How Zipaworld Enabled Critical Healthcare Logistics During COVID-19

Noida-headquartered Vehant Technologies has developed a thermal imaging camera that can measure people's body temperatures in real time. The item also has a visual camera center that can detect whether a person is wearing a mask and adhering to social distancing.

The startup is aiding individuals with Covid-19 patients, providing assessments, scheduling beds, connecting them with plasma donors, and offering transport to healthcare facilities through its network of more than 3,400 rescues.


Each time India comes to grips with a substantial rise in coronavirus infections, an overloaded health care system, and a scarcity of essential medical supplies and equipment, startups are working night and day to address these problems.


Hyderabad-based StanPlus Technologies is offering 24/7 on-demand emergency response and clinical support to individuals. The startup is aiding people with Covid-19 by providing consultations, scheduling beds, connecting them with plasma donors, and offering transportation to healthcare facilities via its network of more than 3,400 ambulances.


To serve even more clients pan-India, it has also partnered with top hospitals and other service providers to cover lab tests and medication distribution. It is also setting up air ambulance transfers between different parts of the nation. StanPlus has supported more than 7,000 individuals affected by Covid.


“We are trying our best to alleviate the major concerns faced by the sector on the ground, which include the scarce schedule of innovative life assistance ambulances (ALS) and experienced paramedics. We find that our rescues are being occupied for longer durations to sustain critical individuals, because of the unpredictability involved in bed and oxygen accessibility at health centers,” founder and CEO Prabhdeep Singh informed FE.


Bangalore-based firm Predible is assisting large hospital medical facilities and standalone diagnostic labs in performing chest CT imaging, a critical tool for diagnosing and treating COVID-19 patients. The company has developed a product called LungIQ that enables radiologists to report COVID-19 chest CTs using artificial intelligence instantly. Upon uploading a chest CT scan, the software application instantly produces a record with the CT extent calculated according to the latest standards. The produced report is then evaluated and validated by the reporting radiologist.


The startup has refined over 80,000 CT research studies to date. “We are seeing a massive backlog of studies at healthcare facility sites, with records delayed by several days. The general workflow helps save time and cater to the massive concern of research studies daily,” CEO Suthirth Vaidya said.


A clutch of mid-sized startups in Gurgaon has launched ‘Mission Oxygen’, which aims to alleviate the shortage of oxygen supplies in Delhi-NCR medical facilities by importing 1,000-1,200 oxygen concentrators. The startup founders have raised ₹8.5 crore via the crowdfunding platform Ketto and have already procured 500 concentrators from China, which will be made available in healthcare facilities by Wednesday.

Zomato has entered into a comparable partnership with Delhivery to acquire oxygen concentrators.


Less than a year old, logistics startup Zipaworld is assisting pharmaceutical and medical product firms in providing Covid-related medications and various other supplies, including screening kits and devices, throughout India, stated Dr Ambrish Kumar, owner of Zipaworld and team chief executive officer at AAA2 Innovate. The firm, which handles air and road cargo transport, manages the entire shipment and distribution process for specific shipments through its own solutions and partnerships with its subsidiaries.


Noida-headquartered Vehant Technologies has developed a thermal screening camera that can measure individuals’ temperatures in real time. The product also has a visual camera center that can detect whether a person is wearing a mask and adhering to social distancing.


The company, which counts corporate workplaces including IOCL and public facilities among its clients, has received an order from RailTel to supply 100 units of its product, FebriEye, the company’s chief executive officer and founder, Kapil Badreja, stated. The company is installing the cameras at the New Delhi, Nizamuddin, and Prayagraj terminals over the next 2 to 3 weeks.


Another startup, MyHealthcare, has designed an app that enables COVID-19 patients in home isolation to connect with physicians and seek medical assistance. The application has built-in trackers for symptoms that alert users when an individual’s vitals are outside the allowable range. Clients can also order medications through the app and have them delivered to their homes.
