About the Program

Hridyantra is an initiative led by IIT Kanpur (under the aegis of the upcoming School of Medical Research and Technology) in partnership with the country’s leading hospitals and the Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre, IIT Kanpur to develop the world’s most advanced Left Ventricular Assist device (LVAD).

The intellectual property contribution of each team member will be respected and protected. The program is aimed at the creation of a viable enterprise with one or more deployment-ready cardiac care product/s developed by the team. 

The selected fellows will work with the task force members, in a mission mode, to design and develop a fully functional LVAD. IIT Kanpur and the clinical partners will provide all the necessary facilities and mentorship to achieve the goal.  Fellows will receive curated suggestions and mentorship throughout the program from the task force members and external industry professionals with core domain expertise across the healthcare ecosystem. 

The journey of the fellows will commence with clinical immersion at Narayana Health Hospitals India where they will be exposed to the clinical nuances associated with cardiac surgery.
