Anand Madanagopal: Heart Warmer

He is the cardiac care entrepreneur you have never heard of. But you will when his revolutionary product hits the market

Open | 09 May, 2016

He is the cardiac care entrepreneur you have never heard of. But you will, by the year-end, when his revolutionary product hits the market. With a team of 15 engineers, Anand Madanagopal has over the past four years built a low-cost, wearable cardiac monitor, MIRCaM. The device can help in initial diagnosis in remote locations as well as send alerts to a doctor. Everything about the multi-functional device, including the algorithm that was developed in-house, reflects Madanagopal’s belief in a radical new way of monitoring heart disease. MIRCaM, which has successfully been tested in hospitals since 2014, could impact millions of lives worldwide and disrupt remote healthcare. All because of one man’s faith in the power of his idea.
