Bengaluru-based healthtech startup Dozee has recently implemented a significant workforce restructuring, resulting in the layoff of approximately 20% of its employees.
The move comes as the company recalibrates its focus and allocates resources strategically to meet evolving business needs.
Dozee Restructuring Decision
Around 40 to 50 employees across various teams have been affected by the layoffs. The restructuring primarily targeted roles in on-field operations, sales, marketing, and customer success.Â
While the reduction in workforce is significant, the company emphasizes that it is a natural part of its growth journey and necessary for realigning resources.

Business Priorities
Dozee’s decision to restructure aims to streamline its operations and enhance its competitive edge. The company intends to focus on three key areas:
HealthAI: Dozee recognizes the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming healthcare. By reallocating resources toward HealthAI, the startup aims to enhance its existing technology and develop innovative solutions for patient monitoring and diagnostics.
Clinical Research: Investing in clinical research allows Dozee to validate and improve the accuracy of its non-contact medical devices. By collaborating with medical professionals and institutions, the company can refine its offerings and contribute to evidence-based healthcare practices.
International Business Development: With growth in mind, Dozee is expanding its footprint beyond India. The startup has already made strides in the USA, UAE, and Africa. Its AI-powered ballistocardiography technology positions it as a global leader in HealthAI.

Dozee’s Journey and Technology
Co-founded by Mudit Dandwate and Gaurav Parchani in 2015, Dozee has been a trailblazer in the health-tech sector.
The startup’s core technology enables remote, contactless monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature.
By leveraging ballistocardiography—a technique that measures the mechanical vibrations produced by the heartbeat—Dozee provides early warning alerts to healthcare providers. These alerts aid in timely intervention and the prevention of health deterioration.
Despite its innovative approach, Dozee faced challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. As growth in the Indian market slowed, the startup shifted its attention to international markets, particularly the USA.Â
The layoff decision reflects the company’s commitment to staying agile and competitive in a dynamic industry.
