Health & life sciences

Hospitals & care providers. Patient journeys from first search to follow-up.

Doctor profiles stay within the conduct code.

We build patient journeys, consented patient records and health communication for hospital groups, clinics, diagnostic chains and home-care providers. Each is built to the DPDP Act and measured on time from first contact to appointment.

What is shifting

Patients arrive informed, and expect the record to follow them.

They compare doctors, prices and waiting times online, consult by video and carry their reports on a phone. Each shift names what it demands, with a fact you can check.

Care moved onto screens; the record has to follow.
  1. Patients search doctors, departments and prices before they choose a provider.

    What it needsService pages, doctor profiles and price information that answer the question without promising outcomes.

    EvidenceRule 9 of the Clinical Establishments (Central Government) Rules, 2012 requires registered establishments to display each service’s rate in the local language and English.

  2. Consultations moved to video, audio and chat.

    What it needsTeleconsultation journeys with identity, consent and records handled as carefully as in the clinic.

    EvidenceThe Telemedicine Practice Guidelines of March 2020 let registered doctors consult by video, audio and text, with limits on what can be prescribed remotely.

  3. Health records are becoming portable.

    What it needsSystems that link to a patient’s health account and share records only on the patient’s consent.

    EvidenceUnder the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, records move between providers only against the patient’s consent.

  4. AI arrives in triage, scheduling and documentation.

    What it needsAssistants that route and summarise, with clinicians deciding and every output reviewable.

    EvidenceThe ICMR’s 2023 ethical guidelines for AI in healthcare ask for human oversight, accountability and data privacy.

The rulebook

What a provider may say, and how it must treat the record.

The professional-conduct code, the clinical-establishment rules, telemedicine guidance, the data law and its health records framework, read for a care provider. Your medical and legal teams keep sign-off.

Standards we build to

  • DPDP Act 2023 — Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
  • CERT-In Directions 2022 — Cyber incident reporting directions
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — Information security management systems
  • WCAG 2.2 AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

We design and build to these standards. This does not mean we are certified.

Advertising & claims

Shapes most of the work

  1. National Medical Commission

    Professional-conduct code for doctors, 2002

    Doctors may not solicit patients or advertise themselves; what they may publish about themselves is limited. The NMC’s 2023 conduct regulations were held in abeyance in August 2023, so the 2002 code applies.

    We designDoctor profiles state qualifications, specialities, languages and timings, and never claim superiority or results.

    Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 · NMC notice of 23 August 2023

  2. Central Consumer Protection Authority

    CCPA misleading-ads guidelines, 2022

    Claims must be substantiated, and disclaimers may not contradict the claim they qualify; outcome and success-rate claims need evidence.

    We designService pages describe treatments and processes; any figure carries its source and date.

    CCPA · Guidelines for Prevention of Misleading Advertisements and Endorsements, 9 June 2022 Official text: CCPA misleading-ads guidelines, 2022

Sector regulator

Shapes most of the work

  1. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare

    Clinical Establishments Act, 2010 and Rules, 2012

    Where a state or union territory has adopted the Act, registered establishments display each service’s rate in the local language and English.

    We designPrice and package pages are built from the same rate card the front desk uses.

    Clinical Establishments (Central Government) Rules, 2012 · rule 9

  2. Board of Governors in supersession of the Medical Council of India

    Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020

    Registered doctors may consult by video, audio or text; patient and doctor identify themselves, consent is recorded and remote prescribing is limited by list.

    We designTeleconsultation journeys capture identity and consent, and keep the record with the clinic’s own.

    Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 25 March 2020 Official text: Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020

Personal data

Shapes most of the work

  1. Ministry of Electronics and IT

    DPDP Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025

    Health information is personal data: consent per purpose, security safeguards and breach reporting. The Rules exempt care given to a child by a clinical establishment from the parental-consent requirement, to the extent needed for the child’s health.

    We designPatient data is collected per purpose, access is role-based and logged, and retention is set by record type.

