Healthtech Startup HealWell24 Is Bringing The Next Revolution In HealthCare With DocsCampus
COVID-19 pandemic revealed the gaps in the existing healthcare structure and showed that the Indian healthcare system is broken.
With a lower doctor-patient ratio (1:1000), issues in last-mile healthcare delivery and lack of qualified doctors in rural & semi-urban areas, the Indian HealthCare system needs a revolution.
There is no effective, trusted single window for healthcare delivery to everyone and no proven way for professionals to find, consult, transact with each other online.
Providing a solution to all these issues, healthtech startup HealWell24, with its technology-Enabled Local Healthcare Services Search Engine, is helping people with online consultation, doctor home visits, lab tests and more.
Startup Story: HealWell24 | Technology-Enabled Local Healthcare Services Search Engine
Founding Team
Started by JK Singha, along with Rk Ningthem, Nilesh Bhanushali and Chittaranjan Mishra, HealWell24 is a digital health platform that offers convenient online medical services that empower people to take control of their health.
In Jan 2021, Anil Vikramaditya Verma, a top executive in a major beauty care startup, joined HealWell24 as Chief Investment Officer.
Bringing The Next Revolution in HealthCare
HealWell24 is bringing the next revolution in healthcare with its upcoming product DocsCampus.com.
The idea behind the next chapter of HealWell24 emanates from a deep and personal experience of the team. It is to solve for the current asymmetry of Indian Healthcare (of information & access). No booking engine (such as HealWell24.com or Practo.com) will ever be sufficient at a scale that has become obvious to the entire world during the two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It would need not just a simple engine but a user-managed network of Doctors & Patients owned and moderated with the community at its center stage.
DocsCampus.com, the upcoming product of HealWell24, plans to solve this through a simple to use and effective platform for the next generation, stated the founder.
How HealWell24 Started?
Understanding the situation of the Indian health system where there is no proven way for professionals to find, consult, transact with each other online, JK Singha realised that the Indian HealthCare system needs a revolution.
He started creating a single healthcare window, enabling people access easy to healthcare. So, JK Singha, along with Rk Ningthem, Nilesh Bhanushali and Chittaranjan Mishra, started HealWell24 to provide a trusted single window for healthcare delivery to everyone.
Now, the startup is working on DocsCampus.com, a Healthcare Network.

USP Of HealWell24
The Healthtech startup currently provides an easy-to-use web and mobile platform where members can connect with India’s top doctors – 24/7, 365 days a year.
Speaking about the platform, JK Singha says,
“HealWell24, the current product, already empowers individuals with remote screening, where patients can connect with their dedicated doctors anytime, from anywhere, and engage in live video sessions. We also provide additional support, like doctor home visits, home lab tests or medicine delivery, to our customers- all of which are fulfilled on the same day by our team.
But with DocsCampus, we would consider us successful when we have removed the existing asymmetry of access & information for doctors or medical students in rural/ semi-urban areas & their patients.”
As per JK Singha, the DocsCampus portal is not expected to be monetized in the coming quarters till it hits an inflection point. Also, to ensure top quality service delivery to all the doctors on the platform and their patients, the services of the current booking engine will be deeply integrated.
He adds,
“The company will be moving into the next phases of DocsCampus lifecycle in the coming three quarters from launch, of which I remain tightlipped but extremely excited about.”
