India Health Link (IHL), a digital health and medical device start-up, is joining hands by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Canopi for its hPod financing sanction for ($14M+) – a Supply Chain Finance & Trade Finance Marketplace, to expand the deployment of their first-of-its-kind integrated, human-centric, preventive health screening ‘Phygital’ healthcare ecosystem in India.

To ensure the wellness of Indian patients via preventive screening, India Health Link (IHL) with a first-of-its-kind integrated, human-centric, preventive health screening ‘Phygital’ healthcare ecosystem, wishes to reach out to every Indian patient through hospitals and doctors’ networks and make its Health Pod (‘hPod’) and IHL Care available to them.

But, at the initial stage, the challenge lies in the scalability of their Health Pod (‘hPod’) solutions. To make the ecosystem of scalability smooth and robust, IHL has collaborated with Canopi to qualify hPod under medical equipment financing and ease the adoption of its integrated healthcare screening ecosystem.

Owing to the lending facility of Canopi, the preventive healthcare delivery will reach the maximum number of Indians who are deprived of the accessibility of primary and preventive care in the remotest part of the country.

Speaking on Canopi and IHL partnership, Abhay Asrani, Co-Founder & Director, Canopi, said, “It’s great to collaborate with India Health Link (IHL) as its ‘Phygital’ ecosystem is instrumental in providing maximum people with the accessibility of preventive screening, which is the need of the hour to reduce the disease burden in the long run. We are also thankful to our Lending Partner Banks and NBFCs for providing lending support. We will continue to provide innovative, affordable and effective healthcare credit solutions in the country through this kind of partnership. We wish to leverage our credit outreach to such healthcare companies who are instrumental in offering easily accessible and affordable healthcare solutions to the common people of India.”

Dr Satyender Goel, Founder & CEO - India Health Link, said, “Collaboration with Canopi is the need of the hour as it will be instrumental in enabling hospitals, small clinics, diagnostic labs, and pharmacies to get one-of-a-kind self-screening health Pod and IHL Care platform. We wish to reach out to every Indian and provide them with this ATM-size screening Health Pod so that they get their basic vitals screened and also promote preventive care culture to reduce the NCDs burden in India. For this, we want to start it from the grass-root level with a trusted ecosystem of doctors who could provide health & wellness education and awareness about preventive screening and its collective advantages to their patients. This initiative will help us scale up the ongoing deployments of our integrated preventive screening ecosystem even to the remotest of areas of the country.”