    DPDP Act, 2023 · DPDP Rules, 2025, Fourth Schedule (core obligations from 13 May 2027) Official text: DPDP Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025

  2. National Health Authority

    ABDM Health Data Management Policy

    Records shared through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission move only against the patient’s consent, recorded as a consent artefact.

    We designRecord-sharing screens are designed to the consent artefact, and every grant is logged.

Security & incidents

Shapes most of the work

  1. Indian Computer Emergency Response Team

    CERT-In Directions, 2022

    Report cyber incidents within six hours of noticing them, and keep logs of every ICT system for a rolling 180 days, within India.

    We designPatient portals launch with logging, monitoring and an incident response plan in place.

    CERT-In · Directions under section 70B(6), 28 April 2022 Official text: CERT-In Directions, 2022

Safe AI use

Often shapes the work

  1. Indian Council of Medical Research

    ICMR ethical guidelines for AI in healthcare, 2023

    Non-binding guidance: AI used in care should be validated, explainable, privacy-preserving and overseen by people who remain accountable.

    We designEvery assistant has an evaluation set, a named clinical owner and a log of what it produced.

Challenges

Clear choices for patients, one record for your teams.

What patients need before, during and after a visit — and what it takes your teams to give it to them from systems that rarely talk to each other.

Your customers

  1. Choosing a provider

    Doctors, departments, prices and waiting times explained before the first visit.

  2. One record across visits

    Reports, prescriptions and follow-ups sent to the patient, so nobody has to chase them.

  3. Care at home

    Home visits, sample collection and remote follow-up booked as easily as an appointment.

A doctor checks a patient’s blood pressure across a desk in a consulting room
Every visit leaves a record someone else will need.

Your operation

  1. Limits on advertising

    Doctors may not solicit patients, and outcomes may not be promised.

  2. Disconnected systems

    Hospital, lab, pharmacy and CRM systems each hold part of the patient’s record.

  3. Consent for sensitive data

    Health information needs consent per purpose, controlled access and a retention plan.

What we make

Six areas, chosen for hospitals & care providers.

A typical project here uses each area in this mix. Each line says what it makes for the industry and links to the service behind it.

Leads Core Supports Share of a typical project, by role · illustrative
  1. Patient journeys for search, booking, home collection, reports and follow-up, tested with patients and front-desk staff.

  2. A consented patient record, with reminders and follow-up across WhatsApp, SMS and email.

  3. 03

    Brand Design

    Core

    Brand architecture for groups of hospitals, clinics and specialities, and doctor profiles that inform without advertising.

  4. Integrations between hospital, lab and CRM systems, secure patient portals and audit logging.

  5. 05

    AI Design

    Core

    Assistants that route enquiries and draft documents for clinicians to review.

  6. Health information written to the advertising rules and reviewed by clinicians.

AI, under the rules

AI routes and drafts, clinicians decide.

Each use case runs inside automatic checks: no diagnosis, no prescription, a clinician signing what matters and a log a medical director could read.

Work and insights

The work, kept private until clients approve.

We publish projects in this industry once the client approves the write-up. Until then, here is what we have written on related topics.

A typical project · example

A multi-city diagnostics chain moved booking, home collection and report delivery onto one consented journey, so patients see one record from test to report.

An example of the shape a project takes, without client names.

Questions

What medical, digital and operations leaders ask us first.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly

Q.01Can you market our doctors?

Yes, within the professional-conduct code. Profiles state qualifications, specialities, languages and timings, because the code does not allow doctors to solicit patients or claim superiority. Your medical and legal teams sign off.

Q.02Do you integrate with our hospital information system?

Yes, through its APIs or your integration engine. We design the patient journey around the systems you already run.

Q.03How do you handle health data?

We design it to the DPDP Act from the start: consent per purpose, minimum data, role-based access, logging and breach response. Records shared through ABDM follow the patient’s consent artefact.

Q.04Can AI answer patients’ questions?

Partly. It routes enquiries, explains report terms and drafts documents for clinicians to sign. It does not diagnose or prescribe.

Tell us what you need built.

You will talk to the lead who would run your work.
