TeleCTG
Description
Health at Home tailors and connects the right
caregivers to patients with various ailments and
conditions. In addition, Health at Home provides
digital consultations and care management.
BuyMed offers a platform to centralize the
pharmaceutical distribution network in Vietnam,
matching supply and demand of
pharmaceuticals and commercial health items.
Newman's is a Y-Combinator backed digital
health clinic for men focusing on hair loss,
sexual health, and smoking addiction. The
platform provides access to doctor
consultations and prescriptions.
TeleCTG develops cardiotocography device
that detects fetal heartbeat in the womb. The
device is affordable enough to be purchased by
rural medical workers, so abnormalities can be
detected more quickly and prevent mortality of
mothers and babies.
Reason
Thailand and other SEA countries having an aging
population with low/no growth of the younger population.
This startup's services will be in demand as the aging
population requires more in-home care.
BuyMed is backed by Sequoia Capital India's Surge early-
stage accelerator, and has reported large growth in its
annual revenue in the past year. It already has an
immense number of verified suppliers, distributors,
manufacturers, and healthcare providers on its platform.
We see a huge potential for growth with new product lines
and further expansion into various SEA markets.
This digital health startup is tackling a niche market in
Indonesia that is stigmatized in the region, allowing men
to address some of these issues without having to be
embarrassed to seek treatment. We see high growth
potential in this niche segment of men's health.
Super interesting medical device startup tackling infant
and mother mortality with an affordable cardiotocography
device. This especially helps rural hospitals with lower
accessibility. It's in Phase I clinical trials, and we see a
promising future if the it can complete all clinical trials and
establish partnerships with governments and hospitals.
