Enthutech Pvt. Ltd., an emerging medtech startup from Aurangabad, Maharashtra, is redefining healthcare with cutting-edge mobility and network solutions. At its core, the company thrives on a unique blend of expertise in electronic hardware, mobility software, and healthcare devices. This DNA has culminated in the creation of a handheld, 12-lead, diagnostic-quality ECG device that fully leverages Enthutech’s platform. Moreover, the platform is designed to scale seamlessly, enabling similar diagnostic capabilities for other critical health parameters.
Looking ahead, Enthutech envisions a nationwide connected cardiac care network. The goal is ambitious yet essential, bringing remote diagnosis to citizens in every corner of India through the existing healthcare infrastructure, across both public and private systems. What drives this mission is a clear commitment: to extend lifesaving cardiac care to semi-urban and rural regions, where access remains woefully inadequate. To achieve this, the company has gone beyond building diagnostic technology. It has created an end-to-end solution that integrates vital processes such as payment collection, network management, and reporting, ensuring adoption is not only possible but practical.
In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World, Pratik Todkar, Director of Enthutech Pvt. Ltd., sheds light on this groundbreaking portable ECG device. He discusses its market readiness, highlights its potential to disrupt conventional cardiac testing, and outlines the pricing strategy designed to keep it accessible and affordable for Indian healthcare providers. The conversation offers valuable insights into how Enthutech plans to transform the future of cardiac care in India.
Q: Could you elaborate on the innovative healthcare products your company has developed and the specific challenges they address in the industry?
A: Enthutech stands at the forefront of technology-driven healthcare manufacturing. Our company has developed a portable ECG device designed as an add-on to conventional ECG machines. Unlike bulky systems that remain confined to hospitals, this innovation is built specifically for primary healthcare touchpoints, such as ASHA workers, rural health centers, and ambulance vans, where immediate and accessible cardiac screening can save lives.
The device functions as an intelligent extension of traditional ECG machines. It captures diagnostic-quality ECGs and generates reports in PDF format. These digital reports can be instantly shared with doctors, who then determine the next course of action—whether it is immediate intervention, referral, or follow-up care.
What makes this device especially powerful is its ability to store patient data digitally. Doctors and caregivers can track a patient’s medical history across months or years, enabling continuity of care and more accurate treatment decisions.
Enthutech designed this solution with rural realities in mind. Power outages and lack of reliable electricity often cripple healthcare delivery in underserved regions. To overcome this challenge, the device operates without a dedicated battery. Instead, it draws power directly from a mobile phone. Since mobile phones can be charged virtually anywhere and chargers are widely available, the device remains functional even in remote mountain villages or inaccessible terrains.
This design choice ensures that even the most underprivileged communities, those without access to advanced urban infrastructure, can benefit from timely cardiac diagnosis. By bridging the gap between remote patients and professional medical expertise, Enthutech’s portable ECG device empowers healthcare workers to detect conditions early and connect patients to the right treatment at the right time.
In essence, this device is more than an innovation; it is an equalizer. It delivers diagnostic accuracy, ensures data continuity, and makes lifesaving cardiac care accessible to populations that have long remained beyond the reach of modern healthcare.
Q: In terms of portability, how much smaller is this device compared to conventional ECG systems?
A: This pocket-sized device redefines portability. Weighing barely 100 grams, it slips effortlessly into your pocket, making it as easy to carry as your everyday essentials.
Q: Are you prepared to launch this product in the market?
A: Yes, we are market-ready. Our company holds ISO certification and the device has successfully cleared IEC testing. At present, we are operating under a CDSCO testing license and actively conducting clinical trials. Once we secure the manufacturing license, we will be fully prepared to launch the device.
Q: In what ways do you envision this ECG machine transforming the landscape of cardiac testing?
A: The standout feature of this device lies in its minimal dependency. It requires no charger, and it works seamlessly with standard ECG cables readily available in the market. With such low reliance on external accessories, the device emerges as a highly suitable and reliable solution for conducting cardiac tests in rural healthcare centers.
Q: What pricing strategy are you adopting to ensure this solution remains accessible and affordable?
A: We have priced this product at approximately ₹30,000, which includes both the device hardware and complete application support. The device is integrated with an Android application, and we provide full assistance to operate it, covering training and user guidance. In addition, the product comes with a one-year warranty to ensure reliability and peace of mind. By comparison, a traditional ECG machine with similar specifications costs nearly ₹1,00,000. The value difference is substantial, making our solution significantly more affordable and accessible.
