Two IIT graduates, Mudit Dandwate and Gaurav Parchani came together to address the lack of accuracy present in healthcare. Mudit previously worked with F1 Speeds and they wanted to bring the technology used for detecting a car’s health contactless and use it for detecting human health too. At that time, the best a device could give was 75% accuracy. Furthermore, most of these devices do not record stress levels and sleep cycles with accuracy. 

In 2015, the duo started their R&D and in mid-2019 they launched India’s first contactless remote health monitoring startup. The Bangalore-based startup came out with Dozee, a zero contact health monitor that provides results with 98.4% accuracy. This monitor uses Ballistocardiography where a thin sensor sheet is placed on the patient’s mattress which records data. The data then further gets analysed by AI-powered algorithms. 

Their 24x7 Central Monitoring Cell has saved over 5 plus hours of quality nursing time per patient. It reduces nursing hours and helps the resources to get utilised elsewhere. During the pandemic, when India faced severe shortages of critical resources, Dozee delivered patients with critical care. Its technology could transform any regular bed into an ICU care unit in under 2 minutes. 

Since its start, Dozee has monitored 32,000 patients. In the first six months of 2021, 216 hospitals have adopted Dozee’s remote patient monitoring solution. They plan to launch their technology in 1000 more hospitals. They had raised Rs 4 crores from various angel investors till 2019. In 2020, 3one4 Capital, Prime Venture Partners and YourNest Venture Capital raised Rs 125 million in venture round. This year, Prime Venture Partners led the series A round and raised Rs 440 million. 

This startup was heavily supported by the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Department of Biotechnology (Government of India), Qualcomm and more. It was also a part of the 12th batch of JioGenNext. With such massive support from reputed organisations, will Dozee fulfil its promise of delivering contactless monitoring to millions of Indians thus saving their lives?
