OurHealthMate
OurHealthMate is reinventing a US$10b industry: every year, 22 million NonResident Indians (NRIs) send $65B back home to India. $10B of it is intended for the healthcare expenses of loved ones. But those funds often fail to benefit the recipients, because the recipients fail to make and keep medical appointments for themselves! OurHealthMate’s web platform restructures those remittances so that funds go directly to the doctor on behalf of the beneficiary, and gives the NRI payer feedback and peace of mind. The result: improved compliance and better health for all.
Business Model Innovation
We arbitrage the fact that the NRIs who send money home often value the health of their loved ones more than they do! The NRIs have a challenging role as heads of household in absentia. This creates the opportunity for a third-party model of health insurance.
Team
As NRI expats and ethnic Indians with families back home, we feel the pain point directly.
