Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre has introduced Maharashtra’s first operational AI-powered heart disease prevention model, developed in collaboration with AnginaX AI, which is billed as India’s first licensed AI assistant in cardiology.

The deployment of this system marks a shift from conventional, late-stage cardiac intervention to early-stage risk detection and prevention. Integrated into the hospital’s outpatient departments (OPDs), the AnginaX AI tool enables doctors to generate science-backed cardiovascular risk assessments within seconds. These assessments are designed to detect potential cardiac issues before symptoms manifest, while also offering personalised lifestyle and treatment guidance.
“For decades, cardiology has focused on damage control,” said Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. Ashwin B. Mehta, Director of Cardiology at Jaslok Hospital. “But with advanced AI, we can now assess who is at risk before damage begins. This is not just innovation, but reimagining the timeline of care.”
The system analyses over 20 clinical and lifestyle indicators, such as lipid profiles, blood sugar levels, inflammation markers, and family medical history. It then generates a clinical summary with risk stratification and recommended investigations, enabling physicians to tailor follow-up and treatment plans more effectively.
Dr. Ajit Desai, Senior Cardiologist at Jaslok, noted the system's impact in clinical workflows: “The AnginaX AI system gives us clinical clarity in under a minute, especially vital in high-volume OPD settings. We’re now able to consult more patients, detect silent risks early, and guide people to act before their first symptom.”
Jaslok Hospital and AnginaX also emphasised accessibility. The system is designed to be quick and cost-effective, to overcome barriers such as fear and expense that often prevent early cardiac check-ups.
“This isn’t just about digital transformation, but about medical timing,” said Jaslok CEO Jitendra Haryan. “Our hospital is proud to lead this change in India’s healthcare system. When technology and medicine work together, lives are saved earlier.”
Naman Gosalia, Founder of AnginaX AI, stated that the system had been tested first within his own family. “The KPI of this model was simple: could it work on my mother? That trial was successful, and it gave us the conviction to move forward.”
Dr. Neeraj Desai, Strategic Medical Advisor at AnginaX, described the system as “a bridge between data and decision, between missed chances and timely care,” adding, “In medicine, timing is everything. And for the first time, we are putting timing on the side of prevention.”
