Clinics on Cloud, a health tech company founded by Pune-based couple Abhay and Manashrri Agarwal, has announced the large-scale deployment of its AI-powered Health ATMs across underserved regions. A health ATM combines a physical kiosk with telemedicine and point-of-care devices designed to provide accessible and affordable healthcare.
Abhay Agarwal, founder and CEO of Clinics on Cloud, spoke about the urgent need to modernise rural healthcare. “India’s rural population often lacks access to timely diagnostic services, which delays treatment and increases health risks. Our Health ATM concept is designed to bridge this critical gap—bringing over 65 rapid diagnostic tests to the doorsteps of rural citizens,” he said. This comprehensive preventive health screening can be done in 10 minutes and can also help reduce medical costs, Agarwal added.
These AI-enabled Health ATMs can perform a wide array of health checks—from routine vitals and blood pressure to advanced screenings for diabetes, cardiac conditions, hemoglobin levels, and infectious diseases like dengue, malaria, Covid-19, and HIV. The tests include a general health check-up (body mass index, pulse, SPO2, body temperature, muscle mass, bone mass and so on), urine rapid test, ear and eye tests, pulmonary function tests among others. Reports are generated instantly, ensuring timely medical consultation through telemedicine, even in remote regions. Manashrri Agarwal, co-founder and Managing Director of Clinics on Cloud, added that the goal is to make preventive healthcare accessible, affordable, and accurate for every Indian—regardless of location.
“These Health ATMs have an accuracy rate of over 95% and operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional labs,” she said. In a unique collaboration with distribution partner DynaBlaze, Clinics on Cloud has engineered the Health ATMs to function without the need for electricity or internet, making them perfectly suited for deployment in electricity-deficient rural zones. The machines are available through EMI and rental options, also creating local employment opportunities by training health operators in villages.
Ajay Dhumane, spokesperson for DynaBlaze, said, “This is more than a healthcare solution—it’s a rural empowerment movement. By enabling easy ownership and operation of Health ATMs, we’re nurturing rural entrepreneurship while transforming public health outcomes.” According to Agarwal, till date, over 80 lakh individuals have benefited from this initiative, with 3000 Health ATMs installed in 150+ Indian cities and seven international markets.
