The Gap: Where do users store year-over-year longevity data? Market Opportunity: Be the long-term data layer for longevity clinics ^data-crisis

3. India as Longevity Hub

  • Bangalore = Top 5 global longevity hub

  • IISc Longevity India Initiative launched

  • BioPeak = India's first longevity clinic

  • $8.5B flowing into longevity globally, India positioned to capture share ^india-longevity-hub

4. Service-First, Records-Second Gap

Every category prioritizes services over data:

Category
Primary Focus
PHR Status

Healthcare platforms

Consultations

Afterthought

E-pharmacy

Medicine delivery

Order history only

Eldercare

Emergency services

Minimal

Longevity clinics

Diagnostics

Point-in-time

Opportunity: No one owns comprehensive health data management ^service-vs-records

5. Government Infrastructure Ready

  • 73+ crore ABHA IDs created (government PHR infrastructure)

  • ABDM infrastructure in place and operational

  • Consumer UX layer lacking - government apps have poor adoption

  • Opportunity: Build superior private experience on government rails ^abdm-opportunity

6. Retention Challenge in Health Apps

Market Validation

Existing Evidence

  • Eka Care, Driefcase raised funding → PHR demand validated

  • BioPeak generating 60GB/person → data storage need

  • Neko $1.8B valuation → longevity market real

  • 76 crore ABHA IDs created → infrastructure ready, UX gap exists ^market-validation

Our Evidence

  • Friends/family immediately ask: "Can I add my parents?"

  • Spreadsheet users for health tracking (painful workaround exists)

  • Strong interest when showing prototype

  • [Add: Pilot signups, waitlist numbers] ^our-validation

Risks & Mitigations

Risk 1: Low Willingness to Pay

Mitigation: Target chronic disease families first (high pain, proven willingness to pay for health) ^risk-wtp

Risk 2: ABDM Adoption Uncertainty

Mitigation: Build standalone value (OCR, family OS) independent of ABDM; ABDM is bonus, not dependency ^risk-abdm

Risk 3: Data Privacy Concerns

Mitigation: E2E encryption, local-first, transparent architecture; privacy as core differentiator ^risk-privacy

Risk 4: Competitive Moats

Mitigation: Family-first UX, India-specific features (pollution), longitudinal data accumulation, clinic partnerships ^risk-competition

Investment in Digital Health (India Context)

  • Post-COVID surge in digital health investment

  • Government Digital India initiative

  • Private sector partnerships with health systems

  • Growing VC interest in health tech ^funding-trends

Strategic Partnerships
