eKincare, a Hyderabad-based company, has designed an integrated healthcare benefit platform driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data science. The AI-powered personal health assistant of eKincare reads medical data from health records, predicts health risks and provides timely personalised recommendations to beat certain crucial medical risks.

Recently, the company bagged Series A funding of $1.5 million from Endiya Partners, Ventureast, Eight Roads, Touchstone Equities and others.

Kiran Kalakuntla, Founder and CEO, eKincare, said, "We have developed a product that is disrupting the way employee health-spend is perceived in organisations across India. With the usage of technology, data science and curated services, we have assisted organisations to reach their optimal health and save on healthcare costs."

"We have seen a lot of interest from corporates to leverage our platform for their employees, keep track of the overall organization’s wellness metrics and maximise the ROI out of their wellness budgets. We have defined and established the need for an enterprise-level platform that delivers an unparalleled personalised experience for corporates, employees and consumers at large and helps them achieve and sustain their optimal health. This anonymised information at a population level, helps corporates be more strategic, targeted and personalised in their employee healthcare initiatives," he added.
