Client Overview
MediCare Health Systems is a leading healthcare provider in India with a network of 15 hospitals, 40+ clinics, and over 2,000 healthcare professionals serving more than 1.5 million patients annually. Founded in 1995, MediCare has built a reputation for quality care and medical excellence across multiple specialties.
With the pandemic accelerating the need for remote healthcare services and shifting patient expectations, MediCare recognized the need to transform their traditional in-person healthcare model. They needed a robust telehealth solution that could maintain the quality of care while enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and patient engagement. Additionally, they sought to differentiate themselves from competitors by offering a more personalized and responsive healthcare experience.

The Challenge
MediCare Health Systems faced several critical challenges in their digital healthcare transformation journey.
Patient Engagement Barriers
Their existing patient portal had low adoption rates (less than 12%) and suffered from poor user experience. Patients struggled with appointment scheduling, accessing medical records, and communicating with healthcare providers between visits, leading to low engagement and satisfaction scores.
Limited Telehealth Capabilities
The sudden surge in telehealth demand during the pandemic exposed limitations in MediCare's infrastructure. Their existing video consultation solution was unreliable, lacked integration with electronic health records (EHR), and failed to provide the seamless experience patients expected.
Care Continuity Challenges
MediCare struggled to maintain continuity of care in their hybrid (in-person and virtual) healthcare model. Critical information was siloed across different systems, remote monitoring was inadequate, and personalized follow-up was largely manual and inconsistent.
"The pandemic dramatically accelerated telehealth adoption, but our existing systems weren't designed for this scale of virtual care. We needed to transform the patient experience from appointment scheduling through post-care follow-up. Most importantly, we wanted technology that could make healthcare more personalized and proactive, rather than just digitizing our existing processes."
