Telemedicine has solved one of healthcare's biggest challenges: Access to medical advice. But it has also exposed another challenge. After the consultation, what happens next? If a doctor prescribes: 💉 An injection or IV infusion 🧪 Blood investigations 👩⚕️ Nursing care 🩹 Wound dressing 🧘 Physiotherapy ...the patient still has to travel to a hospital or diagnostic center. This is where the next wave of healthcare innovation begins. I believe online consultation is not the destination—it's the entry point. The future lies in connecting telemedicine with a physical care delivery network that can bring diagnostics, nursing, rehabilitation, and primary care directly to people's homes. That's how Hospital-at-Home becomes a reality. This model is especially meaningful for: 👴 Elderly patients 🤰 Pregnant women 🛏️ Bedridden patients ❤️ Chronic disease patients 🏥 Patients recovering after discharge At Tez Health, this is exactly what we're building. Not just another telemedicine platform. We're building the infrastructure that enables healthcare to move beyond hospital walls—combining teleconsultation with nurses, diagnostics, physiotherapists, ambulances, and technology to deliver coordinated care at home. I believe the healthcare companies that define the next decade won't be those that simply connect patients to doctors. They'll be the ones that can complete the entire care journey. Healthcare is no longer about where the doctor sits. It's about how quickly, safely, and seamlessly care reaches the patient. What are your thoughts? Will Hospital-at-Home become mainstream in India over the next decade? #Healthcare #HospitalAtHome #HealthTech #Telemedicine #HomeHealthcare #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #StartupIndia #TezHealth

Everyone in the telehealth space markets to one "GLP-1 patient." There are at least three, and they don't want the same thing at all. The biggest mistake I see is treating demand like it's one audience. It isn't. The people using these medications sort into three distinct psychologies: Bucket one: the gray natives. They start in the gray market and they stay there. Cost and access-driven, and they've already found what they need in the Discords, the WhatsApp threads, Reddit, the Substacks etc. They're not looking for a provider. They're looking for a price and a community, and they have both. This group is not converting — not through better marketing, anyway. The only thing that moves them is watching it go wrong. And that does happen. A case published this year: a man bought retatrutide on his own, put himself on a self-invented dose, doubled it by accident, and was in the ER hours later with a severe reaction. Nobody had established a safe dose for what he was taking, because he was taking it outside the system entirely. I'm starting to see more of these stories surface in the threads — one at a time. Not enough to shift behavior yet. But it's the one variable that could. Bucket two: the foundationally curious. They also go gray for cost and access, but they want to understand what they're doing. They pull their own labs. They tell their PCP what they're taking. They monitor. They're in the same channels as bucket one, but they're asking different questions. This is the convertible tier! They already value guidance; they just couldn't afford or access it at the start of their journey. Give them a legitimate option that meets them on price and respects that they've been running their own protocol, and some of them move up. Bucket three: the fully guided. They can pay for the best, and they buy it — personalized protocols, full panels, provider-led plans, quarterly check-ins. They were never the problem. The industry already knows how to reach them, because they're who the whole legitimate model was built for. Bucket three is handled. Bucket one is, realistically, gone. The entire game is bucket two — the curious middle that went gray out of necessity but never stopped wanting a foundation. So, the strategic question isn't "how do we compete with the gray market on price." We will never win that game. It's whether we can market to these three mindsets as the different customers they are — and specifically, whether we can build an offer the middle tier actually converts on. Whether that shifts the market, I don't know yet. But I'm fairly sure the industry can't shift anything while it's still marketing to an audience of one.

Celebrating the impact of our research on telemedicine adoption! Miha Cimperman, Maja Zalaznik, and I share the highest author-level local citation count and are also among the top five by total citations (see also picture in the comments). Our 2016 study on older users’ acceptance of home telehealth services ranks as the third most globally cited document. Our 2013 and 2016 studies are also among the most frequently cited documents within this specialized research domain. Slovenia ranks eighth in total citations. Perhaps most importantly: this is an analysis of research impact over the last two decades. But Slovenia has many companies that are global leaders in health tech, making a practical impact every day. Source: Kiliç et al: Older Adults and Digital Health Acceptance, published in the Journal of Applied Gerontology who analysed 415 publications on the topic. But there is another message: Their paper for the journal is great, clear, meticulously analysed, and well written. But ‘my’ infographic for this LinkedIn post is awful. Firstly, it is an incomplete summary with cherry-picking. More importantly: it has errors. The paper itself clearly identified “four intellectual clusters” and “three thematic clusters”. ChatGPT somehow merged those into “five themes”. The text in the infographic looks nice at first glance, but it even misspells my co-author’s name (Cimerman instead of Cimperman). I deliberately left these errors to warn against hastily creating eye-catching infographic. Read the papers (links in the comments), ignore my “creative' infographicslop 😊

