About us

Hi, I am Dr. Manish Barman MD, and for over two decades, I have been a physician. My journey has taken me from the bustling wards of rural India to the forefront of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, an Ivy League institution, through the rigorous halls of the Department of Health Policy at London School of Economics UK, an institution ranked among the world's best for social sciences and many other brilliant health care institutions in between. I've had the privilege of being an ad hoc advisor to the Royal College of Physicians on the future of digital health, getting published in medical journals, an author of two books on longevity and mindfulness, and editing global health journals at Stanford and Oxford academic. But throughout this incredible journey, one thing has remained constant: my identity as an Indian doctor, deeply connected to the health of my people.

And I saw a problem. A problem that wasn't about a lack of good doctors or effective medicines, but about a system that was broken.

I remember a patient, let's call him Mr. Anand. A kind man in his late 50s, a diabetic with a heart condition and the early signs of kidney trouble. He was seeing a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and a nephrologist. He was juggling three different sets of prescriptions, three different dietary plans, and a mountain of conflicting advice. He came to me not just with physical ailments, but with a look of utter exhaustion and confusion. His wallet was lighter, but his health wasn't better. He was lost in the system, a collection of symptoms and lab reports, not a whole person.

At the same time, his wife, a firm believer in traditional practices, was encouraging him to try alternative remedies. But they were navigating a minefield of questionable advice from the internet and unverified practitioners. They were scared – scared of interactions, scared of doing more harm than good. They were seeking holistic care but found chaos instead.

This wasn't an isolated case. I saw it everywhere. I saw patients with chronic illnesses drowning in fragmented care. I saw people seeking wellness and longevity being sold false hope in a bottle. The system was designed for "sick care," not "well care." It was reactive, not proactive highlighting the staggering cost of this inefficiency.

But it was the faces of patients like Mr. Anand that haunted me. I knew I had to do more. I had to build the bridge.

That is why I created LyfeMedix.

LyfeMedix is the culmination of my life's work. It is the promise I made to myself and to every patient like Mr. Anand. It is not just an app or a website; it is a new philosophy of care, built for India and Inspire the World.

Imagine a world where Mr. Anand has one single dashboard – his "Lyfe-Chart." It builds on his genes- his identity, and brings together his reports from every specialist, tracks his blood sugar, muscle mass, fat percentage, bone mass, hydration levels, BMI and other vital parameters from his home, and integrates his prescriptions. Our AI, built on evidence-based medicine, flags a potential drug interaction, and his dedicated LyfeMedix Care Team – his doctor, his nutritionist, and his mental health coach – are on the same platform. They work together, seeing the same complete picture of Mr. Anand.

Now, imagine his wife can use LyfeMedix to connect with a vetted, highly qualified AYUSH doctor or any alternative practitioner for a consultation. This doctor sees Mr. Anand's allopathic treatment plan and can safely recommend complementary therapies that support his health without interfering with his primary care. He’s no longer just managing a disease; he’s building a personalized, holistic plan for his well-being.

This is not a distant dream. This is LyfeMedix. It's a place where we use cutting-edge genetic testing to create personalized prevention plans, helping you not just add years to your life, but life to your years. Building your Health span. It’s a platform that empowers you with knowledge, supports you with a dedicated team, and respects the wisdom of both modern science and traditional healing.

I didn't create LyfeMedix to be just another telehealth company. I created it to fix a broken promise. To put you, back at the centre of your own health journey. To build a healthier, longer-living India, one person at a time.

This is my dream and mission. Welcome to LyfeMedix!
