MediBuddy, India’s largest digital healthcare company, has announced a strategic partnership with ELECOM, a leading Japanese electronics company, to introduce innovative smart health IoT devices in India. This collaboration aligns with MediBuddy’s mission to provide high-quality healthcare solutions to a billion people, focusing on innovation in preventive health management.
Focus on Integrated Healthcare Solutions
In the initial phase of their partnership, the two companies will focus on launching integrated healthcare solutions powered by ELECOM’s advanced technology. This collaboration aims to improve healthcare accessibility across India, particularly in light of the growing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, which cause 6 million fatalities annually. By combining digital technology with healthcare products, ELECOM seeks to offer optimal solutions that safeguard health.
Bridging the Gap in Healthcare Accessibility
With India facing a shortage of healthcare professionals, digital healthcare solutions have become essential to ensure wider access to quality healthcare. This partnership will harness IoT-enabled devices to empower individuals in managing their health and prevent lifestyle-related diseases. By leveraging health and medical data from these devices, MediBuddy aims to provide personalized health insights and preventive care programs, ensuring better health outcomes nationwide.
Moreover, the data collected from these devices will be integrated into the MediBuddy app, allowing doctors to monitor and enhance patient well-being effectively. The aim is to make health management more convenient and targeted for individuals across India.

Digital healthcare is the future, and through this partnership, we’re combining MediBuddy’s extensive reach and healthcare expertise with ELECOM’s cutting-edge IoT technology to create a seamless healthcare ecosystem. This will make preventive healthcare more accessible, intuitive, and personalized for every Indian.”
Development of Tailored Products for Indian Consumers
In addition to launching IoT devices, the partnership will focus on developing products designed specifically for India’s unique healthcare needs. These products include weighing scales, body composition scales, and blood pressure monitors—key tools for daily health management. These devices will help people track their health and adopt healthy habits with ease.
