5C Network is a health technology company, with its headquarters in Bengaluru, that operates a teleradiology network.[3][4] It runs a cloud-based platform that routes medical imaging from hospitals and diagnostic centres to remote radiologists for diagnostic reporting.[5]

History

5C Network was founded by Kalyan Sivasailam[6] and Syed S. Ahmed[7] as an online medical diagnostics platform connecting hospitals and diagnostic centres with a network of radiologists.[3][8] According to the company, its name refers to five participants it aims to connect: patients, physicians, radiologists, hospitals, and artificial intelligence.[9][4]

In March 2022, the digital health platform Tata 1mg made a strategic investment in the company for an undisclosed amount.[10] In October 2022, 5C Network raised about US$4.6 million in a Series A round led by Celesta Capital, with participation from Unitus Ventures and Axilor Ventures.[11][12] In April 2024, it raised about US$3 million from the Redwood India Healthcare Fund.[13] The startup-data platform Tracxn records total funding of about US$12.1 million. The company has said its platform delivers radiology reports to about 2,000 hospitals and diagnostic centres across roughly 300 cities in India.[14]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 5C Network worked with the Defence Research and Development Organisation's Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR) and HCG Academics to develop ATMAN AI, an algorithm for screening chest X-rays for findings associated with COVID-19.[15] CAIR-DRDO reported that the algorithm achieved an accuracy of 96.73 per cent on a validation dataset of RT-PCR-positive hospitalised patients.[16][17][18]

Acquisitions and partnerships

In February 2023, 5C Network acquired Krayen, a healthtech company based in California that used computer vision and natural language processing, for an undisclosed amount.[19][20]

In January 2026, 5C Network and BPL Medical Technologies announced a partnership to develop BPL Cortex, an AI-enabled digital radiography product that integrates 5C Network's image-analysis software into BPL's X-ray hardware. The companies described it as the first original equipment manufacturer-embedded artificial intelligence of its kind within an imaging system in India. It was shown at the 78th annual conference of the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association in Hyderabad.[21]
