Start-ups in health sciences – Role of Atal incubation centre in health science by Dr. Tej Chingtham , CEO AIC-SMUTBI
FROM 28 May 2025 TO 28 May 2025
Venue : SMU @
Traditional
healthcare systems often focus on management of widespread conditions, without
reflecting on cost saving/ alternative strategies / faster cures leaving niche
problems unaddressed. Start-ups help an idea being fostered to a final product
which may be the need of the hour. Without startups, the pace of improvement in
healthcare would stall, leaving many needs unmet
Dr.
Chingtham, CEO of Atal Incubation Centre at SMIT, told the audience about the
journey of incubation centre at SMIT and highlighted the role of the AIC in
funding start-ups which are profitable in various parts of the country. He
highlighted the processes involved in start-ups and gave examples on how people
come up with an idea and how it is mentored till the product is launched. He
cited two of the start-ups in health sciences where one of the goggles was used
by a visually impaired person, which could tell the person what the product
was. Another start-up which was cited by Dr. Chingtham was of Telemedicine
kiosk which could be installed in different locations and could taken BP, ECG
etc.
Dr
Chingtham spoke about how to navigate the unique challenges and opportunities
within the rapidly evolving healthcare innovation landscape, allowing them to
develop effective solutions that address unmet patient needs, leverage new
technologies, and successfully launch and scale innovative healthcare products
and services.
The talk was organised by Dr. Saumen Gupta and Prof Nikita J Sonowal. The target audience was health care innovators and providers.
