Building UnMedIQ.

Helping independent doctors manage prescriptions, patients & clinics—without the complexity.

Building in public 🇮🇳

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

This is exactly why we stopped trying to get into hospitals and started building directly for the solo practitioner instead.
No procurement committee, no compliance review board, no six-month pilot approval process.

Just a doctor with a phone, a problem, and a willingness to try something that actually fits their day.
The innovation ecosystem in Indian healthcare will not come from hospital corridors. It will come from the 13 lakh independent doctors nobody is building for.

For #doctors currently using digital prescription tools, did the platform ever ask for your registration number before letting you prescribe? Genuinely want to know how common this is.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

Any app can let a user sign up, most do.

You enter a name, an email, and a password.
The app does not ask if you are actually a doctor, it does not check, it does not need to.

UnMedIQ does things differently.

When a doctor signs up, their NMC registration number is required, and until that number is manually verified, the account is marked as unverified, visible on the doctor's own screen.

Saving and printing prescriptions stays locked until verification clears.

Because healthcare is not a space where we can afford to assume.

A prescription carries a doctor's name and registration number, that name and number should mean something.

So if you are a registered #solopractitioner in #India, https://t.co/nfbjwdJIVM was built to take your credentials seriously.

I could have skipped this step.

Verification slows onboarding, but most software does not bother, it was added anyway because the moment a tool is used to write clinical prescriptions, the bar changes. Speed of signup is not the right metric anymore

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

Most people think verification protects the platform, it actually protects the patient. A prescription with an unverified registration number is a prescription nobody can trace back to a licensed doctor. That is the gap this closes.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

The FDE model works beautifully when the client has infrastructure to deploy into. The harder problem is building for the doctor with no infrastructure at all, no IT team, no server room, just a phone, the deployment has to be invisible. That is a different kind of engineering discipline entirely.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

Nobody suggested it, it accumulated. One generation of doctors survived it and called it training. The next generation inherited it and called it normal. And somewhere along the way the system stopped asking whether it was either.

Rest is not weakness. It is the difference between a diagnosis made clearly and one made at hour thirty four.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@Walk_yea The documentation part is everything. What happened before the patient arrived is often the most important clinical context and the hardest to prove later if it was never written down.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

Communication does not end when the patient leaves the room. The prescription they take home is the last thing the doctor ever says to them about that visit. If it is illegible, in a language they cannot read, with no follow-up the conversation failed even if the consultation felt fine.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@16vchq A few times, but more than 2 times, it's part of the process, really.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@dr_murselguler In India, the exhaustion does not end after residency. A solo practitioner seeing 40 patients a day, writing every prescription by hand, with no support staff and no system built for them that is not a training phase. That is the career.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@thepublicdoctor The system was not built with the doctor in mind. That has always been the starting point for everything we try to fix.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

The clinic closed an hour ago, the last prescription was written at 2:17 PM.

By that point, the handwriting had been going on for five hours.

The pharmacist will interpret what they can and guess the rest.

With 35 patients, and 4 minutes of writing each, that is over 2 hours not diagnosing, not listening, not treating anyone, just writing.

Not because he is slow, but because the pen is.

Now, calculate how many hours handwriting takes you each month, then ask whether those hours should belong to paperwork or patients.

@16vchq C.

Because in healthcare, especially in India, distribution is the actual moat.
The best product loses to the one already recommended in the WhatsApp group as peer trust travels faster than any feature.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@VaibhavSisinty In healthcare the question gets harder, the intelligence isn't just on your hardware it is in your patient data. DPDP in India puts that ownership squarely on the doctor, not the vendor.

Most clinic software was never designed with that in mind.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@Chulbulpanda420 150 patients a day means 150 prescriptions written by hand at 3 minutes each, that is 7 to 8 hours of documentation on top of the clinical work itself.

The system extracts everything and calls it dedication butat that volume, how are you actually managing the prescription load?

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@Layan_Aldihan The numbness is not indifference.
it is what happens when the system asks you to absorb more than any person should.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

The answer doesn't change, but when the question changes, everything does applies inside the consultation too.

The prescription is the doctor's final answer to everything discussed in that room, I'm curious to know how it's written, is it legibly, in a language the patient reads, with instructions they can follow, this can determine whether the right answer actually reaches them.

The prompt matters on both sides of the conversation.

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

@microlittman 120 patients in one OPD day is a different kind of clinical pressure.
At that volume, what does your prescription process actually look like? handwritten, typed, something else?

[Amit Dusane @theamitdusane]

Somewhere in #Maharashtra right now, a #solodoctor is opening his medical association newsletter, which features #ABDM compliance for the third time this year.

He closes the tab and tells himself he will look into it next week, fewer than half of #India's registered doctors have enrolled in the National Healthcare Professional Registry. https://t.co/Rn2sfepnsi

#Bihar already stopped asking nicely. The state mandated #ABDM compliance for hospitals on government health schemes, 90% of OPD registrations there are now digital but a year earlier it was 4%.

That is how fast eventually becomes now.

UnMedIQ's database is already built to plug into ABDM, so doctors using it now will not have to migrate anything when the time comes.

You do not have to close that tab a fourth time, start now, while it is still your choice at https://t.co/nfbjwdKgLk
