HealthCursor Consulting Group

HealthCursor Consulting is a global strategy consulting firm serving clients across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. HealthCursor was founded in 2013 when a small group of innovation-focused business executives realised an opportunity to provide research, advisory services, and implementation support to innovation in traditional industry verticles like Retail, Pharma, life sceinces, hospitals and healthcare in emerging markets. Soon the group grew to a pool of 200+ consultants across the globe and in 4 years we implemented more than 156 projects across 18 countries. We call ourselves a "Disruption Machine" that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network (over a few years or decades), displacing an earlier more expensive or redundant technology. However our disruption are driven by Value and aim at sustainability. We are also committed to sharing what we learn, developing "communities of practice" so that others in the field can learn from our experience. Our research and evaluation and program experts lead the industry, regularly publishing research reports in technical journals and other publications. We make these reports available here for individuals and organizations that are interested in value-added and evidence-based innovation. At HealthCursor, we host IDEALABS of tomorrow where we play with current technologies; incubate, test and learn, invest or help get into new markets with innovative business models. Through our leaders, we also serve as Jury to some of the renowned Innovation awards in the world. The Company won laurels and joined the Founding member team of mHealth Alliance and HIMSS Asia Pacific. Our services were recognized by the Honorable President of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee unveiling the Book on "Innovations in Healthcare" at ASSOCHAM India.
