Healthtech Startup Dozee Lays Off Several Employees in Restructuring Move

The layoffs, which took place last month, impacted staff across various departments, including on-field, customer success, sales, and marketing teams.

Healthtech startup Dozee has laid off around 40-50 employees as part of a recent restructuring effort aimed at reducing losses.

The layoffs, which took place last month, impacted staff across various departments, including on-field, customer success, sales, and marketing teams, according to an Inc42 report.

Sources cited in the report stated that the layoffs were not related to employee performance but were a cost-cutting measure.

Moreover, affected employees are expected to receive severance packages as per their notice periods. Before the layoffs, Dozee's workforce was reportedly around 250-270 employees.

However, a Dozee spokesperson denied the significant reduction in workforce, stating that the company was reallocating resources as part of its growth strategy.

The spokesperson emphasized a shift towards HealthAI, clinical research, and international business development, affecting only a "very small number" of employees.

"The figures you've referenced are entirely unfounded," the spokesperson added.

Founded in 2015 by Mudit Dandwate and Gaurav Parchani, Dozee develops a contactless patient monitoring system that allows healthcare workers to remotely monitor vital signs, including heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and temperature, with an early warning mechanism for detecting clinical deterioration.

Recent RPM Developments

In April, Bengaluru’s Jayadev Memorial Rashtrotthana Hospital & Research Centre adopted Dozee's advanced Al-based contactless and continuous patient monitoring and early warning system.

Healthtech startup Dozee’s advanced tech is a cloud-enabled solution that comes with a central and remote patient monitoring capability.

Apart from continuous monitoring, the AI-equipped advanced software can also offer timely medical interventions for improved patient safety and clinical outcomes.

Last year, Mangalore-based AJ Hospital and Research Centre adopted Dozee's advanced AI-based Contactless Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Early Warning System (EWS).

The hospital integrated Dozee's next-generation ambulatory-connected patient monitoring systems into non-ICU ward beds to leverage indigenous technology. This implementation allowed for continuous contactless monitoring of vital signs, emphasizing the hospital's dedication to elevating overall patient care standards.
