In India, technological advancements in healthcare have predominantly been limited to urban areas, leaving rural regions with limited access to quality healthcare. However, healthtech startups leveraging technologies like telemedicine and AI are working to bridge this gap. The MathWorks Accelerator Program supports healthcare startups by providing free access to industry-proven software, technical expertise, and guidance from domain experts. Through this program, startups can develop innovative medical devices and solutions that cater to the needs of rural healthcare in India. Startups like iMedrix and PlebC Innovations have already made significant contributions in preventative cardiac care and accessible ultrasound procedures.
