Rohit Kumar Pandey, Co-founder, and CEO, SigTuple, says: “Our goal is to develop intelligent, scalable and affordable disease screening solutions which can empower medical experts and facilitate quality health care delivery to the masses. Our initial focus is on the solutions for the screening tests so that we can positively impact a larger population not only in India but globally.”

It allows SigTuple to ingest visual medical data from different devices and build a longitudinal memory. It provides solutions for automated analysis of peripheral blood smear, urine and semen samples, retinal scans and chest x-rays. The name ‘Manthana’ is derived from an Indian mythology event – Samudra Manthana.
Currently, SigTuple is working with hospitals, labs and a group of medical experts in various fields to develop medically based solutions with the help of AI. The startup is also implementing a hub-and-spoke model where medical experts can operate from the hubs. Read more startup news.
