Practo, a healthcare platform, has now enabled hosting Loop which is the country’s largest annual conglomeration of thought leaders in healthcare. Through the Loop, the company’s objective is to garner valuable insights on ‘Advancing Healthcare through Technology’.
 
Technology is yet to be leveraged by the healthcare sector to unleash its full potential to work towards a healthier world. Issues such as healthcare infrastructure, high disease burden, affordability and lack of awareness still plague the nation and technology can play a crucial role in effectively solving these issues. Loop was an effort towards facilitating conversations among visionary healthcare professionals, CXO’s, doctors and tech entrepreneurs, stated Shashank ND, founder & CEO, Practo.
 
Some of the key discussions at Loop revolved around ‘creating a successful tele-health network’, ‘bridging the gap between payers and providers’, medical regulations to name a few.
 
“Loop in New Delhi, depicted how healthcare providers in the country are utilizing technology and together we are unfolding a new chapter in the sector  by addressing some of the most crucial issues. Practo in collaboration with other healthcare stakeholders including hospitals, pharma and insurance will be able to solve the healthcare problem and give patients a chance to a healthier and longer life,” he added.
