Your health
in your pocket

VitalEdge is a power-bank sized device that puts five health checks in one hand: ECG, pulse, SpO2, body temperature and a digital stethoscope. Built in India for clinics, homes and rural care.

VitalEdge is an early stage prototype, not a certified medical device, and not for diagnosis.

02 · The problem

Five checks. Five devices. Five separate bills.

A basic vitals check needs an ECG machine, an oximeter, a thermometer, a stethoscope and a pulse monitor. Each one costs money, needs its own handling, and keeps its reading to itself.

Readings end up in different places. The doctor sees them late, or not together.

For small clinics

More devices to buy, maintain and calibrate. Each reading is noted by hand, so records end up fragmented.

  • Cost
  • Clutter
  • Fragmented data

For rural and underserved areas

Fewer clinics, fewer instruments, long trips. Warning signs get missed because monitoring is delayed and expensive.

  • Delay
  • Affordability

Five sensors in one handheld device

From sensor to doctor: how the data moves

DecisionDoctor

Reviews the report and makes the call.

MEDIESTA is designed to support a doctor's analysis, not replace it. The report is a starting point for a clinician, not a diagnosis.

04 · Why it is different

More checks, lower target price

VitalEdge sits in a gap: cheaper than buying single-purpose devices one by one, and more clinical than consumer fitness wearables. All VitalEdge prices are targets, not launched prices.

Price range, in rupees

Same scale for all three. Target, not a launched price

VitalEdge (5 in 1)₹3,500 – 4,000
Single-function device, each₹5,000 – 15,000
Premium wearable₹20,000 – 50,000
₹0₹10k₹20k₹30k₹40k₹50k
~60%

Our estimate of how much less the target price is than buying equivalent single instruments separately.

05 · Testing and validation

Tested on real people, problems included

We wired the sensors on a development board, put electrodes on real forearms and watched the trace come through. Then we took it to more than 150 people.

150+

people took part in pilot-style testing of the prototype, with input from healthcare professionals along the way.

  • Do the five sensors give usable readings on real users?
  • Is one handheld device practical to use?
  • What breaks outside a controlled room?

What this is not: pilot testing is not a clinical trial. Formal validation and certification are still ahead on the roadmap.

Found in pilots

Thermal drift

Temperature readings slowly drifted away from the true value over a session.

What it means nextBetter calibration and keeping heat from other parts away from the sensor.

Found in pilots

Battery life

Keeping five sensors and a screen running on a small battery, reliably over time, needed more work.

What it means nextPower management in firmware, and sizing the battery against the power-bank form factor.

Found in pilots

Environmental adaptability

Readings that were clean in a controlled room got noisier with changing surroundings and conditions.

What it means nextSignal filtering and isolating the sensors from each other's interference.

06 · Recognition

Judges, then investors, took it seriously

VitalEdge entered Disrupt, the startup programme run by the E-Cell at IIT Guwahati, and kept moving up. Personal names and dates are blurred in the screenshots below.

07 · Building the brand

Letting people choose the design

Before fixing the final shell, we put the design options on Instagram and asked people to vote. It built an audience and gave real input at the same time.

How the design vote worked

  1. Post the device design options
  2. People comment on their favourite
  3. A short feedback form in the bio
  4. Team reads responses and comments
