Healthcare AI, built at the edge
We build clinically relevant AI systems that bring faster insight to microscopes, pathology labs and the people who need care most.
Born from multidisciplinary research at
National Institute of Technology Calicut
Smart Microscopy System · Prototype shown at EKASVA 2026
Our products
From the microscope bench to a phone in the field, our product family keeps inference close to the point of care—private, responsive and practical.
01 / Smart Microscopy
Our AI-enabled smart microscopy system upgrades conventional optics with a digital camera, compact embedded processor and LCD—helping specialists locate cells and regions of interest in real time.
No internet, cloud compute or remote server required.
A practical upgrade path for conventional microscopes and familiar workflows.
Highlights relevant regions while keeping final clinical judgment with the pathologist.
Designed to adapt across
Digital pathology suite
02 / Transformer-VSA
An end-to-end urine cytology dashboard that processes digital slides over a secure, high-speed hospital LAN. Pathologists can review findings, drill into regions of interest and finalize structured reports from one local workflow.
03 / Mobile Cytology
Lightweight distilled models run entirely on a smartphone, turning a direct image input into a structured interpretation and clinical report—with no cloud dependency or recurring infrastructure cost.
Decentralized screening, rural clinics and point-of-care settings where cytopathology expertise may be limited.
04 / Vision Assist
A hands-free AI companion for people who are blind or have low vision. Users simply speak to their phone to understand their surroundings, identify what is ahead and ask follow-up questions—without finding or pressing a button.
You“What’s in front of me?”
Assist“A doorway is about three steps ahead, slightly to your right.”

How we build
We begin with the clinical workflow—not the model—and bring medical insight, engineering and responsible AI into the same product loop.
We frame problems with healthcare professionals and build for how care is actually delivered.
Local inference supports speed, privacy, offline use and predictable operating costs.
Our systems surface evidence and patterns while final judgment stays with the clinician.
Research is engineered into deployable tools for hospitals, laboratories and communities.
