We are here!
January 2017 by Rik Katre & Madhureeta Bera



A group of college friends with the hope of having a start up of their own came across the problems faced by individuals in the healthcare sector.

Usually we have to search for good doctors, inquire about their fees, travel and wait to finally go through with a consultation. On doing so we need someone to accompany us and might even miss out on important work, all of this while we get annoyed waiting at the clinics. We couldn’t find a website which lets users choose the doctors they want for home visits, check if they are available and know the fees they charge for providing such services.

We miss out on so many doctors visiting our locations for specific time periods. But has anyone asked them if they are willing to do home visits on those areas too?

We did. We came up with a plan to list all the doctors travelling in various locations in the city and are available to do home visits on those locations. We wanted to be transparent in the fees they charge, the time period during which they are available for home visits and make individual profiles of them so that you can choose the healthcare service provider you want. Send an appointment request to the doctor, get notified when the appointment request is accepted and heal better at home.

We want to make healthcare easily approachable, simple, transparent and affordable. We connect you with the doctor of your choice for home consultation or through online chat basis. What more? You pay the doctor after the home consultation is done.

This is how Careist Started. With a hint of innovativeness we will be adding many new features and will expand to everything related to healthcare. We are sure exciting times are ahead of us!
