OMRON and Tricog Launch KeeboHealth to Tackle India’s Growing Cardiac Burden

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

AI-Enabled Platform Aims to Deliver Personalized Remote Cardiac Care and Achieve ‘Zero Cardiovascular Events’

Bengaluru, India | July 10, 2025 — OMRON Healthcare, a global leader in home health monitoring, has expanded its collaboration with Tricog Health, an AI-driven cardiac diagnostics company, to introduce KeeboHealth—an advanced connected health platform designed to transform remote cardiac care in India.

KeeboHealth is a cutting-edge digital ecosystem that leverages artificial intelligence, real-time data analytics, and remote monitoring to enable proactive and personalized cardiac care. Integrated with OMRON’s suite of connected devices—including ECG-enabled blood pressure monitors, weighing scales, and other home health solutions—the platform allows for continuous monitoring and early detection of cardiovascular issues.

Tricog’s AI engine processes data in real-time, identifying early warning signs and alerting healthcare providers to enable timely medical interventions. This system aims to reduce hospital admissions by catching potential cardiac events before they escalate.

Pushing the Boundaries of Preventive Care

The initiative supports OMRON’s global ‘Going for Zero’ vision, which aspires to eliminate heart attacks and strokes through early detection and patient-centric care. By combining Tricog’s AI expertise with OMRON’s established home monitoring technology, KeeboHealth represents a major step toward achieving this goal.

Ayumu Okada, President and CEO of OMRON Healthcare Co. Ltd., said, “For over four decades, we’ve focused on addressing India’s cardiovascular health challenges. KeeboHealth merges our trusted devices—such as the OMRON Complete BP monitor with ECG—with Tricog’s AI to bridge the gap between home and clinical care. It enhances both early diagnosis and clinical efficiency, supporting our mission of ‘Going for Zero’.”

Extending Access to Quality Heart Care

Dr. Charit Bhograj, CEO and Founder of Tricog Health, emphasized the platform’s potential impact: “KeeboHealth is not just a technology—it’s a lifeline for patients, particularly in areas with limited access to specialists. By continuously monitoring patient health and enabling timely interventions, we can shift from reactive to preventive care and reduce the long-term burden of heart failure.”

Global Study Validates Impact

Results from a multinational study involving Duke University, UT Southwestern Medical Center (USA), and Manipal Hospital (India) demonstrated KeeboHealth’s effectiveness. Patients saw a 45% improvement in exercise capacity and cardiac biomarkers, along with a 44% increase in adherence to guideline-based medical therapy. The platform also contributed to a notable decrease in hospital readmissions.

Diplomatic Endorsement for Healthcare Innovation

Hokuta Kaya, Deputy Consul General of Japan in Bengaluru, hailed the partnership as a model of Indo-Japanese cooperation: “This collaboration brings together Japan’s technological expertise and India’s innovation to create meaningful healthcare solutions. KeeboHealth is a game-changer for remote cardiac care and a symbol of what our nations can achieve together.”

Towards a Scalable, National Solution

OMRON and Tricog plan a nationwide rollout of KeeboHealth in 2025, aiming to make AI-powered, preventive heart care accessible to millions. The platform reflects a shift toward scalable, technology-driven models in Indian healthcare, supporting both clinical outcomes and operational efficiency.

Together, the two organizations are moving closer to a future where cardiovascular conditions can be detected early, managed effectively, and—ultimately—prevented.

IMC 2025 Gains Momentum with Bengaluru Roadshow; Launches Flagship Initiatives for Startups and Developers

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru, July 1, 2025: India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025 — Asia’s premier digital technology platform — continued to build excitement with a high-energy roadshow held in Bengaluru today. Organized by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the roadshow underlined Bengaluru’s critical role as a launchpad for innovation, thanks to its vibrant startup ecosystem and leadership in deep-tech domains.

As part of its broader vision, IMC 2025 is placing a strong focus on startups and innovation through its flagship ASPIRE program, designed to connect over 500 emerging companies with top investors, incubators, and international partners through mentorship, live pitching, and networking opportunities.

The Bengaluru roadshow was held alongside the Matrix Global Summit 2025 hosted by TiE Bangalore, a major gathering of industry leaders and innovators focused on deep-tech areas such as generative AI, advanced manufacturing, blockchain, and sustainable industrial technologies.

Government Signals Strong Support for Innovation

Speaking at the event, Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Minister of State for Communications & Rural Development, emphasized India’s digital transformation journey:
“With over 1.2 billion mobile subscribers and 1 billion broadband users, we’ve connected 2.2 lakh villages through BharatNet. We’re investing $18 billion more to bring high-speed internet to an additional 40,000 gram panchayats and 15 million rural households. From importing 75% of our mobile devices, India is now exporting devices worth ₹1.8 trillion annually. This is not just ‘Made for India’, it’s ‘Made by India’.”



He also highlighted the impact of the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF), which has already supported 120 high-tech startups with nearly ₹500 crore in funding.
“India is now seen as a global digital leader — whether in Japan, Thailand, or ASEAN — and platforms like IMC play a key role in showcasing our capabilities,” he added.



Dr. Neeraj Mittal, Secretary of DoT and Chairman of the Digital Communications Commission, noted:
“India Mobile Congress is more than an event; it represents the strategic role of telecom in economic growth, digital inclusion, and national security. From lagging in 4G to keeping pace in 5G, India now aims to lead in 6G. Through initiatives like TTDF, we are reducing risks for startups in a highly regulated global industry.”



Shri Abhijit Kishore, Chairman of COAI, remarked:
“Our theme for IMC 2025, ‘Innovate to Transform’, reflects our belief that technology must create real impact across sectors and borders. IMC will continue to be the platform that shapes India’s digital future.”



Key Announcements: Startup World Cup & Open API Hackathon

IMC 2025 also unveiled two major initiatives aimed at energizing the startup and developer ecosystems:

Startup World Cup 2025 – India Regional: Organized under the ASPIRE program in collaboration with Pegasus Tech Ventures, this prestigious pitch competition will give Indian startups a chance to win a $1 million grand prize at the global finals in San Francisco. The platform will connect founders with top investors, mentors, and global partners.

Open API Hackathon: In partnership with the GSMA Open Gateway initiative, this hackathon invites developers to build real-world applications using live telecom network APIs. The goal is to demonstrate how open APIs can unlock next-gen digital services across fintech, mobility, logistics, and more — features traditionally exclusive to telecom operators.


IMC 2025: What to Expect

Scheduled to take place from October 8–11, 2025, at Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, New Delhi, IMC 2025 is expected to draw over 150,000 visitors from 150+ countries, host 400+ exhibitors, and feature 7,000+ global delegates. The event will include 800+ speakers across 100 conference sessions, and showcase 1,000+ cutting-edge use cases spanning 5G, 6G, AI, IoT, electronics manufacturing, and green tech.

The ASPIRE program alone will connect startups to over 300 investors, incubators, VCs, and accelerators, reinforcing IMC’s commitment to catalyzing India’s innovation and entrepreneurship landscape.
