Mumbai: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare by helping doctors detect diseases early, recommend better treatments, and save time on paperwork. In a landmark move to tackle India’s leading cause of death, a Mumbai-based hospital has partnered with AnginaX AI — India’s first AI-powered cardiology assistant — to help doctors detect and prevent heart disease before it becomes critical.
Heart disease affects millions of Indians and often goes undetected until it’s too late. This AI-powered prevention model brings speed, accuracy, and accessibility to the very first point of contact: the outpatient department (OPD).
The AnginaX AI system assesses cardiovascular risk in seconds, delivering structured, science-backed reports that identify risk factors before symptoms appear and recommend personalised lifestyle and treatment plans.
Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre has teamed up with AnginaX AI — India’s first licensed AI doctor assistant in cardiology — to launch Maharashtra’s first operational AI-driven heart disease prevention system.
“For decades, cardiology has focused on damage control,” said Dr Ashwin B. Mehta, Director of Cardiology at Jaslok Hospital. “With advanced AI, we can now assess who is at risk before any damage occurs. This is not just innovation — it’s reimagining the timeline of care.”
The AnginaX system analyses over 20 key clinical and lifestyle indicators, including detailed lipid profiles, blood sugar, inflammatory markers, metabolic conditions, family history, and lifestyle habits. Using validated Indian data, it generates a structured clinical summary with individualised risk scores, recommended investigations, and clear treatment and follow-up guidance.
“The AI system gives us clinical clarity in under a minute — crucial in high-volume OPDs,” said Dr Ajit Desai, Senior Cardiologist. “We can consult more patients, detect silent risks early, and help people act before their first symptom.”
“Technology and medicine must work together to save lives sooner,” said Jaslok CEO Jitendra Haryan. “We’re proud to lead this shift in India’s healthcare.”
