MediMetry receives investment
US-based private investments firm BlueSky Capital Partners has invested an undisclosed amount of seed money into MediMetry, an Indian telemedicine, electronic medical records and disease management start-up.
Reported by VCCircle, the investment will help the start-up to develop its digital disease management platform and expand the service.
"We are investing in MediMetry that is changing the Indian healthcare experience through its on-demand telemedicine capabilities aided by robust disease management protocols,” said Bhavish Sood, Managing Partner at BlueSky Capital Partners.
The company currently has around 1,500 doctors providing telemedicine services to more than 100,000 customers in the Delhi-NCR area. Around 40 per cent of the customers live in rural areas.
“Indian healthcare needs digital transformation to address gaps in accessibility, availability, affordability, and quality of care," said Pankaj Gupta, Venture Partner, Healthtech and Biotech, at BlueSky Capital Partners. “Hence, we are focused on digital models of care including e-prescriptions, metadata and data standards for health standards-based interoperability, and standard clinical protocol-based disease management.”
