MyHealthcare offers services such as electronic medical records (EMR), health trackers, emergency services, video consult and health monitoring. It acts as a technology partner for the hospital network across all its patient-facing services. It counts hospitals under Fortis Healthcare Ltd among its clients.

The company has launched operations across India and is now expanding its services to Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar.

“Our platform works with hospitals in enhancing their care solutions by transitioning the care process from paper to digital form. In the next phase we are working towards the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for predictive analysis, to aid care givers in the diagnosis process,” said Raha.
