“Patients and Healthcare providers are at the center of whatever we do!”
Pankaj Sindhu and Pankaj Agrawal (Co-Founders, WONDRx)
The non- digitization of medical records is bringing a lot of challenges and a tremendous opportunity loss on data insights led research, non-aggregation of demand and supply monitoring, and siloed healthcare events. There is no end-to-end visibility of a patient’s journey right from pre-clinic to post-clinic visit monitoring. This essentially happens because a large part of medical records is still handwritten irrespective of urban or rural landscapes. WONDRx has built a product that solves the problem versus many healthcare start-ups who focus on creating the product and then fitting the product to the problem. WONDRx product is a beautifully simplified innovation that digitizes the handwritten medical records instantaneously as they are being written by the Doctor on the Prescription (Rx) paper, which in turn is available as a digital Rx copy to the Patients and also to the healthcare providers post Patient’s consent in order to serve the Patients.
WONDRx is an innovation-based Health-Tech Startup that is conceptualized and executed with an aim to integrate Healthcare ecosystems in India and other similar developing countries. It is a futuristic and smart solution company that attempts to digitize the services of many healthcare partners thereby successfully creating a world of connected healthcare. In essence, WONDRx is democratizing healthcare by improving accessibility and convenience for all in their respective healthcare endeavours.
ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
Pankaj Sindhu, the founder of WONDRx is driving the vision and product roadmap of the organization. A serial entrepreneur with two prior successful exits is applying his 20+ years of experience in building this meaningful start-up.
Pankaj Agrawal, the Co-Founder of the company is a Bachelor of Pharmacy with an Executive Management Program from the International School of Business & Media. He has over 2 decades of experience in the Healthcare Industry in some of the big companies across different workstreams like Sales & Marketing, Training & Development, Commercial Excellence, Market Access, Product Pricing Strategy, etc.
WHAT MAKES WONDRX UNIQUE IN THE MARKET?
There are enough and more solutions available locally, regionally, nationally, and globally to digitize the medical records within the Doctor’s clinic and they are labelled differently as Clinic automation, Rx-Digitization, HIS, EMR, and Telemedicine. Most of them have one end goal to convert the healthcare records into digital records by way of typing the prescription; however, the technology adoption is the biggest challenge and secondly, they miss on adequately connecting all siloed healthcare interactions like Doctor consultation, Radiological examinations, medicine supplies, AI-enabled data analytics for future research, or driving economic efficiencies across the healthcare ecosystem. WONDRx fills this gap, it focuses on medical record digitization and integrating the entire healthcare eco-system onto its single platform to derive efficiencies from data analytics and integration. There is a unique value proposition for patients and every healthcare provider on WONDRx.
As the majority of the existing solutions force the Doctors to type his/her medical records (Rx) into their respective systems, some of the pragmatic issues like increased screen time for doctors, loss of patient eye contact, excessive fatigue from data entry, mammoth patient loads at the clinics/hospitals, etc. result in lesser adoption to such typing-based systems. Typing-based systems force the Doctor to change his/her behavior from writing to typing – change in behavior is the first failure for any digital application. Therefore, even if the EMRs are deployed in private or public healthcare institutions, their usages are dismal and hence it is not serving the intended goal of digitization. Handwriting a medical prescription has been one of the most natural behaviors of doctors for decades. And this is where WONDRx becomes a natural ally to all medical practitioners – its SMART Rx solution allows the Doctor to continue handwriting the Rx while it gets digitized instantly.
