Navia Life Care, a digital health business has raised US $ one million in Series A funding. Anicut Angel Fund, the equity arm of Anicut Capital, led the investment, which included 9Unicorns and other notable angel investors. 

The new funding will help the company position itself as one of India’s fastest-growing digital health businesses, which is working to minimise information asymmetry and improve access to high-quality health data across the ecosystem. The company plans to invest in technology, business development, product innovation and development, across India.

Kunal Kishore Dhawan, the co-founder, Navia Life Care, said, “It has been our mission to build a “connected” healthcare ecosystem, to facilitate improvement in the standard of care and patient outcomes. We aim to address a major issue of information asymmetry, which includes lack of availability of electronic medical records for easy access by patients and doctors, or view on prescription patterns for pharma, or even smaller-scale issues such as unavailability of waiting times in OPDs for patients or information about drug availability at their nearest drugstore.”

Navia Life Care was founded in 2016 by Kunal Kishore Dhawan, Gaurav Gupta, and Nupur Khandelwal. The company has developed a connected care platform that facilitates the transmission of information across various stakeholders of the healthcare industry while generating real-world evidence which is valuable to these stakeholders in increasing their understanding through actionable insights.

The platform consists of modules for patient engagement, practice management, digital EMR and smart devices, which are used by healthcare providers and patients. Navia Smart EMR uses AI-enabled suggestions, voice-to-text and handwriting recognition to help healthcare providers and doctors create digital prescriptions faster and with minimal behavioural change. Navia e-Consult helps doctors establish virtual OPDs, including video and teleconsultations, which comply with all guidelines and security measures. Navia QM helps in streamlining the patient flow and reducing OPD waiting times in crowded clinics and hospitals. Navia Connected Care also integrates with smart medical devices to capture real-time data and help doctors to diagnose patients in a better way.
