DCode Care is an India-based cancer care discovery and patient-navigation platform that helps oncology patients and their caregivers identify suitable hospitals, oncologists, and diagnostic services matched to their specific cancer type, stage, and financial profile. Its core product is a Doctor Recommendation Engine that combines a 3-step guided intake (Cancer Details, Financial Coverage, Personal Preference) with a proprietary weighted algorithm scoring doctors and hospitals on experience, equipment, infrastructure, and treatment success rates, supported by an expert-reviewed dataset covering 30+ oncologists across 20+ hospitals in 5 cities (Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad). Adjacent products include a Hospital Search Platform, a Diagnostics Booking service offering imaging and pathology tests at up to 40% discount, a Medical Financing product providing instant loans and pre-approved loan cards in partnership with banks and fintech lenders, and an oncology content library spanning 11+ cancer types. The business model is B2C at the patient touchpoint (services are free) with revenue generated via referral and transaction-based arrangements with partner hospitals and diagnostic centres, complemented by a B2B2C channel positioning the platform as part of corporate employee cancer care benefits. The company is operated under Volo Health Services Private Limited and has raised seed funding co-led by Inflection Point Ventures and PointOne Capital, with participation from 100X.VC.
