MillionICU, an initiative by Bengaluru-based startup Dozee, India’s first AI-based contactless Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) & Early Warning System (EWS), has partnered with British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution (DFI) and impact investor, to upgrade 6000 hospital beds in ~140 public hospitals across India and in other regions to transform the public healthcare landscape. 

The goal of Dozee’s partnership with BII is to improve access to healthcare across India and alleviate the workload of healthcare workers, reduce nurse burnout and fatigue in hospital wards. Dozee’s pioneering contactless remote patient monitoring and Early Warning System (EWS) in India saves around 2.5 hours of nursing time per patient per day. 

Backed by BII’s capital, Dozee will upgrade regular beds to step-down ICUs through the MillionICU initiative – established by Dozee in 2021 to install one million step-down ICU beds across India - and bring about a rapid, long-term transformation in India’s public healthcare infrastructure. The MillionICU initiative has already benefited 46 such hospitals across 15+ districts with more than 10,000+ patients being monitored and having saved 25,000+ nursing hours.
