Lavanya R

Aiming to raise awareness about telemedicine and non-communicable diseases, Lavanya co-founded Tele-Upchaar at the age of 16. Tele-upchaar’s main goal is to provide the best care in the easiest way possible for those who have limited access to basic healthcare facilities. Telemedicine as a concept involves getting people from rural areas and inaccessible areas connected with doctors without them travelling large distances. As of Dec 2020, the team has supported over 200 patients with low access to primary healthcare in under-resourced senior citizens homes and inner-city slums.
