I am sure the team would take Alivemeter to higher levels of growth. said Tanushri, Co-Founder & CEO of Alivemeter.
With growing technological advancements, the Indian healthcare sector has seen a rapid transformation especially in online healthcare platforms (OHP) that have emerged to ‘democratize’ the healthcare system.
Health-related mobile applications and technologies are often known as mHealth and manage the patient experiences.
According to a report, the global mobile health (mHealth) app market is projected to be valued at US$28.320 billion in the year 2018 and is expected to reach US$102.35 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 29.30% during the period.
It may be recalled that, earlier this month, tech giant Google had acquired Seattle-based health monitoring startup Senosis Health, which was founded by Indian-origin Professor Shwetak Patel along with four others.
