Larkai healthcare: enabling AI in diagnostics and making healthcare accessible and affordable with disruptive technology
This case study delves into the entrepreneurial careers of Pritam Dhalla and Abhilash Chakraverty, the founder and co-founder of Larkai healthcare. The company's flagship product, WREN, is a smart multiparameter portable device that seamlessly integrates measures of respiratory rate, body temperature, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and electrocardiogram (ECG) to revolutionise patient monitoring. The benefits of WREN are seen in better patient care, more accessibility to healthcare, and more efficiency. The case explores the origins of Larkai, Pritam's product developmental history, Abhilash's business and financial heft, and the difficulties encountered in early business when artificial intelligence was still in the realm of theory. Due to its global ambitions, Larkai faces a unique challenge: how to balance quick innovation with a variety of legal environments. Larkai's case sets an example for the industry by demonstrating how a purpose-driven approach may result in financial success while having a beneficial global impact.
