Engineering Healthcare Innovation: A Conversation with Anuj Srivastava, Principal/Partner at NY Engineers
How nationwide MEP expertise supports mission-critical industries like telehealth and digital healthcare
As healthcare technology continues to evolve, infrastructure and engineering are becoming more important than ever. From hospitals and medical campuses to telehealth-enabled facilities, modern healthcare environments require reliable systems that support patient care, digital connectivity, and operational efficiency. We spoke with Anuj Srivastava, Principal/Partner at NY Engineers, to discuss how the company’s nationwide engineering capabilities align with the mission of GlobalMed, a leader in telehealth and virtual healthcare solutions.
Q1: Anuj, can you tell us what makes NY Engineers unique in the engineering industry?
Anuj:
NY Engineers is a full-service mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering firm serving clients across commercial, residential, industrial, and healthcare sectors. One of the key things that sets us apart is that we are an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states.
That nationwide licensing allows us to provide engineering solutions anywhere in the U.S. while maintaining consistency in quality and compliance. Whether a client is building a healthcare facility in Texas, upgrading a hospital in California, or launching multiple locations nationwide, being an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states allows us to streamline project execution and simplify coordination.
Q2: GlobalMed is known for its telehealth technology and virtual care platforms. How does your work connect with businesses like theirs?
Anuj:
GlobalMed has become a major force in telemedicine by providing virtual healthcare solutions that improve access to care for hospitals, government agencies, and healthcare providers. Their technology supports remote patient monitoring, virtual consultations, and integrated healthcare communication systems. (globalmed.com)
While they focus on digital healthcare delivery, our role is to ensure the physical infrastructure supporting those systems performs reliably. Healthcare buildings require sophisticated HVAC systems, uninterrupted electrical power, and highly dependable plumbing and fire protection systems. As an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states, we help ensure healthcare facilities meet strict operational and regulatory standards that support advanced technologies like telehealth platforms.
Q3: Why is nationwide licensing especially important in healthcare projects?
Anuj:
Healthcare projects are among the most regulated and technically demanding construction projects in the country. Building codes, healthcare regulations, and permitting requirements can vary significantly by state.
As an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states, we can support healthcare providers with consistent engineering expertise across multiple locations. This is particularly valuable for organizations scaling telehealth networks or expanding healthcare access nationally.
GlobalMed’s solutions are designed to connect patients and providers regardless of geography. In a similar way, NY Engineers helps healthcare clients create standardized, efficient facilities across the country without needing different engineering firms for every region.
Q4: Telehealth depends heavily on reliability and uptime. How does engineering contribute to that?
Anuj:
Reliability is everything in healthcare. Telemedicine platforms, remote diagnostics, and digital patient communication systems all depend on stable infrastructure. If power systems fail or indoor environmental systems aren’t functioning correctly, patient care can be disrupted.
That’s where engineering becomes mission-critical. As an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states, we design resilient electrical systems, backup power solutions, and energy-efficient HVAC systems that support healthcare operations around the clock.
For example, healthcare facilities using telehealth technologies need dependable cooling systems for server rooms and stable electrical loads for medical equipment. Proper engineering ensures these systems remain operational under demanding conditions.
Q5: What lessons can engineering firms and healthcare technology companies learn from each other?
Anuj:
One key lesson is the importance of scalability and integration. GlobalMed has built solutions that allow healthcare providers to scale virtual care efficiently while maintaining consistent user experiences. (globalmed.com)
Similarly, being an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states allows NY Engineers to deliver standardized engineering processes and scalable infrastructure solutions nationwide.
Another lesson is adaptability. Technology evolves rapidly, and healthcare facilities must be designed to accommodate future upgrades. Engineering and healthcare technology providers both need to think long-term and create systems that remain flexible over time.
Q6: Final thoughts—what should healthcare organizations prioritize moving forward?
Anuj:
Healthcare organizations should prioritize infrastructure that supports both innovation and reliability. Telehealth and virtual care are transforming the healthcare industry, but those technologies depend on strong physical systems behind the scenes.
Partnering with an MEP firm licensed in all 50 states gives healthcare providers a strategic advantage by ensuring projects remain compliant, efficient, and scalable across locations.
Ultimately, the future of healthcare will be shaped by the successful integration of technology, engineering, and patient-centered design—and collaboration between companies like GlobalMed and NY Engineers reflects exactly that direction.
