• Niloufer Hospital has become the first in India to launch Amruth Swasth Bharath, a non-invasive AI-based blood testing tool developed by Quick Vitals.
  • The tool uses smartphone or tablet cameras for contactless diagnostics in under a minute, aiming to transform public healthcare accessibility.

In a breakthrough for public healthcare, Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad has become the first hospital in India to implement Amruth Swasth Bharath, an AI-powered, non-invasive blood testing tool that delivers results in under a minute without the need for needles, vials, or lab equipment.

Developed by health-tech startup Quick Vitals, the tool uses advanced facial scanning technology and remote photoplethysmography (PPG) to measure vital health parameters such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiration rate, hemoglobin A1c, and stress levels. 

Designed with the Indian population in mind, it delivers comprehensive results in just 20 to 60 seconds through a smartphone or tablet camera.

“This tool will revolutionise health diagnostics in India. It is particularly beneficial for children and pregnant women, facilitating regular and accessible health assessments,” said Dr. Ravi Kumar, Superintendent of Niloufer Hospital, during the official launch event held on May 19.

The event drew notable figures in the healthcare and innovation space, including Prof. Dr. Santhosh Kumar Kraleti of the National Medical Commission and Karuna Gopal, BJP National In-charge for Women Policies & Research. 

Live demonstrations during the event showcased how the tool offers instant health insights through a simple camera scan or contact-based sensor, making it adaptable for both spot checks and long-term monitoring.

“With Amruth Swasth Bharath, health monitoring has become as simple as taking a selfie,” said Harish Bisam, Founder of Quick Vitals. “Our goal is to make these vital health assessments universally accessible and to improve the overall healthcare delivery system in India.”

The tool's privacy-first design supports multi-user registration and encrypted data sharing with healthcare providers, ensuring compliance with health regulations. Following its debut in Hyderabad, Quick Vitals plans to expand the rollout to Maharashtra and beyond.

“Technology goes hand in hand to eliminate anaemia. With tools like Amruth Swasth Bharath, we can identify at-risk populations swiftly and deliver targeted interventions,” said Dr. Kraleti.

As India looks to scale digital healthcare, Niloufer Hospital’s pioneering step could set the tone for smarter, quicker, and more inclusive diagnostics nationwide.
