily data into an app from Bangalore-based Terrals Technologies, which recently took on Omron as an investor. The ability to see clinicians from home will broaden patient access to medicine in underserved areas.
