Acquisition expected to strengthen Practo’s offering to hospitals and bring onboard HIMS expertise across 15 countries
Healthcare platform, Practo has announced the acquisition of Insta Health Solutions, a provider of cloud-based hospital information management solution (HIMS).
Insta will operate as a separate division and will continue to be led by Ramesh Emani, Founder & CEO, Insta Health. Reportedly, the acquisition will provide an option to hospitals using Insta’s product to integrate with Practo’s platform and thus enable patients to search and easily find information about doctor availability across hospital and departments, instant bookings as well as no wait times or queues once they reach the hospital for their appointment. Patients will also be able to access all their health records post their discharge on Practo, either on the web or on the mobile app.
The acquisition is also expected to help accelerate Practo’s Partner Program that is designed to enable HIMS providers around the world to integrate with Practo’s platform to provide consumers a seamless healthcare experience, no matter which hospital they visit. Insta was one of the first few partners to come onboard on this programme.
“I am very pleased to welcome Ramesh and the Insta team to Practo. I look forward to working with them to transform the hospital industry globally and provide a great consumer experience by digitising records, removing wait times and queues, simplifying payments and more,” said Shashank ND, Founder & CEO, Practo
“We chose Practo over some other options as we felt we can together offer superior, comprehensive and integrated solutions for all participants in the healthcare ecosystem across patients, doctors and healthcare providers. Insta will benefit from Practo’s expertise in mobile technology and their geographic and global presence. I look forward to working with Shashank and the Practo team in realising our shared vision of transforming healthcare globally,” said Ramesh Emani, Founder & CEO, Insta Health
