Our AI driven digital health assistant, designed for use either by end users or caregivers, has already seen great success in the US as well as India, with over 300,000 downloads. We are grateful for this opportunity to work with the Indian Government to develop a solution tailored for this incredibly important mission," said Shwetika Kumar, Country Head for KnowYourMeds India.KnowYourMeds has a suite of healthcare products in the B2B and B2C space - from a consumer app that assists people in early screening and prevention, managing conditions and medications to a telehealth portal that leverages AI assisting doctors in faster and better diagnosis and treatment for patients. KnowYourMeds' foray into telehealth started in April 2020 when ICMR came out with operational guidelines around telemedicine.
