Integrating homecare and healthcare is the new opportunity for healthcare aggregator companies. Hyderabad-based Click2Clinic Healthcare India has launched Clinicopedia, a health app that enables connected home healthcare services, bringing the doctor to the the patient’s doorstep with a single tap on the app. The connected homecare platform provides home healthcare and companionship services for elderly people who want medical services within the four walls of their home.
The start-up aggregates hospitals, clinics, diagnostic firms, pharmacies, ambulance services and allied health services. It has raised Rs 4 crore for its Indian operations and Rs 1.6 crore from Malaysia recently for further development of the platform and the mobile app as well as expand its customer base in newer markets. It is in an advanced stage of talks with a US-based institutional investor to raise another $10 million by next year.
“The C2C UI friendly app is being currently upgraded with My Health Manager which will have a portal where every patient can seamlessly transfer patient reported outcomes synchronised with popular digital health devices such as glucometer, blood pressure monitor, weigh scale and so on. Our custom connected homecare plan to keep people happy, safe and cheerful in their own homes is also gaining steady adoption,” says Sujeeth R Punnam, founder, Click2Clinic.
An interventional cardiologist, Punnam is upbeat about mobile technology applications that disrupt medical care. The app developed by Click2Clinic application development team in Hyderabad is freely downloadable at iOS and Google Play stores. The app has clocked 12,000 downloads already and the company has set a target of about 100,000 by end of 2017.
