Founder Speaks-

"In India there is the additional advantage of using AI techniques to both accelerate telemedicine to patients and to deliver higher domain expertise from hubs to medical professionals in tier 2 cities, etc. This should bring the costs of healthcare delivery down – much needed in a country where there have been historically low levels of investment in infrastructure."
