What Zealth does

Zealth is building remote monitoring software to help hospitals provide automated continuous round-the-clock support to their cancer patients post-discharge. Hospitals are overburdened with no resources to provide care to their chronic patients once they leave the hospital. For instance, in India, there are only 2200 oncologists for 1.38 billion people. Patients travel 100 miles waiting for hours to get few minutes with the doctors. They have no easy means to manage all the toxicities and symptoms they get once they are back home. This leads to 6X lower patient retention, 4X high emergency readmissions, and poor patient outcomes. Zealth bridges this gap through its digital health intervention platform.

Software for remote monitoring of cancer patients

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

We've built software that helps hospitals remotely monitor cancer patients after discharge. Our platform automates continuous support, tracking symptoms and toxicities so that clinicians can intervene early. This addresses the massive shortage of oncologists and the challenge cancer patients face managing their health outside the hospital.

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

We live in Bengaluru, India, and the company is based there with remote work as needed.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru has a strong healthcare tech ecosystem. Being in India puts us close to the patients and hospitals who most urgently need a solution like ours, especially given the limited oncologist availability here.
