Major Market Trends
1. Preventive Health Boom
Global longevity funding (2024)
$8.5B
+220% YoY
Neko Health valuation
$1.8B
Premium preventive care valued
Prenuvo revenue
$100M
Profitable at scale
Function Health members
100K+
Demand for biomarker tracking
Twin Health valuation
~$1B
Digital twin technology premium
What it means: Preventive/longevity health is the fastest growing category. AarogyaDost should position as longevity-first, not just PHR.
2. Data Generation Crisis
Companies generating massive data with no management solution:
BioPeak
60GB per person
None (clinic-based)
Neko Health
50M data points
Point-in-time reports
Function Health
100+ biomarkers
Annual snapshots
Prenuvo
Full-body MRI
PDF reports
Q Bio
Whole-body scans
Limited historical tracking
The Gap: Where do users store year-over-year longevity data? Answer: AarogyaDost
3. India as Longevity Hub
Bangalore = Top 5 global longevity hub
IISc Longevity India Initiative launched
BioPeak = India's first longevity clinic
Twin Health = India HQ for global operations
Growing health consciousness and aging population
4. Government Integration Becoming Mandatory
ABDM compliance required for scale in India
73 Crore+ users already on ABHA platform
DRiefcase success shows ABDM-first advantage
WeDoctor model in China shows government partnership value
5. AI Specialization Trend
General AI becoming commoditized (basic health insights)
Specialized AI commanding premium (Twin Health metabolic, Eka Care HealthBot)
Longevity-specific AI largely untapped in Indian market
Data network effects critical for AI improvement
$8.5B flowing into longevity globally, India positioned to capture share
4. Service-First, Records-Second
Every category prioritizes services over data:
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.
5. Government Infrastructure Ready
73+ crore ABHA IDs created
ABDM infrastructure in place
Consumer UX layer lacking
Opportunity: Build superior experience on government rails
6. Retention is the Challenge
Fitness apps
70-80% in 3 months
Motivation fades
Diet apps
Similar
Behavior change hard
PHR Solution: Records don't expire. Permanent value = better retention.
