We have demonstrated that this problem can be solved effectively at scale with digital solutions, connected care ecosystem, IOT devices, and data”, said, Sumit Sinha, Co-founder, PhableCare.

“Our focus over the next two years would be to take the technology to 30 million+ Indian households and 100,000+ super-specialist doctors in India and capture 25 percent of the market. In addition, we will continue to build technology to integrate the healthcare system and players even further”, said, Mukesh Bansal, Co-founder at PhableCare.

The startup claims to have created an ecosystem of care providers, hospitals, medical device manufacturers, health and wellness product manufacturers, pharmacy retailers and insurance partners to bring digital healthcare to millions of Indians.

It also helps doctors to expand their practice beyond geographic boundaries and build better relationships with patients.

“We are delighted to partner with Sumit and Mukesh in their mission to revolutionise chronic disease management. Their experience and deep insights into the market, coupled with their entrepreneurial experience, reinforce our confidence in their ability to disrupt digital health in India”, said, Vani Kola, Managing Director, Kalaari Capital.

The healthtech startup also claims that it currently has over three million patients and over 10,000 doctors and 1000+ pharmacists using its technology, making it the market leader in this segment.
