Company
Noora Health
Training patients and their families with health skills
We create training programs that teach hospital patients' families basic but vital caregiving skills. Our curriculum is delivered through trusted healthcare providers inside existing hospital workflows to lower complications and mortality after surgery or hospitalization. It empowers families as active care partners.
We live and work in Bengaluru, KA, India. After YC, we plan to continue to base the company here to maintain close ties with our primary hospital partners across South Asia.
Our work depends on building relationships with hospitals and caregivers in India and neighboring countries. Being in Bengaluru lets us work directly with the networks of healthcare providers where our program is implemented.
