Healthcare is facing a 3A Crisis
and we are here to solve it!
ACCESSIBILITY CRISIS
When You Need Medical Advice, Where Do You Turn? Millions lack access to timely, verified healthcare guidance.
It’s 2 AM. Your child has a high fever. Where do you go?
Most people turn to Google and make guesses about their health. Others wait days for appointments, letting conditions worsen. Some flood emergency rooms for non-emergencies.
The problem isn’t just inconvenience – it’s dangerous. Delayed care leads to complications. Language barriers prevent millions from understanding their own health needs.
- 77% of patients use search engines for health information before seeing a doctor
- Average wait time to see a primary care physician: 26 days
- 30-50% of ER visits are for non-emergency conditions
Quality medical guidance shouldn’t be a luxury available only during business hours.
AVAILABILITY CRISIS
Doctors Are Drowning in Paperwork. Healthcare providers spend more time documenting than healing
For every hour doctors spend with patients, they spend two more hours on paperwork. The result? Epidemic burnout, rushed appointments, and compromised care quality.
Medical professionals didn’t train for years to become data entry clerks. Yet electronic health records have become digital straightjackets, stealing time from what matters most: patients.
Key Statistics:
- 70% of physicians report burnout due to administrative burden
- Average 16 minutes per patient encounter spent on documentation
- Healthcare worker shortage worsens as professionals leave due to burnout
When doctors can’t focus on patients, everyone loses.
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
Healthcare Costs Are Breaking Families. Complex systems and hidden fees make quality care financially impossible
Even with insurance or government schemes, families face catastrophic healthcare expenses. Insurance policies are filled with exclusions and fine print. Hospital bills come with unexpected charges. Patients discover costs only after treatment begins.
The result? Families sell assets, take loans, or simply avoid necessary care. Over 60 million Indians are pushed into poverty each year due to healthcare costs.
- 65% of Indians pay out-of-pocket for healthcare expenses
- Healthcare expenses push 55 million Indians below the poverty line annually
- Only 20% of the population has any form of health insurance
- Average Indian family spends 11% of total expenditure on healthcare
Healthcare should heal, not bankrupt.

About us
We believe in transforming the healthcare experience for both doctors and patients by bridging the gap between traditional practices and modern technology. While industries everywhere are going digital, healthcare still lags behind  leaving doctors buried in admin work and patients struggling with adherence and misinformation. From stacks of paper files and missed reminders to unverified medical advice, the system often works against both sides of the consultation table.
Our platform, 1hat, is designed to solve these challenges with AI-powered support that is always doctor-led. Voice Health Records reduce documentation burden, adherence management keeps patients on track, and personalised AI doctor clones extend care without extending hours. For patients, this means clarity and continuous support; for doctors, it means more time for care and stronger outcomes.
We are dedicated to simplifying healthcare management, empowering doctors, and building deeper, more continuous patient-doctor relationships that deliver healthier results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this increase my workload?
No. 1hat is built to reduce your workload. Voice Health Records cut admin time, adherence is automated, and AI handles patient nudges. You focus on care, not clerical work.
How accurate are the auto-prescriptions?
Prescriptions are generated from your own medicine repo and speciality templates. Accuracy is 90–95%. You always review before finalizing.
Can patients misuse the AI doctor clone?
No. The clone is trained only on your protocols and style. For sensitive queries, you’ll be asked for approval before anything is sent. It’s an assistive tool — not a replacement.
What if patients don’t use the app?
Patients get nudges via WhatsApp and AI phone calls in Tamil/Indic languages. Even if they skip the app, they still receive reminders and follow-ups.

Yes. All data is encrypted, securely stored, and accessible only to you and your patients. Full medico-legal safety is built in.
