Visit Health bridges  doctor - patient gap

September 26 2019: Visit Health is a Delhi based Healthtech company that aims to solve the problems faced by Indians in accessing quality healthcare viz. inconvenience, confusion and high costs.
A brainchild of four engineers from BITS Pilani – Anurag Prasad, Shashvat Tripathi, Vaibhav Singh and Chetan Anand – who have faced the problem of inaccessibility to quality healthcare, firsthand. Visit brings together the practitioners and the patients. Both these groups so far have struggled with a system that restricts access, makes it hard to control when and where care occurs, and on whose terms. Using cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) based technology Visit facilitates timely, accurate and cost effective primary healthcare - preventive as well as curative.
The app is available free for Android users and for iOS users .
Eliminating lame excuses justifying inability to consult a doctor!
Indians only see a doctor when the problem gets out of hands or balloons into an emergency. The platform helps you connect with a practitioner over Video/call at the push of a button. Request a Visit and get a callback from a top Doctor/Therapist/Coach within 30 minutes, anytime, anywhere. The app also allows you to book a face-to-face appointment with the doctor of your preference.
Visit offers access to the 1200+ top Hospitals, 35000 doctors across 70+ cities, and counting on its panel. Users can get an appointment within 24 hours. There will be no waiting and the specialist would already be primed about your specific problem. This makes for faster and more accurate diagnose. You may also book appointments for your diagnostic tests and order medicines through Visit at discounted prices. The objective is to democratize access to primary healthcare.
FITcoins – Health is Wealth, quite literally!
The platform goes beyond curative healthcare i.e. putting you across to the right doctor or getting you the medicines at discount at your doorstep. It  offers  preventive  healthcare  including  monitoring  of vitals, physical activity, diet, calories consumed and burnt and much more. And what’s more you get financial incentives to log in those details as FITcoins. These  can  be  redeemed  at  major  ecommerce portals like Bookmyshow, Amazon, Shoppers Stop, Starbucks and many more. The platform covers a complete spectrum of primary healthcare solutions -- offering access to dieticians, physiotherapists, and fitness experts among others. Visit gives you a live picture of your health and enables you to monitor your progress across parameters.
