I am a Bengaluru-based digital health and public policy analyst with 14 years of experience tracking how technology changes healthcare delivery in India. My work sits at the intersection of health-tech, telemedicine, AI-enabled diagnostics, patient data privacy, insurance platforms, and public health programs. I have advised hospital networks, early-stage startups, and education initiatives on evidence-based communication, regulatory trends, and user trust. For editorial coverage, I focus on making complex developments understandable for readers, from Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission updates and wearable health devices to medical learning platforms, rural care models, and responsible AI adoption. I also write about the practical challenges clinicians, students, patients, and founders face as digital tools move from pilots to everyday use.
