Hyderabad based start-up has developed SwaasaTM AI platform
Salcit Technologies Private Limited, a start-up based in Hyderabad has developed a patented SwaasaTM AI platform, which is a point-of-care technology to assess a user’s respiratory condition. The platform analyses cough signals, and provide an assessment using proprietary ML and AI algorithms. The platform identifies the underlying respiratory condition (yes/no), the pattern (obstructive, restrictive, mixed or normal) and its severity. It uses the cough analysis as an additional factor in risk assessment. The platform receives inputs from the mobile or web client, processes the data and returns the prediction and detailed analytics as output.
The core technology has been enhanced to provide
risk assessment for COVID-19. This can be used as
an auxiliary to rapid test. The technology enables a
direct read into lung assessment backed by clinical validation. This platform is sound enough to achieve this functionality without the constraints of cost, location, scheduling, special equipment, and trained personnel.
The project is supported by Scheme for Accelerating Start-ups around Post COVID Technology - Ministry of Electronics and Information TechnologY (MeitY).

Udiyate Technologies has proposed respiratory assistive devices and
smart sanitiser
Bhubaneswar based start-up, Udiyate Technologies Private Limited has proposed an Ambu Bag design that is well suited for ambulances, stable patients or for home based patients. To increase the reliability factor of this cheap ventilator, an innovative dual Ambu Bag based ventilator has been used that can work act both in asynchronous and synchronous manner, which means it can be independently set for two patients if patient traffic is high.
