elth.ai ^Company

Elth.ai is an artificial intelligence-based med-tech startup that aims to solve health problem discovery and the absence of a 24×7 medical adviser. Founded by Srinath Akula, an IIM-Indore alumnus who worked with Flipkart earlier, and dental implantologist Akhila Srinath, it is attempting to bridge the communication gap between patients and doctors. When elth.ai was launched in January 2016, it had Android and iOS apps catering to dental problems. However, the founders soon realized that people don’t want to keep medical apps on their phones because of space constraints, and delete it immediately afterwards. Hence, they pivoted to a messenger-based platform and launched their first chatbot in September 2016.
