Hridae · Heart and brain intelligence

Intelligence for the heart, and the mind.

Hridae builds wearable sensors, AI and clinical software as one connected system, so the heart can be read continuously, understood reliably and reviewed by the right clinician, from a city hospital to a rural clinic. Cardiology comes first; neurology is built on the same foundation.

The ecosystem

One system, from signal to care.

Most health technology does one piece and hands off the rest. Hridae designs the sensor, the intelligence and the clinical software together, so every step knows what the step before it saw.

Each product works on its own. Together, each one makes the others better.

01Wearable cardiac sensing

Hridayam

The heart, worn continuously.

A family of wearables built around one sensing core: a light screening patch for everyday and community use, and a flagship vest that adds a 12-lead ECG and a docked ultrasound module for the clinic.

In development · investigational
  • Screening patchECG and heart sounds from a small, comfortable patch, designed for low cost and for use outside hospitals.
  • Clinical vestA 12-lead ECG with ultrasound, motion and temperature sensing, synchronised beat by beat.
  • Built for reachPortable, radiation-free and affordable enough for rural clinics and emergency care.
Around the wearable

Intelligence and software, built as one.

02Cardiac intelligenceIn research · validation across hospital cohorts

Hridae cardiac AI

Readings you can stand behind.

The intelligence inside every Hridae device: it reads the heart from the signals a wearable can realistically capture, and it is designed from the start to be honest about its limits and to keep a clinician in the loop.

Our research
  • Few-lead firstDesigned around the leads a wearable records, not only the 12-lead hospital ECG.
  • Beyond rhythmResearch directions include structural heart disease and heart sounds, alongside rhythm and conduction.
  • Validated in the openTested across hospitals and populations, with Indian cohorts next, and reported in peer-reviewed work.
03Clinical review platformIn use · research studies

Hridae Studio

Where clinicians meet the signal.

A web workspace where cardiologists and neurologists review ECG and EEG recordings at true paper scale, run blinded reading studies and keep an auditable record of every read.

Explore Studio
  • ECG and EEGStandard 12-lead layouts at true size with calipers, and EEG review in the same workspace.
  • Reading studiesBlinded, randomised reading with structured forms, locked submissions and adjudication.
  • AuditableEvery sign-in, read and change is written to a tamper-evident log.
04Cognitive wellnessIn development

Cognidhi

A mind, kept sharp.

Short, science-based check-ins that help people of every age notice, protect and train everyday brain health, with community support. Within-person insight for wellness, never a diagnosis.

  • Playful by designBrief activities that are worth coming back to.
  • Your own baselineChange is measured against you, not a population average.
  • For every ageFrom students to older adults, at home or in a community setting.
Neurotechnology

One platform, heart and brain.

Sensing, signal intelligence and clinician review are not specific to the heart. Hridae applies the same architecture to neurology, building on capabilities already in use: EEG review in Hridae Studio, and our founders’ peer-reviewed work in EEG analysis and brain-computer interfaces.

Available

EEG review and analysis in Hridae Studio, in the same workspace and audit trail as ECG.

In development

Cognidhi: structured, repeatable check-ins for everyday cognitive wellness.

Research programme

Non-invasive neural sensing designed for the same sense, understand and review pathway.

Why it matters

The cost of finding out too late.

Most heart disease in India is found late, far from a specialist. Earlier, cheaper, more continuous reading of the heart changes when care can begin.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What is Hridae?

Hridae is a medical-technology company building a connected ecosystem of intelligence for the heart and, next, the brain. It designs wearable sensors, AI and clinical software together, so signals from the body can be read continuously, understood reliably and reviewed by clinicians, from hospitals to rural and emergency care.

What is Hridae building?

Four connected parts: Hridayam, a family of investigational cardiac wearables (a screening patch and a clinical vest with 12-lead ECG and ultrasound); the Hridae cardiac AI that reads those signals; Hridae Studio, a web platform where clinicians review ECG and EEG recordings and run blinded reading studies; and Cognidhi, a cognitive-wellness platform. The same platform is being applied to neurology, starting with EEG review in Studio. The software layer is expected in 2027, with devices following by 2028.

Who is Hridae for?

Clinicians and hospitals, research partners, and people and families. Hridae builds tools for doctors and care teams that are intended to become regulated medical devices, and simpler products for everyday wellness. Because the devices are designed to be portable, affordable and radiation-free, they are meant to work as well in a rural clinic or an emergency as they do in a hospital or a living room.

Does Hridae act on its own, or does a doctor stay in the loop?

Hridae senses continuously, processes privately on the device, learns your personal baseline, and surfaces the right alert early. The system informs; a person acts. Insights and alerts are designed to reach you and your clinician, so care decisions always stay with a human.

Is my health data private?

Yes. Hridae is built privacy-first: interpretation runs on-device with edge AI, so your data is processed locally and stays yours. Your profile is a baseline built from you, not shared as a population average.

When will Hridae be available?

Hridae is in active research and development. The software and app layer is expected in 2027, with the devices following by 2028. The best way to stay informed and get early access is to join the waitlist for the founding cohort.

Who is behind Hridae?

Hridae was founded in 2026 by Parikshith Chavakula (Co-Founder and CEO, leading hardware, design, sensing, manufacturing and business) and Soinik Ghosh (Co-Founder and CTO, a biologist and neuroscientist turned engineer and AI researcher, leading software, AI and system design), with Abhra Bhattacharyya as a strategic and engineering advisor. The team is mentored by Prof. Suman Chakraborty (Director, IIT Kharagpur), Prof. Sanjay Kr. Rai (Head, Biomedical Engineering, IIT BHU) and leading clinicians, with clinical partners including IMS BHU, the Cardiological Society of India, AIIMS New Delhi, CDRI, AIIMS Kalyani and CMC Vellore.

Where is Hridae based, and how can I reach the team?

Hridae Medical Technologies Pvt Ltd is based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, and is supported by IIT BHU, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras, with a pre-seed investment from the IIT BHU Foundation. You can reach the team at hridaemedtech@gmail.com or +91 9182673244.
