BeatO: Diabetes Ko Harayein, Zindagi Ko Asaan Banayein!

In a city like Delhi, with a rapidly growing population, diabetes has become a pressing health issue, affecting millions. BeatO, a Delhi-based startup founded in 2015, has emerged as a transformative force in diabetes management, utilizing technology to offer a personalized, user-friendly approach to controlling blood sugar levels. The platform has grown rapidly, with over 1.5 million users across India, with a significant number in Delhi NCR, where lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes are most prevalent.

BeatO was founded in 2015 by Gautam Chopra, Yash Sehgal, Abhishek Kumar, and Kunal Kinalekar with a clear vision: to empower people living with diabetes through accessible and affordable digital health solutions. The founding team recognized that while diabetes affects millions across India, many patients lack consistent access to personalized care and real-time monitoring. BeatO set out to close this gap by integrating smart technology with expert healthcare services, enabling users to monitor their blood sugar, consult doctors, and receive timely support—all through a user-friendly mobile platform.

Revolutionizing diabetes care in India with AI-powered tools and personalized health solutions.

Core Services: A Comprehensive Diabetes Management Platform

BeatO has created a suite of services designed to provide users with the tools and support they need to manage their diabetes effectively:

BeatO provides a smart glucometer that syncs directly with the BeatO app, allowing users to track their blood glucose levels in real-time. With over 500,000 glucometers sold, this feature makes regular monitoring effortless and accurate.

The platform offers customized health plans, including diet, exercise, and lifestyle suggestions, tailored to each user’s specific needs. This is supported by a team of over 60 certified health coaches, nutritionists, and diabetes specialists.

BeatO users have access to over 200 certified doctors who specialize in diabetes care, offering consultations via video call or chat to ensure users receive timely medical advice and support.

By using artificial intelligence, BeatO analyzes the data collected from its users’ glucometers to provide actionable insights, improving their overall health management and helping them stay on track with their diabetes care plan.

Impact in Delhi: Improving Health Outcomes for Diabetics

BeatO’s impact in Delhi has been significant, providing a platform that makes managing diabetes more convenient and effective:

• Over 400,000 users in Delhi have benefited from BeatO’s services, with a marked improvement in their health outcomes.

• 85% of BeatO users report better control over their blood sugar levels after just 6 months of using the platform, with an average decrease of 1.5% in HbA1c levels (a key marker of diabetes control).

• High Engagement Rates: BeatO’s platform boasts an 85% user retention rate, showcasing the effectiveness of its services in helping users stick to their diabetes management plans over the long term.

Challenges and Future Growth

While BeatO has achieved considerable success, it continues to face challenges that are typical in the healthtech space:

• User Engagement: Keeping users consistently engaged with their health plans and tracking progress over time remains a key challenge, though BeatO is constantly innovating to improve the experience.

• Expanding to Rural Areas: Although BeatO has a strong urban presence, it faces the challenge of expanding to rural and semi-urban areas, where diabetes awareness and access to healthcare services are still limited.

• To overcome these challenges, BeatO plans to scale its operations by introducing new features like a mental health module, which will help users cope with the emotional and psychological challenges of living with a chronic condition like diabetes.

BeatO is not just a diabetes management app; it’s a powerful tool that empowers individuals to take control of their health, providing a tailored, tech-driven approach to managing diabetes. With its ever-growing user base, particularly in Delhi, BeatO is set to continue its journey of transforming diabetes care, offering a model that other healthtech startups could follow in India and beyond.
