Respiro Health is building the pre-consultation intelligence layer for India's OPDs — a WhatsApp-native platform that gives doctors a structured patient summary, flags high-risk cases, and closes the care loop automatically. No app. No new infrastructure. Zero friction.
India's OPDs see 6 billion visits a year. In the vast majority, the doctor begins with zero information about the patient sitting in front of them. No structured history. No pre-visit triage. No way to distinguish a routine case from a critical one before the patient walks in. The problem is not the consultation — it is everything that happens before it.
Respiro sits between appointment booking and consultation — capturing structured patient data before the visit, surfacing it to the doctor in real time, and following up automatically after. One platform. Zero disruption to existing workflows.
Patient scans a QR code or messages the clinic on WhatsApp — no app download required
Answers structured clinical questions in their language in 3–5 minutes
Completed before the patient enters the clinic — doctor is already informed
Zero friction — works on any phone with WhatsApp already installed
AI-generated triage summary ready on the doctor's dashboard before the patient sits down
High-risk cases automatically flagged in the queue — critical patients never wait undetected
ICD-10 diagnosis and medications logged post-consultation in one workflow
COO dashboard shows live queue, funnel, and doctor-efficiency metrics in real time
Patient automatically contacted at Day 3, 7, 14, and 30 — in their language, on WhatsApp
Asked how they are feeling — structured responses captured and logged
Non-recovering patients flagged to the doctor immediately — before they deteriorate
Builds a longitudinal outcomes record per patient — automatically, over time
Every health-tech company builds a patient app. Patients don't download it. Respiro is built on the channel patients already use — making adoption a non-issue from day one.
Patients don't download apps — WhatsApp is already on every phone
Doctors don't change workflows — they simply open a dashboard
Hospitals don't replace infrastructure — Respiro sits on top
Every income level, language, and geography in India is already on WhatsApp
Patient app models have failed at scale in Indian healthcare — WhatsApp sidesteps every adoption barrier
Respiro starts with respiratory OPDs — the highest-complexity intake environment in Indian healthcare. The same platform deploys across specialties, across hospital groups, and across geographies without rebuilding from scratch.
Purpose-built for pulmonology OPDs — clinically reviewed symptom architecture, multilingual flows, and a triage model designed for India's respiratory disease burden.
The same infrastructure deploys to Cardiology, General Medicine, and beyond. No rebuilding. No new training. One platform, every department.
Every patient interaction generates structured, diagnosis-linked clinical data. The more OPDs that run Respiro, the more accurate and clinically relevant the platform becomes.
We are not building a tool for one department. We are building the intelligence layer for the Indian OPD.
Respiro is a technical founder-led company with clinical advisory from some of India's leading respiratory health and public health experts.
We are building Respiro with partners who understand the operational and clinical reality of Indian OPDs. If your work touches outpatient care, hospital operations, or healthcare investment — we want to talk.
Pulmonology OPDs, chest clinics, and multi-specialty hospitals interested in a 30-day free pilot. We handle everything — setup, deployment, and training. You get full operational and clinical data from day one.
Individuals who can open doors to hospital CMOs, medical directors, or health department decision-makers across India. Warm introductions move faster than cold outreach.
Medical institutions and research bodies interested in clinical validation partnerships, co-authorship, or joint grant applications in respiratory health and digital health.
Investors who understand the Indian healthcare market and bring clinical or hospital relationships alongside capital. We are raising our pre-seed round.
Whether you run a clinic, lead a hospital department, work in health-tech investment, or simply want to understand what we are building — write to us.
