Clinics on Cloud Expands Rural Healthcare with Health ATMs

These AI-enabled Health ATMs can perform a wide array of health checks from routine vitals to advanced screenings for diabetes, cardiac conditions, hemoglobin levels, and others.

Pune-based Clinics on Cloud, a healthtech startup, has announced the large-scale deployment of its AI-powered Health ATMs across underserved regions.

A health ATM combines a physical kiosk with telemedicine and point-of-care devices designed to provide accessible and affordable healthcare.

These AI-enabled Health ATMs can perform a wide array of health checks from routine vitals to advanced screenings for diabetes, cardiac conditions, hemoglobin levels, and infectious diseases like dengue, malaria, COVID-19, and HIV.

Abhay Agarwal, founder and CEO of Clinics on Cloud, spoke about the urgent need to modernise rural healthcare and said, “India’s rural population often lacks access to timely diagnostic services, which delays treatment and increases health risks. Our Health ATM concept is designed to bridge this critical gap, bringing over 65 rapid diagnostic tests to the doorsteps of rural citizens.”

Agarwal added that this comprehensive preventive health screening can be done in 10 minutes and can also help reduce medical costs.

Manashrri Agarwal, co-founder and MD of Clinics on Cloud, said, “These Health ATMs have an accuracy rate of over 95% and operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional labs.”

Collaboration With DynaBlaze

In a unique collaboration with distribution partner DynaBlaze, Clinics on Cloud has engineered the Health ATMs to function without electricity or internet, making them ideally suited for deployment in electricity-deficient rural zones.

The machines are available through EMI and rental options. Training health operators in villages also creates local employment opportunities.

Ajay Dhumane, spokesperson for DynaBlaze, said, “This is more than a healthcare solution, it’s a rural empowerment movement. By enabling easy ownership and operation of Health ATMs, we’re nurturing rural entrepreneurship while transforming public health outcomes.”

According to Agarwal, over 80 lakh individuals have benefited from this initiative to date, with 3000 Health ATMs installed in 150+ Indian cities and seven international markets.
