Pune Startup Develops AI-Powered Ayurvedic Diagnostic Device ‘Nadi Tarangini’

Developed by Aniruddha Joshi as part of his research project at IIT Bombay, Nadi Tarangini combines ultra-sensitive sensors with sophisticated AI algorithms to deliver precise pulse readings.

Pune-based Atreya Innovations has introduced an advanced AI-driven pulse diagnostic tool, Nadi Tarangini, designed to modernize traditional Ayurvedic practices.

The device can assess a patient’s health across 22 parameters and generate reports in 10 Indian languages, marking a significant technological leap in Ayurveda.

Developed by Aniruddha Joshi as part of his research project at IIT Bombay, Nadi Tarangini combines ultra-sensitive sensors with sophisticated AI algorithms to deliver precise pulse readings.

Supported by a research grant from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and co-founded with entrepreneur Anand Deshpande, the device simplifies complex Ayurvedic diagnostics for practitioners.

“This patented device analyses 22 Ayurvedic health parameters, including Tridosha balance (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), stress levels, digestive health, and overall well-being,” Joshi explained.

According to him, Nadi Tarangini achieves an accuracy rate of approximately 85%.

Regulatory Approval & Global Reach

The device has gained approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), making it India’s first Ayurvedic medical device to receive regulatory clearance.

Joshi emphasized that this milestone not only elevates Ayurvedic treatment but also lays the foundation for standardizing Ayurvedic practices through technology, paving the way for global adoption.

In addition to its Indian approval, Nadi Tarangini has received patents in the United States, Europe, and Indonesia. It is currently used in over 1,250 Ayurvedic clinics across India, with a growing presence worldwide.

Priced at INR 55,000, Nadi Tarangini is manufactured at Atreya Innovations’ facility in Hinjewadi, Pune.

The company, which has an annual production capacity of 5,000 units, recently secured INR 5 Cr in seed funding. These funds will be allocated to further research, establishing a robust distribution network, and scaling production capabilities.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Nadi Tarangini during his Mann Ki Baat program, spotlighting its potential to transform Ayurvedic healthcare.

Joshi credited his father, Padma Bhushan recipient Prof J B Joshi, for conceptualizing the device, which took over six years of intensive research to bring to fruition.
