Gagan Kapur
Co-Founder & CEO
Wielding the power of AI by blending medical understanding with analytics, EBH.Life, arguably,one of India’s first and largest online healthcare services aggregator, is on a mission to aggregate One Million individuals and their Health Data within the next twenty-four months. It aims to then use AI & Data Sciences to find patterns in this Health Data, that results in better Healthcare Management for those individuals.‘Can we help them live to a 100?’ is a driving agenda for the EBH Team.
Voluntary, Verifiable and Valid Health Data is the cornerstone of what EBH is attempting and in this pursuit, it is lazer focused on delivering 'value' to these One Million individuals. It started by partnering with 669+ Healthcare Service Providers (HSPs) such as diagnostic centres, clinics and hospitals across 11,000+ locations in India, and securing a ‘best price guarantee’ from these. The Consumers find ‘never seen before’ pricing on healthcare services that range from Preventive Healthcare Management Services, to planned Hospitalisation procedures. That coupled with some seriously AI Driven Health Dashboard analytics has helped EBH quickly acquire over 60,000 individuals and they are well on their way to cross the 100,000 mark by Jan 2019.
Overseen by Gagan Kapur(Co-Founder & CEO),a Healthcare and
Insurance industry veteran, EBH is driven by a vision to become the World’s most Trusted, Consumer-Health-centric Company.

Deploying the best of AI, we plan an outcome-based approach to manage consumers’ health outcomes and also generate a simple to understand and visually attractive graphical analysis of their health status in a diagnostic report across our platform. Outcome-based approach, for instance, can guide our users on what tests they must be doing based on their age, gender, type of work and family history. While my team focuses on creating sensible and easy to understand data-driven design for the users, I assure that these designs and solutions reach out to happy users on time.
