My Health Connect SocietyExecutive Secretary

Jan. 2022Gurugram, Haryana, India · HybridI am currently working on an assignment to frame together the challenges of navigating healthcare for the common Indian. I write about it in my newsletter @ xcov19.dev. In my journey to understand and find a solution, I am developing a healthtech platform, codenamed Project XCoV19. We are still in the validation phase, working with passionate volunteers every now and then globally, in a completely bootstrapped manner. The goal is simple. Connect every Indian to the nearest desired healthcare facility as fast as possible whenever needed. Back in 2020, when the horrors of pandemic revealed itself, the experience was shocking enough for me to pivot a hobby CRM project into something built for hospitals in a hackathon hosted by Helpful Engineering 501(c); With the support of 50+ volunteers and 2 years later, it was inevitable that we setup a legal framework to move this forward while ensuring my livelihood. So we founded a non profit, My Health Connect Society, in India that could support this vision. Since then, I have invested, financially and otherwise, a huge part of my life into getting this vision closer to a place of adoption and I am happy to see it coming to life now. This has become my volunteering mission and otherwise. We as an entity are always open to global volunteers and donations for our financial sustenance. As part of my role at the venture, I have: • Developed a propriety model for healthcare facility recommendations finding product-market fit for healthcare facility discovery, reducing patient consultation times significantly by 45 minutes. • Raised funding for nonprofit as part of Google Startup Credits and procure 48000 $ in total donations and credits from companies like DigitalOcean, Retool, Confluence to help sustain and build healthtech service.
