Founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic by engineering graduates Lokant Jain and Saniya Jeswani, Perkant Tech has developed an AI-enabled health platform designed for multi-disease prognostics.

The platform combines AI-powered tools with medical devices to provide real-time, predictive health insights aimed at both preventive care and ongoing health monitoring.

“This investment enables us to advance our AI-powered prognostic technology and fast-track our journey toward commercial launch,” said co-founder Lokant Jain.
“We are focused on improving the accessibility and scalability of our solutions while ensuring clinical-grade precision.”

The startup plans to use the funds to support research and development, expand its presence in the market, and refine its customer acquisition strategies. A portion of the investment will be directed toward upgrading its technology and enhancing the software’s capabilities, including real-time updates and personalized diagnostics.

Perkant Tech currently holds an Indian patent for its apparatus, which is engineered to capture both psychological and physiological distress indicators from the human body. A US patent for the same technology is currently pending.

Jeswani emphasized the platform’s long-term vision, stating,

“We aim to bridge critical gaps in healthcare accessibility with a solution that is sustainable, upgradable, and capable of reaching underserved communities.”

Following successful pilot programs with select healthcare partners, Perkant is preparing for a broader market rollout. The company’s goal is to offer scalable health solutions that support a more equitable and data-driven approach to healthcare delivery in India and beyond.
