Home is becoming an access point for care where digital therapeutics play a lead role: Srinivas Vivek, Co-founder, Resolute
Home is becoming an access point for care, and most of the low-acuity care will be shifted to home. Consumers are embracing whole person care, including wellness, along with virtual care. They are also becoming more proactive when it comes to their health.
Current challenges in implementing advanced technologies in healthcare?
The core challenge is that healthcare is a laggard when it comes to digital technology when compared to other verticals. Once initial inertia is overcome, it trickles down fast. Also, the structure of digital health means we can’t build and implement products as fast as other sectors due to clinical and safety validations. While these challenges persist, there is a global explosion of digital health technologies.
COVID-19 has ushered in an unprecedented transformation in the digital health ecosystem. How should we maintain this momentum?
There are a few fundamental shifts. Home is becoming an access point for care, and most of the low-acuity care will be shifted to home. Consumers are embracing whole person care, including wellness, along with virtual care. They are also becoming more proactive when it comes to their health.
How is Resolute making a difference?
Resolute's mission is to unlock the health potential of everyone. Resolute is an integrated digital health and wellness service covering precision wellness, continuous virtual care, and digital therapeutics for families. Resolute offers hyper-personalized health and wellness journeys that are intuitive, always-on, holistic, and outcome-focused through the "Whole of Me" approach. Most of the platforms turn on the typical 3 levers for health-doctors' consults, prescriptions, and diagnostics. Resolute's integrated service includes both wellness and care journeys. It includes optimising nutrition levels; improving sleep and recovery; personalised workouts; stress regulation; pre-emptive follow-ups; continuous health monitoring, etc.
We offer a full spectrum approach to health which includes two core products: Precision Wellness, a hyper-personalized wellness journey, and Active Care, which is a premium virtual care system that is always on and concierge-led. In the future, we are adding doctor-led programmes including cholesterol optimisation, gut health, metabolic health, etc., which is our new digital therapeutics service line.
How are you planning to scale the business and create sustainable long-term value?
Our core proposition is based on health and wellbeing outcomes through evidence and science. Also, we are one of the few players where there is hyper-personalisation for individuals. Most of the existing players pull any one of the levers, including medicine delivery, online consultation, or diagnostics, and not a construct like us, where there is a real user journey.
We want to work with millions of families as their well-being and care partners. By demonstrating financial and health outcomes for the ecosystem, we intend to become the cornerstone of the digital health ecosystem. We are setting our trajectory towards that.
