Bangalore based Yos Technologies, an emerging startup in the Healthcare IT domain, has announced that it has secured its first round of funding to the tune of $1.25M from Rajesh Jain, well-known entrepreneur and technologist (who founded IndiaWorld in 1995, and sold it to Sify in 1999 for $115M, in one of Asia's largest Internet deals) and Dr Aniruddha Malpani, a leading consultant infertility specialist, and a pioneer in Patient Health Education.

Yos Technologies is founded by Vijaya Verma, a technologist and entrepreneur, with a total work experience of 24 years in the IT industry. Prior to founding Yos Technologies, Vijaya was the founder and chief force behind Alopa Networks, one of the earliest companies providing end-to-end OSS product solutions in the broad band space. Alopa became one of the top three broad band OSS vendors within 3 years and its flagship product has over 50 customers across the globe.  

Yos Technologies has been set up with the aim of mitigating the issues faced by consumers and providers in the Healthcare industry, through an innovative ‘merger’ of IT / Communication Technologies and Healthcare services.

Announcing the funding, Vijaya Verma, Founder and CEO, Yos Technologies said ”The Company is  focused on enabling "Continuous Care" for consumers through its  e-Health Gateway that seamlessly inter-connects consumers and Healthcare providers through a secure consumer-owned Personal Health Record system that can be accessed anytime, anywhere using Internet and Mobile Technologies”.

“The market for “e-Health” technology is approaching a tipping point, and the timing is just correct for the deployment of a truly patient-centric offering, based on state-of-the-art technologies, that can be utilized to create a revolution in the Healthcare industry” added Vijaya Verma.