The Indiana Department of Health has released the Telehealth Pilot Grants under Initiative 8 of Indiana's $207 million Rural Health Transformation Program. The funding pool is $1.86 million, with one or more grantees to be selected. Applications are due July 31, 2026. One aspect that stands out is that technology vendors are explicitly encouraged to apply. A rural healthcare partner is strongly recommended but not required. Vendors applying independently must describe their engagement strategy, cultural adaptation, and long-term sustainability plans. Examples of eligible solutions include: • Self-contained telehealth stations with live provider access • Remote patient monitoring supported by vendor clinical staff • Tele-ICU • Tele-consult • Tele-pharmacy • Tele-dentistry • AI-powered telemedicine • Telehealth-enabled at-home diagnostic testing Eligibility includes organizations providing health services in HRSA-designated rural Indiana counties. Wearables and mobile health apps are not eligible under this initiative, as they are funded elsewhere within Indiana's Rural Health Transformation Program. Payments are tied to project deliverables: 25% upon completion of the implementation plan, 50% through monthly reports, 20% upon submission of the program assessment, and 5% at project closeout. The performance period runs from October 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027. #RHTP #RuralHealth #Indiana #Telehealth

A registration certificate doesn't build a company. But you can't build a company without one. So here it is: Opsyfy is now officially an MSME-registered company under the Government of India. Hold up, what is this post actually about? You see, India has over 1 million outpatient clinics. Most of them manage appointments through phone calls. Patient check-ins through memory. Queues through guesswork. Not because doctors don't care. Because no one built them the right tools. The health-tech world became obsessed with hospitals, telemedicine, and big enterprise plays. Meanwhile, the neighborhood clinic, the one you actually visit, got left behind. Opsyfy is being built for that clinic. Whether it's a single doctor running their practice solo, or a multi-doctor outpatient centre seeing hundreds of patients a day, everyone deserves automation built for how they actually work, not a scaled-down version of what enterprise hospitals get. We're the voice for the clinics that big tech never looked out for. Here's what we believe: Patients shouldn't have to download another app. So we built on WhatsApp, something they already use every day. Clinics shouldn't have to overhaul their workflow. So we built around it. Software shouldn't require a training session. So we made it invisible. A clinic can go live in a day, not a month. We're starting with appointment booking, check-in, and queue management. But this is chapter one of a much longer story. Great companies aren't announced. They're discovered. Slowly, then all at once. Today, most people have never heard of Opsyfy. We're perfectly fine with that. For now. Know a clinic still running on phone calls and guesswork? Send them our way. Want to see what we're building? Link's in the comments. Follow along, this is where that story gets told first.

A decade ago, “telemedicine” was the word every African tech pitch deck reached for. Five or six years on, it’s worth asking a quieter question. Not whether telemedicine sounded good, but what it actually built. The clearest lesson from Nigeria’s health tech sector is that pure teleconsultation, on its own, rarely survives as a business. Reliance Health is the most cited example. That gap produced Reliance HMO, an insurance-and-care bundle that now blends direct clinics, drug delivery, and a network of partner hospitals with its original telemedicine layer. Helium Health followed a similar logic from a different angle. Rather than build patient-facing consultations as its core product, it went after hospital infrastructure: electronic medical records, billing, and lab workflows with HeliumDoc. Companies like DrugStoc and RxAll are using data-driven logistics and AI to address Nigeria’s roughly 30 percent counterfeit medicine problem. The platforms that have lasted are the ones that built that system, not just the interface to reach it. Reliance Health RXALL PHARMACY https://lnkd.in/dzqqPtBG

Digital Health Dilemmas #2 The Case: eSanjeevani India’s national telemedicine service offers two ways to reach a doctor. eSanjeevani OPD allows patients with an internet-enabled device to register, join a virtual queue, consult a doctor, and receive an electronic prescription directly. The second model works differently. Through eSanjeevani AB-HWC, now delivered through Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, a patient visits a local health facility. A community health officer or health worker conducts the initial assessment, enters the relevant information, and connects the patient to a doctor or specialist at a remote hub. The patient does not have to own a smartphone, navigate an application, upload records, manage a video consultation, or understand the digital system independently. That design choice appears to have been central to the program’s scale. A 2025 analysis of national program data found that eSanjeevani delivered more than 163 million consultations between January 2020 and September 2023. More than 93% occurred through the provider-assisted AB-HWC model, not the direct-to-patient service. The direct model made telemedicine available. The assisted model made it accessible. eSanjeevani did not reach underserved communities by waiting for every patient to acquire a device, reliable connectivity, digital literacy, and confidence using telemedicine. It placed human infrastructure between the patient and the technology. That does not make the program flawless. Published assessments have identified inadequate health-worker training, outdated or absent technical support, weak referral and re-referral pathways, and limited feedback loops. Assisted access only works when the person providing that assistance is adequately trained and connected to a functioning clinical pathway. But the underlying design lesson remains important. For anyone building a digital health product, one of the most consequential decisions is not what the platform can do. It is what the patient must be able to do before the platform will serve them. Does the patient need to download an app, create an account, verify an identity, upload records, describe symptoms through a screen, and troubleshoot a failed connection? Or does the system supply some of that capability through health workers, caregivers, call centers, community organizations, or assisted access points? Assisted access is not an incomplete form of digitization. It is an inclusion architecture. A better interface can reduce digital exclusion. Sometimes the human intermediary is the interface. #DigitalHealthDilemmas #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity #DigitalInclusion #Telemedicine #HealthTech #eSanjeevani
