More than 85% of world population lives in 153 low- and middle-income countries (LMICS) and a very significant percentage of people who have mental disorders are residing in LMICS, thus there is a pressing need for improvements in mental healthcare delivery systems for low resource and underserved areas.
Our resolve is to further augment the domain of digital healthcare and help to build an eco system that covers all healthcare stages and patient care with a special focus on technology that is adaptable and designed for low resource environments. We intend to facilitate and promote adoption of digital tools into the existing mental health care and research sector with particular emphasis on LMICS.
