EVIDENCE-BASED PERIOPERATIVE & DENTAL RECOVERY NUTRITION

What if nutrition could become part of recovery?

PlatinoHealthcare is building an evidence-based, water-based nutrition system designed around the clinical realities of surgery — from pre-operative preparation to post-operative recovery and dental healing.

Patients drink something during recovery.
Why shouldn’t it do something?

Hospital patients can spend days or weeks relying on water, liquids or improvised nutrition during clinically important recovery windows. PlatinoHealthcare asks whether the liquid patients already consume could be designed around the nutritional requirements of recovery.

01The Gap

The problem is documented. The scale of it isn't public yet.

Hospital malnutrition in India and other LMICs is well-studied — and still unaddressed by any standardized product. Some of what we found, we're keeping for the room.

60%

of geriatric surgical patients in India are malnourished pre-op

2.2x

longer hospital stays for malnourished vs. well-nourished patients

Ask Us

the real annual cost of hospital malnutrition in India — and how we sized it

Ask Us

the Asia-region economic burden, and what share is recoverable by year 3

"Current care is informal, undosed advice — no protocol behind it."

One clinical problem. Two very different patients.

General Surgery

Pre-op →Surgery →Early Recovery →Rehab

Dental & Maxillofacial

Procedure →Liquid Window →Soft Diet →Healing

Ten formulas. We're only naming five here.

Every formula is built against a specific point on the recovery timeline — not a one-size-fits-all shake.

Indicative pricing per 200ml, subject to manufacturing validation. Competitor-by-competitor comparisons live in the deck.

Target Price

Position

General surgery formulas

₹120–200 / 200ml

Meaningfully below current import-priced alternatives — deck has the exact multiple, formula by formula

Dental & maxillofacial formulas

₹40–170

Priced against improvised workarounds — there's no real competitor product to compare against

One of our five general-surgery formulas prices 8–10x below its closest competitor. We'll tell you which one, and why that's sustainable rather than a red flag.

04Scalability

One number is real. The rest is behind the door.

No dedicated dental-recovery ONS product exists — India or globally, across any formula. Here's how big that gap is.

55M+

eligible patients per year for Formula A — pre-op carb loading, general surgery, India only.

30M+

eligible patients per year for dental Formula A alone — and there's currently zero dedicated competitor product serving any of them.

What's Already Done

✓All 10 formulas fully designed, both categories
✓17+ peer-reviewed sources backing every ingredient
✓15 of 50 target doctors reviewed & signed in support
✓Manufacturing cost and target pricing established

What's Ahead

→Lab trials — stability, taste, and safety testing
→Clinical trials — patient-level validation
→FSSAI Food for Special Dietary Uses registration
→First hospital pilot study

We turned down more formulas than we kept. Ask which one we killed, and why.

The next step is validation.

PlatinoHealthcare is raising pre-seed capital to move its evidence-backed, fully formulated platform through laboratory validation, clinical validation, regulatory execution and initial hospital and dental pilots.
