Home healthcare companies are laboriously working towards bringing in most advanced care to the patient’s doorstep
India has one of the lowest hospital bed to patient ratios in the world – 0.9 to 1,000, which is less than one third of the World Health Organisation norm of three beds per 1,000 patients. If you factor out the urban skew, the ratio deteriorates significantly to 1 bed per 6,000 patients! Add to this worrying scenario of the relatively high cost of high quality hospitalcare (although quite competitive by global standards), and you have the makings of an exponential and growing need for affordable care @ home.
Today, wellness and life-span are two metrics of a developed nation. Enabled by cutting edge medical technologies; R&D advances; remote diagnostics; robotics and artificial intelligence the face and shape of critical care @ home is set to undergo a sea change. And that change – especially in the Care @ Home space - is being driven by start-ups.
These startups are not just facilitating medical service delivery to patients across the country, but are helping in cutting down the cost of treatments, diagnosis and care@ home services. Other streams of healthcare startups include online pharmacy, medical tech, hospital automation, mobile health, telemedicine and many more.
