🎯 Problem Statement

The Rural Healthcare Crisis

Rural healthcare in India faces a critical "last-mile" challenge that impacts over 900 million people. The statistics are sobering:

Geographic Isolation: Patients must travel 50+ km to reach district hospitals, consuming 6-8 hours and significant resources
No Digital Identity: There is no centralized medical history for patients, making continuity of care impossible
ASHA Worker Burden: Village health workers manage 1000+ patients with paper-based records and outdated tools
Prevention Gap: Reactive healthcare results in preventable diseases becoming emergencies
Verification Crisis: No standardized way to verify health compliance for social benefits

Impact

50% fewer preventive checkups compared to urban areas
3x higher mortality from preventable conditions
Massive data loss due to paper records degradation

💡 Solution Overview

SehatSetu (meaning "Health Bridge" in Hindi/Marathi) transforms rural health monitoring from reactive to proactive using a "Phygital" approach that combines physical and digital systems.

Core Innovation: The Three-Pillar System
