Practo
Bangalore, India-based startup Practo, which offers an app and web-based platform for people to access healthcare information and locate doctors, has raised $55 million in Series D funding in a round led by returning investor Tencent.
With every new innovator in digital health, it seems like there's a temptation to crown an "Uber for Health" that will disrupt the industry in a radical consumer-facing way.
Two important, but unrelated, international digital health transactions made headlines in the past week: China-based Quyi, which develops medical apps, raised $40 million, and India-based Practo, which offers a practice management tool and a doctor search engine, has acquired hospital data management offering Insta Health.
