#3 MediAngels

Founders: Dr Debraj Shome and Dr Arbinder Singal

No queuing up at the hospitals, no appointment hassles, and no frequent travelling headaches between clinics and home. This is what MediAngels, a virtual health care start-up organization aims to provide for its customers. This platform houses more than 300 experts from around the globe who have been verified by a global panel. It not only provides 24/7 consultation with doctors through telephone and internet, but also provides services to order a blood test or other lab tests, right from your home. The patients’ records are stored virtually and can be accessed anytime, anywhere. This has already seen success in bridging the gap between doctors and patients in most of the urban areas in India. What remains to be seen is similar success at the rural regions.

#2 Surgerica

Founders: Amit Bhagat and Amarendra Kumar

With numerous doctors, physicians, clinics and hospitals around us, sometimes with the lack of proper information, it’s very difficult to arrive at an informed decision. To avoid all such tensions and confusions Surgerica, a relatively new startup aims to bring ‘speed and transparency’ within the health care sector. This prodigal company is run by Amit Bhagat and Amarendra Kumar. In this online platform, a patient or family can connect with numerous doctors and consultants, choose the right hospital, compare multiple opinions of doctors and arrive at an informed decision. Today, one can go on-line and book tickets to movies, order a pizza and arrange a travel service, getting a proper health consultation is the one thing lagging behind. And Surgerica hopes to solve this issue in the coming days.
