Health-tech start-up HealthPlix Technologies has raised $13.5 million as part of its ongoing Series B funding led by Lightspeed, with participation from existing investors JSW Ventures, Kalaari Capital, and Chiratae Ventures. The startup plans to grow five times by expanding the doctor base in existing geographies, adding new towns and medical specialties, and bolstering its team and product, it said in a statement. Founded by Sandeep Gudibanda, Raghuraj Sunder Raju, and Prasad Basavaraj, Bengaluru-based Healthplix helps doctors digitize clinical operations and clinical treatment methodologies.

While the pandemic has boosted health tech start-ups, most of them are primarily focused on patients or health administrators and limited to areas such as appointment management or drug delivery. Healthplix addresses doctors who form the core of healthcare delivery and its platform makes it easier for them to speed-up their practices, maintain patient records, offer remote consults and improve patient outcomes. HealthPlix’s platform allows doctors to interact with patients, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and insurers seamlessly. “Doctors are at the core of healthcare delivery, and at the core of a doctor’s day is his interaction with the patient. This interaction is the moment of truth, where $88 billion of annual healthcare spend is decided. And in this moment of truth, the only solution that doctors turn to for assistance is HealthPlix,” said Sandeep Gudibanda, co-Founder & CEO of HealthPlix.
