Our History

Genesis

Medisha.com was born in 2015 out of frustration of a doctor who could not find a convenient place to maintain own personal medical records. Most doctors, clinics and diagnostic labs handed out handwritten or printed records but there was no easy way to organize this information in one place. Determined to solve this problem, the doctor started to learn technology to design and build the first version of Medisha.com in October 2015.

The first version of Medisha.com was quite simple. It was like a digital locker for medical files. The doctor wasn't satisfied.

Evolution

Slowly the doctor adding features that made it easier and more meaningful to use. Over time following features were added:

• Uploading multiple images in one go
• Uploading PDFs and extracting text from PDFs
• Adding text search function
• Adding OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to Images so you could search images as well
• Mobile app
• An artificial intelligence powered summarization engine

It was even more difficult to choose what not to do. Following features were asked for but never implemented:

• Searching for and finding doctors
• Clinic management
• Handling billing and accounts for doctors
• Printing the uploaded documents
• Creation of subfolders
• Generating prescriptions
• Asking for subscription fees
• Connecting to heart rate monitors, pedometers, weighting machines, etc.

Progression

India is a country of poor health infrastructure. We would like to lend a hand without extracting money from the poorest. For this reason we have kept our services free for the most part. We will keep enhancing our services and bringing more benefit to those who need it without adding exorbitant charges.

We don't make money from our free services. However, following is clear to us that when we make money:

• We will not compromise on ethics
• We will not compromise on privacy or individual rights
• We will not make it exorbitant and put it out of reach for those who need it most

To make sure we fulfil our purpose, we need to see the impact of our efforts and the difference it make to everyone's lives. We will be overjoyed if:

• You use Medisha.com and it makes a difference to you or your family
• You find it useful and tell your friends and family to use it as well
• You find some issues and tell "us" about them

Our purpose: We want to be the best place for storing, managing, securing and using your health records. Your health record keeper.
