MedHugs: Prioritizing Empathy in Healthcare
MedHugs was founded to reintroduce empathy and patient-centric values into healthcare delivery. The company’s philosophy centers on addressing human suffering through solutions that prioritize care alongside data-driven results. The name ‘MedHugs’ reflects this commitment to providing supportive, compassionate care. Beginning from a promise to help his niece, a premie baby struggling with iron deficiency and vitamin deficiencies all her life. Her struggles of not able to take pills, gummies, or capsules. This promise is to help not just her but millions more suffering from the problem.
Co-founder and cousin of Dr. Joshi brings marketing and data expertise, ensuring that MedHugs’ strategies are informed by both patient experience and market dynamics. Together, they are building a platform designed to improve health outcomes by fostering trust and understanding between providers and patients.
Principled Growth and Future Direction
MedHugs emphasizes principled leadership, guided by the belief that meaningful healthcare innovation arises from understanding patient challenges deeply. The company plans to expand its offerings by developing scalable solutions that improve nutritional support and chronic condition management, with plans to collaborate with healthcare providers and institutions.
Dr. Joshi states, “MedHugs is founded on the principle that effective healthcare must be compassionate as well as clinically sound. Our goal is to develop products and services that truly meet patients’ needs, informed by frontline medical experience and rigorous research.”
