Results

Four specialties (ENT, Cardio, Pediatric and Neurosurgery) were part of the pilot scope

2,300+ patients were enrolled in the pilot
The pilot serviced over 350 unique patients with 1,468+ prescription reminders
100% of clinicians who completed the provider satisfaction survey said that they would like to use the mfore service on an ongoing basis to improve their practice and increase patient satisfaction.
100% of clinicians said the service was successful in passing on instructions to patients regarding medicines, investigations etc.
Doctors gave positive feedback on the mfore solution, reporting that patient counseling and reminders on prescriptions reduced side effects and instances of wrong dosage, and improved compliance and desired treatment outcomes.

Lessons Learned

The team experienced some challenges with patient enrollment, prescription capture training, and logistical and demographic issues related to feedback collection. Patient enrollment required strong marketing, patient counseling, and a structured appointment schedule to mitigate long wait times.

What partners say

"TechEmerge program is the best program that we ever attended. There was a great pool of Advisors and we learned a lot about India as a market and the pain point of providers. However, the best part was that IFC provided us with a real opportunity and mentored us to finetune our pitch, polish our offerings, create a business model that is locally suited and provided us grant funding to run and implement the pilot. We at mfore are highly appreciative and thankful for the opportunity and mentoring."
