Fusemachines, the leading enterprise AI talent solutions provider, on Wednesday announced its partnership with UK-based health technology company UpaCare Health to form an interdisciplinary team for developing a comprehensive patient-centric and AI-powered digital health platform. 

The platform will include features that help patients and healthcare providers connect with each other, while providing an effective way to collect and manage patient data. “The platform will also enable customised patient communications systems, cross-collaboration across health care providers, automated health visits and prescription planning,” reads the statement released by Fusemachines.

Dr Sumitra Kafle, CEO and co-founder of UpaCare said that primary care, an integral part of community health, hinges on continued health promotion, chronic disease prevention and lifestyle management. “Unfortunately, in Nepal and other South Asian communities, this subset of medicine remains an afterthought with minimal infrastructure,” said Kafle. “We want to change that by offering a robust tech-based platform that makes primary care equitable and accessible while elevating patient and healthcare provider interaction.”

Similarly, Parag Shrestha, managing director, South Asia at Fusemachines said that AI and data are solving global issues, including healthcare needs in underserved markets. “We are excited to work with UpaCare to realise our shared vision of improved primary care in Nepal and beyond through data-enabled health insights, automation and efficient interactions between patients and healthcare providers.”
