OneCare | Ensuring 10x Better Outcomes For Patients

Founded in 2021 by Dr Rakesh Shivran and Sagar Bhat, OneCare is a new-age healthcare provider network that is creating a tech-enabled healthcare ecosystem from the ground up to disrupt a $50Bn market.

The startup wants to completely change the way patients receive care for complex diseases and is leveraging AI and IoT technology, behavioural science, and clinical science to reimagine clinics that provide 10x better outcomes to patients with chronic diseases like diabetes.

Speaking on the development, Rakesh Shivran, Co-founder and CEO at OneCare, said,

“The Indian healthcare system, designed for acute conditions and infectious diseases, fails to provide much-needed comprehensive care suiting the needs of chronic disease patients. At most clinics, patients do not have options to get this comprehensive care and are stuck in the vicious cycle of over-reliance and increasing burden of only pharmaceutical interventions.”

The Bangalore-based diabetes care startup transforms an existing diabetes clinic into a technology-enabled, protocols-driven, smart clinic that provides comprehensive clinical, lifestyle, and behavioural interventions to patients instead of just focusing on giving medicines.

OneCare looks to solve chronic disease management as a whole, and diabetes management in particular, through a unique omnichannel approach that can have 10x better results than any solution available in India, said Raveen Sastry, Partner, Multiply Ventures.
