Reported by Kajal Bhukan
Pune, 14th July 2025: In a groundbreaking step toward transforming rural healthcare in India, Clinics on Cloud, a pioneering health-tech company founded by Pune-based couple Abhay and Manashrri Agarwal, announced the large-scale deployment of its AI-powered Health ATMs across underserved regions.
At a press conference held in Pune, Abhay Agarwal, Founder & CEO of Clinics on Cloud, emphasized the urgent need to modernize rural healthcare. “India’s rural population often lacks access to timely diagnostic services, which delays treatment and increases health risks. Our Health ATM concept is designed to bridge this critical gap—bringing over 65 rapid diagnostic tests to the doorsteps of rural citizens,” he said.
These AI-enabled Health ATMs can perform a wide array of health checks—from routine vitals and blood pressure to advanced screenings for diabetes, cardiac conditions, hemoglobin levels, and infectious diseases like dengue, malaria, COVID-19, and HIV. Reports are generated instantly, ensuring timely medical consultation through telemedicine, even in remote regions.
Manashrri Agarwal, Co-founder & Managing Director of Clinics on Cloud, stated, “Our goal is to make preventive healthcare accessible, affordable, and accurate for every Indian—regardless of location. These Health ATMs have an accuracy rate of over 95% and operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional labs.”
In a unique collaboration with distribution partner DynaBlaze, Clinics on Cloud has engineered the Health ATMs to function without the need for electricity or internet, making them perfectly suited for deployment in electricity-deficient rural zones. The machines are available through EMI and rental options, also creating local employment opportunities by training health operator in villages. “Even a 10th pass candidate who knows how to operate a smartphone can run this machine and earn his livelihood in the village itself, instead of migrating to the cities”, added Abhay Agarwal.
Ajay Dhumane, spokesperson for DynaBlaze, added, “This is more than a healthcare solution—it’s a rural empowerment movement. By enabling easy ownership and operation of Health ATMs, we’re nurturing rural entrepreneurship while transforming public health outcomes.”
To date, over 80 lakh individuals have benefited from this initiative, with 3000 Health ATMs installed in 150+ Indian cities and 7 international markets.
