SAMRIDH has supported 90+ health innovations with a strong emphasis on medical devices, diagnostics, telemedicine, and digital health technologies to address systemic gaps in healthcare delivery across India. Through the USAID-supported SAMRIDH initiative, we have demonstrated extensive experience in building partnerships across India’s science and technology ecosystem to accelerate innovation-driven solutions for health and development. Several supported innovations integrated AI/ML to enable faster diagnostics, predictive analytics, and remote telepathology (Qure.ai, Swaasa AI, Tricog and Medprime), employed predictive models to monitor and forecast ICU patient deterioration (Teslon Carenation), and utilised field-level data to strengthen monitoring, evaluation, and planning in rural healthcare programs, driving more targeted and effective service delivery (CDOT and ChildFund). Several enterprises developed/ integrated digital dashboards and data visualisation tools to improve operations and remote monitoring:
- Cardiac Design Labs’ Padma Vitals: Dashboards for real-time remote vital signs tracking
- Aerobiosys Innovations: Mobile app dashboard for breath pattern graphs
- Neurosynaptic ReMeDi: Telemedicine platform with integrated data dashboards
- Tricog and Qure.ai: Real-time diagnostic dashboards for clinicians
- StratMed: Data-driven healthcare procurement and supply chain analytics platform
