When a family member falls badly ill, it turns your own world upside down. A never-ending cycle of doctors’ visits begins, each with its own set of prescribed medications and treatments.
Each specialist operates on their own with their specialist advice. Who is there to provide a holistic view? Conflicting medications, overlapping treatments, and a frustrating lack of progress take their toll.
This is the story of Ajay Narula, the Creator and Mentor-in-Chief behind Bloom. For Ajay, the final straw came when a particularly adverse reaction landed him in the hospital, a stark reminder of the fragmented nature of his healthcare journey.
Lying in his hospital bed, Ajay, a passionate IT professional, drew parallels between the interconnected systems he worked with daily and the isolated islands of his healthcare experience. And there was born Bloom…
Determined to spare others the challenges he faced, Ajay envisioned a mobile healthcare application that would empower patients to take control of their health.
Bloom, he decided, will be your digital sanctuary where health records could blossom in unison, providing a single, comprehensive view of a patient's health journey. The app facilitates seamless integration from healthcare providers, allows for easy tracking and management of medications, and provides patients with insightful analytics impact on their health.
Since the beginning of time, women have been nurturing families. Bloom recognizes them as the centrifugal force around which the family’s universe revolves. She is the natural caregiver across all generations within the family unit and Bloom empowers her to manage everyone’s health from the palm of her hand.
Since women are at the heart of Bloom, it was obvious that they would be at the helm as well. Founders Madhvi Thakkar and Anisa Daftari combine their respective expertise in technology and medicine along with empathetic leadership as the driving force behind Bloom.
Madhvi’s skills in information technology and entrepreneurship help her envision a future where everyone, regardless of gender or background, has access to resources and opportunities to thrive in their health journeys. Through Bloom, she is dedicated to fostering a community where women are not only supported but also encouraged to pursue their passions and realize their full potential.
“I know firsthand that when the health of yourself or a loved one gets impacted life goes for a toss. The family’s peace, professional life, and finances all get hit making life complicated to navigate. Bloom helps in being proactive and consciously managing better health care, avoiding chaos in your time of need."
Anisa Daftari is a physician assistant with vast experience in the care of patients, operating room, health management, electronic medical records, allergy, and research. She has helped develop numerous systems for the implementation of EMR that have resulted in better patient care with the latest technology available.
“I believe Bloom will transform the healthcare of each person who uses it by empowering them to take control of their own and their families’ health.”
Dr. Tapan Daftari has more than 25 years years of experience in orthopedic spine care. He has made it a habit to be on the list of Top Doctors in Orthopedic Surgery year after year besides several other accomplishments. Besides his stellar credentials as a super-specialist, Dr. Daftari is passionate about perfecting health system safety. You know you’re doing something right when he chooses to be your lighthouse, shining light on the gaps existing in the consultations between doctors and their patients.
“I believe Bloom will help empower patients to take charge and consolidate their medical records, arming doctors with vital information for more accurate diagnosis and advice.”

An adult dependent must authorize and approve a request to add them as a dependent to your Bloom account. If the dependent is a minor or a pet then by adding them you are authorizing to Bloom that you are either the natural parent or legal guardian.
