Bringing Trusted, Transparent and Accessible Healthcare to Every Home

When a loved one returns home after a stroke, surgery or prolonged illness, the journey towards recovery does not end at the hospital. In many ways, a new and equally challenging phase begins.

Families suddenly face important questions: Who will provide daily care? Who will administer medication on time? Who will monitor the patient’s health? And, most importantly, how can families ensure that their loved ones receive safe and dependable care when they cannot always be present?

For families across India, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and smaller towns, finding reliable home healthcare support remains a significant challenge.

Through years of community engagement and healthcare-related initiatives with the Fularani Foundation in Odisha, we witnessed these challenges firsthand. We met families struggling to find trained caregivers, access essential medical equipment and arrange consistent rehabilitation services.

These experiences inspired us to establish Nursio Innovation Private Limited, with a simple mission: to make quality home healthcare accessible, reliable and transparent.

Understanding the Three Major Challenges in Home Healthcare

Limited Access to Verified and Trained Caregivers

Finding a dependable caregiver is often a difficult process. Many families rely on personal references, local contacts and informal networks, with limited access to documented background verification or evidence of professional training.

Entrusting a loved one’s health and well-being to someone requires confidence, accountability and professional competence. Families deserve a more structured and dependable approach to finding care.

Limited Transparency in Day-to-Day Patient Care

Once a caregiver begins working at home, families may have limited visibility into daily care activities, particularly when family members live or work in other cities.

Important questions often remain unanswered:

• • Were prescribed medicines administered on time?
  • Were vital signs monitored regularly?
  • Was the patient repositioned to help prevent pressure injuries?
  • Were changes in the patient’s condition communicated promptly?

Without structured reporting and communication, families can find it difficult to monitor the consistency and quality of care.

Fragmented Home Healthcare Services

Home healthcare often involves coordinating multiple service providers. Nursing assistance may come from one provider, medical equipment from another, and physiotherapy from an entirely different source.

This fragmented arrangement creates additional responsibilities for families, increases coordination challenges and can interrupt continuity of care.

We believe healthcare at home should be organised around the patient’s needs rather than forcing families to coordinate multiple disconnected services.

What Nursio Is Building

Nursio is developing an integrated home healthcare platform designed to connect patients and families with dependable caregivers, clinical nursing services, medical equipment and rehabilitation support.

Our approach focuses on three key pillars.

Building a Verified Local Caregiving Workforce

We aim to create meaningful employment opportunities by identifying and developing local talent from rural and urban communities across Odisha.

Through structured recruitment, appropriate training and verification processes, we are building a workforce of caregivers, patient care attendants and nursing professionals.

Our objective is twofold: to help families access dependable care and to create dignified livelihood opportunities for local communities.

Making Home Healthcare More Transparent Through Technology

Trust should be supported by accountability.

Nursio is working towards a technology-enabled care management system that can help families stay informed about service delivery through:

• • Caregiver attendance and visit tracking.
  • Patient vital-sign records.
  • Digital care documentation.
  • Service updates and visit reports.
  • Improved communication between families and care teams.

Our long-term vision is to make home healthcare more measurable, accountable and transparent while maintaining patient privacy and dignity.

Bringing Multiple Healthcare Services Under One Platform

Nursio aims to simplify the home healthcare experience by connecting families with essential services through a single service ecosystem.

• • Professional home nursing.
  • Patient care attendants and home caregivers.
  • Elderly and bedridden patient care.
  • Medical equipment rental and support, including hospital beds, wheelchairs and oxygen concentrators.
  • Home-based physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
  • Post-hospitalisation and recovery care.
  • Palliative and supportive care.

By bringing these services together, we aim to reduce the burden of coordination on families and improve continuity of care.

Taking Rehabilitation Beyond Major Cities

Recovery following a stroke, surgery or prolonged illness often requires consistent rehabilitation and professional guidance.

However, access to physiotherapy and rehabilitation services remains uneven, particularly in smaller towns where patients may need to travel considerable distances to receive regular support.

Nursio aims to bridge this accessibility gap by expanding home-based rehabilitation services and connecting patients with appropriate healthcare professionals.

We believe geographical location should not determine a patient’s opportunity to receive quality recovery support.

The Next Step: Building Smarter Home Healthcare

At Nursio, we believe technology should strengthen human care, not replace it.

Our next phase of development focuses on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), connected medical devices and digital patient monitoring into the home healthcare ecosystem.

With support from the Startup Odisha NBA grant, we are working towards developing two key innovations:

AI-Powered Care-Matching Engine

A technology-driven system designed to help match patients with suitable caregivers and healthcare professionals based on care requirements, skills, availability and location.

Smart Home Vital-Sign Monitoring Kit

A connected monitoring solution designed to measure important patient parameters, including:

• • Blood oxygen saturation (SpO■).
  • Blood pressure.
  • Pulse rate.
  • Body temperature.

Our proposed technology framework follows three stages:

SENSE

Connected devices collect relevant patient vital-sign information.

THINK

The system analyses available readings and identifies potential warning patterns based on configured thresholds and clinical protocols.

ACT

Relevant alerts and notifications are communicated to designated family members, caregivers and healthcare professionals for appropriate follow-up.

The first development phase is targeted for completion by February 2027. Subsequent phases are expected to explore integration with additional home healthcare equipment, including smart care beds and oxygen concentrators.

Our objective is to move towards a more connected, proactive and technology-enabled home healthcare environment.

Our Journey So Far

Nursio began its journey in Odisha, and the state continues to be at the heart of our mission.

We have already extended our services to more than 60 families across 10 districts, including Khordha, Bhadrak, Puri, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda and Jajpur.

Every family we serve strengthens our understanding of the practical challenges of home healthcare and reinforces our commitment to improving service delivery.

Nursio Innovation Private Limited is a DPIIT-recognised startup, registered with Startup Odisha and incubated at Startup Odisha O-Hub, Utkal University and Sri Sri University.

These milestones reflect our commitment to building a scalable, technology-enabled healthcare solution rooted in local community needs.

Our Promise: Nurturing Better Lives

The name Nursio represents our belief in nurturing better lives through accessible, dependable and compassionate healthcare.

We envision a future where families do not have to struggle to find a qualified caregiver, coordinate multiple healthcare providers or remain uncertain about the care their loved ones receive.

Whether a family lives in Bhubaneswar or a smaller town in Bhadrak, we believe everyone deserves access to safe, dignified and dependable healthcare at home.

Our mission is simple: to bring quality healthcare closer to every family, one home at a time.

If your family needs home healthcare support, or if you wish to join us as a healthcare professional, caregiver, institutional partner or supporter, we welcome the opportunity to connect.
