Founder Speaks-

"These are super exciting times for innovation in health tech, sadly triggered by the pandemic. The baseline expectation of how healthcare should be delivered has also moved up.

Whether it is the option to order medicines online, talking to a doctor on a video call or how companies and governments assimilate medical data for public health management systems--technology is pushing products that respond to users’ need for convenient and high-quality healthcare.

While there are these innovations, there is massive room for improvement too. Primary care is still fragmented with a patient visiting a general physician to specialists in different facilities or different parts of a country with no effective movement of diagnostic information. This can result in someone getting piecemeal care at each point.

There are also high levels of uncertainty around treatment expenses (such as for COVID-19) which means healthcare providers cannot accurately predict spending. This results in healthcare services being priced arbitrarily and with an incentive to deliver excessive care."
