Healthcare Disruption – Will Ola, Swiggy, Pharmaeasy, and Hospitals Converge to Deliver Health Care on Call at Your Doorstep?

Swiggy is working on a marketplace to onboard local stores and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands and the pilot is already underway.

The platform is called Minis. There are select brands and merchants with whom Swiggy is testing this out.

Morning Dispatch

How long before digital Unicorns like Ola, Swiggy, Pharmeasy, and many others realize the humongous opportunity of delivering health care at the doorstep?

Imagine an app like Ola, where instead of entering where you want to go, you enter the nature of your medical need/emergency and search and find a range of hospitals/doctors/paramedics who can act as the first responders and reach your home in an ambulance or a motorbike with an HCP as a pillion rider with all necessary equipment from the thermometer to defibrillator depending on the nature of the medical care needed and triage and route you/your loved ones to the nearest hospital with an indicative cost of treatment in partnership with health insurance companies?

Healthcare is ripe for disruption, and so is any business where customer dissatisfaction is high.
