UAE-based healthtech TruDoc Healthcare has acquired the Indian chronic disease management platform, Wellthy Therapeutics, for an unknown sum.
Founded in 2011 by Raouf Khalik, TruDoc is a telehealth and virtual care provider, including virtual clinics and hospitalist programmes for telemonitoring for acute and chronic care, while Wellthy Therapeutics, founded in 2015 by Abhishek Shah, Aradh Pillai, Maaz Shaikh, and Prayat Shah, is a virtual chronic disease management platform that delivers personalised digital therapies.
Vish Narain, Chairman of TruDoc, stated, “With this acquisition, we’re hitting a key milestone on our path to transforming healthcare across the GCC and beyond. We are crafting an integrated care experience that’s tailored to the changing needs of our patients and our clients. We envision a future where primary care is easily accessible, starting with digital platforms, followed by in-home care, with in-clinic visits only when needed.”
The deal will enable TruDoc to create a sustainable healthcare ecosystem and enhance its expansion plans into new markets, including India.
This integration ensures round-the-clock access to high-quality care, tailored treatment plans, and innovative care delivery methods for patients. These advancements hold the potential to greatly enhance health results and streamline healthcare expenditures.
The combined vision is rooted in patient-centric care, aiming to deliver a seamless, integrated healthcare experience that places the patient at the heart of every decision. With TruDoc’s leadership in the GCC and Wellthy’s proven track record in Asia, this alliance is poised to reinforce TruDoc’s leading position in the region as a tech-enabled primary care provider.
“Our founding goal at Wellthy was ambitious; to impact millions of lives. This partnership accelerates our progress towards our impact goal, broadening our reach while enhancing patient outcomes,” stated Abhishek Shah, Founder of Wellthy Therapeutics. “The combined capabilities are uniquely positioned to significantly lower healthcare expenses, contribute to savings, and reduce unnecessary hospital and clinic visits, while substantially improving the patient experience.”
The synergy of TruDoc and Wellthy Therapeutics will enable insurers, employers, and governments to provide high-quality, individualized care. Integrated services offer connected care, remote monitoring, and instant access to healthcare professionals, all supported by AI and personalized care protocols. This approach not only elevates patient care but also delivers validated results in terms of cost reductions across the outpatient care spectrum.
In pursuit of Vision 2025, TruDoc and Wellthy Therapeutics are aligning their clinical strengths and digital health expertise to create a sustainable healthcare ecosystem aimed at impacting 10 million lives. This strategic partnership signifies a significant step towards closing the loop on full stack primary care, leveraging TruDoc’s clinical proficiency and Wellthy Therapeutics’ prowess in digital health and behavioral science
