Reimagining Healthcare from the Ground Up: Meet the 15 Trailblazing Startups of I‑HEAL @ ISB 3.0
From AI-powered diagnostics to smart wearable devices and maternal wellness solutions, 15 promising startups are leading a healthcare transformation in India—one innovation at a time. Backed by the flagship accelerator program I‑HEAL @ ISB 3.0, a joint initiative by Citius Tech and DLabs at the Indian School of Business (ISB), these ventures are shaping the future of affordable, accessible, and impact-driven healthcare.
Why I-HEAL Matters
India’s healthcare system, though rapidly evolving, still struggles with two major challenges—access and affordability. Vulnerable communities such as women, children, the elderly, and rural populations often face the brunt of this systemic gap.
Recognizing these needs, I-HEAL @ ISB was launched to support startups solving these very problems with technology-enabled healthcare solutions. Now in its third edition, the program offers deep acceleration support—spanning product development, clinical validation, regulatory guidance, funding access, and go-to-market strategy.
The cohort was selected following a rigorous nationwide screening process and culminated in a powerful Demo Day on March 24, 2025, where all 15 startups showcased their vision and early success.
