A health-tech startup focused on helping doctors provide better and more efficient care to patients, HealthPlix raised $3 million.

“Population level health problems can be better managed if digital tools assist doctors at the time of treating their patients,” HealthPlix co-founder Sandeep Gudibanda said. “Our goal at HealthPlix is to drive better Health Outcomes by enabling widespread adoption of our platform.”

The startup has assisted in the treatments of 1.2 million patients since its founding in 2014 by Gudibanda, Raghuraj Sunder Raju and Prasad Basavaraj. 60 percent of its 1.2-million-person customer base comes from areas consider Tier 2, Tier 3 or further.

“In India, 90 per cent of care is delivered in an outpatient setting i.e. clinics and hospital OPDs,” Raju said. “That’s our target segment. We are trying to empower doctors and hospitals digitally by eliminating the conventional pen & paper prescriptions and shift to new age EMR.”

An aspect of the new funds raised by the startup, which provides the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) via its platform, will be used for service expansion into more areas of the medical field.

The health and wellness startup which uses artificial intelligence technology for its online platform, will also allocate part of the new investment to further develop their technology.

“HealthPlix software is lot more than just an EMR,” Gudibanda said. “Its assistive-AI goes 4 levels deep: It adapts to doctors’ specialty, their practice preference, patient’s disease and the stage of the disease.”

The platform created by the Bengaluru-based company provides doctors with a multi-language service, through which they can assist and write prescriptions in up to 18 languages, with a presence in 20 states throughout India.

An aspect of the new funds raised in the Series A round will be used for job growth and team expansion by HealthPlix, which already services 150 cities.

Bengaluru-based venture capital firm IDG Ventures and financial services company, based in the same city, Kalaari Capital, are investors in the round.

We are happy to have gained valuable support from the leading investors – IDG Ventures India and Kalaari Capital,” Gudibanda said. “The fundraise will help us to enhance clinical experiences for patients & doctors and thereby create a platform which will revolutionize the Indian healthcare ecosystem.”
