The path from a solo prototype in Southeast Asia to a platform operating in more than fifty countries took Justin Fulcher the better part of a decade. He started building RingMD in Singapore in 2013, twenty-one years old and working on a product with no formal company structure behind it. Investors found the prototype and asked to get involved. Fulcher’s advantage, when he stepped back to look at it, was that by the time he was raising capital, the technology already worked. He was not selling a vision of what might be built he was showing something that was already running.
Choosing the Right Markets
Singapore made geographic and regulatory sense as a base. From there, Justin Fulcher could reach India, Indonesia, and the broader Southeast Asian markets where demand for affordable healthcare was acute and mobile connectivity was already widespread. He had first noticed this gap watching people across the region use smartphones for everything except accessing healthcare. In Jakarta, the disconnect took its starkest form: a man with an Android phone drinking contaminated water from the ground. That image gave Justin Fulcher a concrete frame for the work he was already doing.
Compliance, Clients, and a Decade of Expansion
After selling RingMD in 2018 and completing a transition to Boston-based headquarters, the platform relaunched in the US in 2019 with a sharper institutional focus. It became FedRAMP Moderate compliant, FISMA compliant, and HIPAA compliant credentials that positioned it for government clients including the US Indian Health Service and India’s Digital India program. Justin Fulcher offered free white-labeled access to the platform at the onset of COVID-19 in 2020. He stepped back from operational leadership in January 2025, leaving behind a platform with 1.5 million patient records and 10,000 healthcare providers across three continents.
