eKincare, a Hyderabad-based integrated healthcare benefits platform driven by Artificial Intelligence, has announced that it has secured $1.5 million in funding.
The investors include Ventureast, Endiya Partners, Eight Roads, Touchstone Equities and BVR Mohan Reddy.
The company’s AI-powered personal health assistant reads medical data from health records and various healthcare interventions, predicts risks, and provides timely personalised recommendations to beat those risks. Users have to input data by taking pictures of their medical records.
“The current round of funding will be used to grow and expand our technology platform and sales team and also get more doctors onboard. We are committed to providing effective and intelligent solutions to the healthcare system in India, and contribute in developing a healthy ecosystem overall,” said Kiran Kalakuntla, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the company.
eKincare’s clientèle include Barclays, Unilever, Optum and Disney, and it has partners in over 2,000 locations across India. The company was launched in 2014.
