As the number of Covid-19 cases increases every day, healthcare professionals are racing against time and risking their lives to take care of others. India’s healthtech startups have also joined in the efforts by leveraging cutting-edge technology to beat the pandemic and its impact.

From creating Covid-19 trackers and cheaper ventilator designs to manufacturing ICU equipment, startups have been working relentlessly ever since the virus started spreading in India. They have been bringing unique propositions to the table to address some of the challenges faced by the healthcare system.
