What Happened to AyuSynk After Shark Tank India?
We see new innovations in every sector. But one thing hasn’t changed in like forever. Can you guess the product?
I’m talking about a stethoscope. The design of the stethoscope is still the same, no new invention was noticed. But AyuSynk took matters into their own hand and made a better stethoscope that can help medical professionals diagnose their patients better.
Heart & lung diseases are increasing day by day. When patients are having these health issues, their hearts and lungs sound differently. But to notice that different sounds is the tricky part.
If you’re already an expert doctor, then noticing the sounds might be easy for you. As you’ve diagnosed thousands of patients in your lifetime. But a normal stethoscope makes it really hard to identify those sounds easily.
That’s where AyuSynk comes in handy.
Who is the Founder of AyuSynk?
Adarsh Kachappilly, Tapas Pandey & Varad Patil founded AyuSynk for the doctors to make their life easier. Adarsh is the CEO, Tapash is Head of Hardware and Varad is Head of Software & Analytics.
How much money did they ask for AyuSynk?
They came to Shark Tank India seeking ₹1 Crore in exchange for 1.5% equity in the company. Which gives the company a valuation of ₹66.67 Crores. They want the money to buy raw materials in advance that are needed to make AyuSynk.
How to use AyuSynk?
Using AyuSynk is really easy. Just remove the chest piece from a normal stethoscope. Then attach AyuSynk to the stethoscope.
Voila, your normal stethoscope has become a digital stethoscope. It will give more clarity in detecting the heart and lung sounds. Also, it removes all the additional background noises from the environment.
The data can be live-streamed also. Doctors now can check their patients from rural areas. AyuSynk has its own application which can be used to send the heart and lungs sound.
Heart sound can be heard from 4 locations and lungs sound can be heard from 18 locations. So, it’s important to know where to place the stethoscope to get an accurate sound.
AyuSynk has 2 modes.
- Heart Mode
- Lungs Mode
If AyuSynk is set to heart mode then you’ll see red light. If you want to hear lung sounds, then all you have to do is tap twice on the machine, and it will show you a blue light. Lungs mode is equal to blue light.
In India, Doctors have less time to diagnose a patient properly. If he can use a stethoscope like this, then it will help him save some time. Also, it will help him to make important health decisions more accurately.
95,000 medical students graduate every year in India, and they buy at least 1 stethoscope every 5 years. So, the market size is around 250 Crores.
