UK-based digital health company Care ADHD will open its first ADHD clinic in India in Bengaluru this October.
The announcement follows the recent inauguration of the company's 140-seat Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, officially opened by Owen Richards, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Deputy High Commission Bengaluru.
The plan to open the clinic shows Care ADHD's is committed to build both technology and healthcare capabilities in India.
The Bengaluru clinic will provide comprehensive ADHD services, including assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and ongoing care, supported by digital platforms developed by Care ADHD's engineering and product teams in Bengaluru.
“Eleven months ago, we had a handful of desks in Bengaluru and a lot of ambition,” said Mark Pattison, Chief Executive Officer of Care ADHD.
“Today we have a 140-desk centre that is central to how the entire company runs, and from October we will begin seeing patients here in India. Bengaluru is not a back office for us. It is one of our two homes, and the talent here is building capability we could not build anywhere else.”
In the UK, Care ADHD is regulated by Care Quality Commission (CQC) and is a partner of the National Health Service (NHS).
The company delivers the entire ADHD care pathway through an integrated digital-first care model.
Care ADHD Chief Technology Officer James Whitebread said: "We chose Bengaluru because of its exceptional engineering and product talent.
"Our technology teams here are building the platforms that support thousands of patients in the UK today. Opening our first clinic in Bengaluru is the natural next step as we bring our proven clinical model closer to patients in India."
Owen Richards, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Deputy High Commission Bengaluru, said: "By bringing together decades of UK expertise in neurodevelopmental care with India's growing healthcare ecosystem and clinical talent, the company demonstrates how collaboration between our two countries can deliver meaningful social impact while expanding access to quality mental healthcare."
The company's expansion to a larger office and the future clinic are expected to create highly skilled jobs across engineering, data, cybersecurity, IT operations, and clinical services, while strengthening collaboration between healthcare professionals and technology teams.
