India’s healthcare sector has grown drastically in the last decade but still lacks the capacity to deal with our burgeoning population. With just 1 doctor for every 1,700 patients, the length of medical consultations has shrunk to just 2 minutes on average. Such short consultations are inadequate for a thorough investigation of patients’ symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic tests. Unsurprisingly, a greater number of people are turning to online health care for various needs, from data tracking and lab tests to self-care tools and interpretation of test results. These developments can help reduce the burden on an already stretched healthcare infrastructure, as it reduces dependence on in-hospital services.
