OTT platform Medisage to upskill healthcare professionals

In the 1980s, medical representative Bhagwat Dhingra came across an incident in which a tuberculosis patient was given the line of treatment for pneumonia which cost the man his life. The incident shook Dhingra, but it also served as an eye-opener on the dire need for upskilling medical practitioners in the country and to fill in knowledge gaps.

That insight helped him develop Medisage, an on-demand OTT global knowledge platform, along with Abhishek Ghosh in 2019. The platform intends to upskill healthcare practitioners and keep them abreast of the latest developments in the field, which includes new treatment protocols, emerging diagnostic techniques, research around new drugs and case-based discussions. Based out of Mumbai, Medisage launched its digital platform in April 2020.
