The Crisis

Healthcare Without Infrastructure

Over 65% of India’s rural workforce lacks structured health records and access to immediate emergency funds, driving marginalized households into debt over basic medical needs.

60%

Out-of-Pocket Expenditure

High out-of-pocket costs push millions back into poverty annually due to sudden medical emergencies.

0

Digital Records

Paper records are lost or destroyed. Vital history like allergies or past diagnoses are unavailable to local clinics.

400M+

Unaware of Schemes

Eligible populations remain unaware of government subsidies like Ayushman Bharat, leaving funds unutilized.

Our Solution

A Wallet for Health & Dignity

A low-cost, offline-first smart health identity card designed specifically for low-connectivity, low-literacy regions.

Offline-First Records

Embedded NFC and dynamic QR hold encrypted critical health data, accessible by ASHA workers without high-speed internet.

Scheme Aggregator

Automated system scans profiles to instantly link families with active government benefits and micro-insurance programs.

Micro-Savings Fund

Save daily amounts (₹10–₹50) via local Kiranas into a locked, health-only wallet for diagnostics and generic medicines.

Discount Network

Direct integration with Jan Aushadhi Kendras and partner labs for pre-negotiated, subsidized healthcare rates.
