Why Nidaan 2026?
India's healthcare system is at a digital inflection point. While Tier 1 hospitals race ahead with AI and integrated HIS platforms, mid-sized and semi-urban facilities continue to struggle with the basics — adoption, literacy, and workflow fit.
Nidaan (नीदान) — meaning "diagnosis" in Hindi — challenges you to go beyond surface symptoms. This competition asks you to diagnose why digital infrastructure fails in resource-constrained settings, and design interventions that actually stick.
Nexora Care Hospital, a multi-speciality chain in Maharashtra, has made the capital investment — but its Tier 3 facilities in Satara, Kolhapur, and Solapur are still running on paper registers, verbal shift handovers, and handwritten discharge summaries.
Your task: advise Nexora's leadership on closing the digital adoption gap within 12–18 months, without additional capital expenditure.
