Electronic Medical Records for India

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an iPad app that lets doctors in India digitize their patient medical records. It's designed for the realities of Indian clinics where most doctors still use paper charts. Our app replaces those with a tablet-based system to organize, store, and quickly access patient histories during consultations.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Bengaluru, KA, India, and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Most of our early users and market are in India, so it makes sense to be based here. Bengaluru's tech ecosystem also helps us recruit and build the product.
