E-health startups are witnessing sharp growth in the last few months as covid-induced lockdown and social distancing have prompted customers to move to online consultation, treatment, medical tests and medicine delivery. Healthcare startups are witnessing a huge surge in demand and a spurt in funding activity, similar to edtech platforms, which outperformed all other sectors among startups. “Health-tech startups in e-health, remote healthcare and online medical supplies space have seen high growth in the post-covid world,” said Aryaman Tandon, practice leader, healthcare, Praxis Global Alliance. He added during the crisis, online pharmacies have played an essential role in availability of drugs and medicines with social distancing measures.
