By turning smartphones into stethoscopes and data into diagnoses, they’re challenging centurie sold healthcare norms and making expert care a click away, especially for those once left unseen and unheard.

In response to the growing need for dependable virtual healthcare during the pandemic, DOCGENIE was founded in 2020 by a founding team including Dr Rachna Kucheria and Vijay Raghunathan, in collaboration with an advisory panel of senior doctors.

Backed by decades of global clinical experience and deep expertise in telemedicine, the founders recognized the limitations of existing platforms, which primarily functioned as transactional marketplaces. DOCGENIE was envisioned as a high-quality online outpatient department (OPD), focused on delivering clinical excellence, providing access to experienced doctors, and maintaining a patient-cen tric approach.

Dr Rachna Kucheria, Founder of DOCGENIE and a licensed practitioner in both India and the U.S., states, “We believe in a hybrid approach that combines technology with human support. This ‘phygital’ model ensures personalized care, secure data management, and services tailored to the diverse healthcare needs of Indian patients”.

Building on its vision of patient-first virtual care, DOCGENIE approaches healthcare not as a profit-driven industry but as a shared responsibility. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between governments and the private sector to improve global health outcomes.

The platform is committed to understanding patient needs, empowering doctors to deliver better results, and leveraging emerging technologies to enable seamless, effective care. Supported by a strong network of experienced medical professionals and a robust hybrid care model, DOCGENIE is redefining the landscape of quality remote healthcare in India and beyond.
