Meanwhile, traditional methods for cardiac detection still rely on reactive, symptom-driven interventions that often catch heart disease too late, when treatment is complex, critical and costly. AI-enabled remote cardiac monitoring is is already revolutionizing how we detect, diagnose, mitigate and manage heart conditions.

Cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD), have become an epidemic in India. In such scenarios, cardiologists’ primary form of treatment for children with coronary heart disease is a heart valve implant. Shockingly, 9 out of every 1000 newborns are diagnosed with CHD annually.
