About Bite2Care™

An India-led initiative for snakebite readiness.

Bite2Care™ is an initiative of Infiniqo™, created to strengthen readiness and response across the journey from snakebite to appropriate care. It is being formed, led and governed in India, with a multidisciplinary team based in India and the support of India's healthcare, public-health, academic, technology and community ecosystem.

India carries one of the world's highest burdens of snakebite — making it an essential environment in which to understand the realities of response, from community awareness and first response to transport, referral, hospital preparedness, clinical care and recovery.

Developed in India, for India first.

Global challenge

Wellcome Snakebite Innovation Prize

Bite2Care™ is participating in the Wellcome Snakebite Innovation Prize – Launch Track, a global challenge seeking innovative solutions to improve outcomes for people affected by snakebite.

Our purpose

Snakebite response is more than the availability of treatment.

A person experiencing snakebite may depend on a series of people and systems — family and community members, frontline health workers, transport and referral teams, healthcare facilities and clinicians — before appropriate care is reached.

Bite2Care™ is being created to help strengthen how these parts of the response system prepare, coordinate and work together — through scenario-based readiness, structured decision support, preparedness assessment, referral and coordination tools, and measurable readiness indicators.

PreparedConnectedVisibleMeasurable

Bite2Care™ does not replace healthcare professionals, public-health authorities, emergency transport systems or established clinical protocols. It is designed to strengthen the readiness and coordination layer around them.

An initiative of Infiniqo™

Technology and innovation lead.

Bite2Care™ was initiated by Infiniqo™, an innovation and technology company focused on building readiness-driven systems that help people and organisations prepare for and respond to high-consequence situations. Infiniqo™ brings capabilities in immersive scenario-based learning, readiness assessment, decision-support systems, digital platforms and applied artificial intelligence.

The long-term development of Bite2Care™, however, is intended to be collaborative. Snakebite is a complex public-health challenge that cannot be addressed by technology alone. Clinical expertise, public-health leadership, community knowledge, research, implementation experience and government participation are all essential to building a solution that is safe, credible and sustainable.

Our consortium

Building Bite2Care™ together.

Bite2Care™ is being developed as an India-led collaborative initiative, bringing together expertise across technology, clinical medicine, snakebite response, public health, research, community engagement and implementation. The consortium is designed around a simple principle: no single organisation can solve the snakebite challenge alone.

Each member contributes distinct expertise to help ensure that Bite2Care™ is clinically responsible, operationally relevant, evidence-informed and grounded in the realities of communities and healthcare systems in India.

Public-health organisations and government stakeholders
Alignment with existing snakebite programmes, referral networks and health-system priorities.
03
Community and implementation organisations
Culturally appropriate, accessible solutions grounded in local realities.
04
Healthcare facilities and emergency-response partners
Validation of facility readiness, referral pathways, handoffs and coordinated response.
05
People and communities affected by snakebite
Lived experience informing how Bite2Care™ is designed, tested and improved.

Governed in India · Built through partnership

India first. Designed to travel.

Bite2Care™'s first responsibility is to build something that works within the realities of India. Expansion beyond India will not be based on exporting an application — it will require partnership with local stakeholders and adaptation to each country's healthcare pathways, languages, communities, clinical guidance and public-health systems.

Formed in India

The initiative is created and constituted in India.

Governed in India

Indian clinicians, researchers and institutions shape its direction.

Validated with the Indian ecosystem

Tested in real communities, facilities and referral networks.

Adapted internationally

Through partnership with local stakeholders in other endemic regions.

Build in India. Validate in India. Scale through partnership.

India first · Evidence first · Partnership always

Our commitment

Technology should strengthen the people responsible for snakebite response — not replace them.

We are committed to responsible innovation, clinical governance, community participation, data protection, measurable impact and continuous learning as Bite2Care™ progresses from concept to validation and, ultimately, wider implementation.
