Jeeon

Jeeon’s mission is to upgrade rural pharmacies, which serves as the first-point-of-care for 40-80% of health visits in most developing countries, in order to improve access to quality care for underserved rural populations. Over last 4 years, Jeeon has built and tested a telemedicine platform that has served ~10K patients with complicated conditions.
