The social community platform will help to connect patients with similar medical conditions and empower them to share information and find emotional support
Ketto.org has introduced an app – ‘Healthnest’ to mark the celebration of its ninth anniversary. Healthnest is a healthcare community app developed for patients, caregivers, medical experts, and doctors. It is a social community platform to connect patients with similar medical conditions and empower them to share information and find emotional support. Ketto’s Healthnest app is a centralised platform to connect with people who have overcome similar health experiences. The app also enables its users to connect with medical experts and healthcare practitioners for any medical suggestions and second opinions.
Zaheer Adenwala, CTO and Co-founder, Ketto.org, said, “We are delighted to introduce Healthnest app to build a healthcare support community which enables individuals to connect with people who are suffering or have overcome a similar medical condition and empower patients and caregivers with informational and emotional support.”
Launched as a pilot project last quarter, Ketto’s Healthnest app recorded nearly 10 thousand installations with over 10 live communities on the app. Some of the major communities are ‘Buddy Circle’ which is India’s largest peer support network for mental health care and well-being, and ‘Ketto Changemaker’ which brings together individuals who contribute to providing quality medical care for underprivileged children every month through Ketto’s Social Impact Plan (SIP).
“Ketto.org has completed 9 years, we have hosted over 3.2 Lakh fundraisers and raised over INR 2000 crores. We have touched 80+ million lives with various campaigns, ranging from medical, social, education, animals to even personal causes, said Kunal Kapoor Actor and Co-founder, Ketto.org.
