Our Projects

Our flagship project, AI for early detection & management of Cardiovascular Diseases enrolls participants into a longitudinal cohort which utilises multimodal signals to improve outcomes. By leveraging AI, we aim to provide streamlined clinical care that is both timely and effective.

Why AI for Cardiovascular Health?

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, with an estimated 1.79 Crore deaths each year. In India, the situation is even more critical, with risk factors such as disproportionately affecting the population with Heart attacks occurring 10 years earlier. Early detection through systematic public facing digital health and AI-powered diagnostics can lead to timely interventions saving millions of lives. Through the CARDIAC India initiative, we hope to make this a reality by implementing solutions at the grassroots level.

Our Commitment to India’s Future

At CARDIAC India, we envision a future where healthcare is driven by innovation and AI. Our mission aligns with the Government of India’s vision of “Make AI in India, Make AI Work for India”, and we are dedicated to being at the forefront of this healthcare revolution. By creating a thriving ecosystem of collaboration between academia, industry, and healthcare providers, we aim to accelerate the adoption of AI-powered solutions to address India’s cardiovascular health challenges.
