Normally, you have to go to the hospital or a diagnostic center to get your ECG done and only then you can know whether your heart is doing ok or not.

What if you can have a medical grade ECG, like the size of a car keychain right in your pocket?

“We’ve miniaturised the big ECG (electrocardiogram) machines you see at hospitals into this,” — Neha Rastogi,

Neha is an entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in creating affordable and technologically advanced healthcare products. Along with being the Founder of Agatsa, she is also the one who conceptualised and built the prototype of its flagship product – the SanketLife ECG monitor.

Agatsa was born out of worry. Back in 2013 when her father-in-law met with a sudden heart attack, her husband Rahul and she scoured the market for a portable ECG machine. The couple lived in Noida and his father in Lucknow, which meant repeated visits to the hospital for an ECG became increasingly difficult; they “REALLY NEEDED” something to keep a check on him.

But they COULD NOT FIND anything that they could use at home and still get a complete diagnosis, just like you would in a hospital.

"Find your purpose. Find that one thing that you want to solve for your country and for the world and just do it." Anything is possible. — Neha Rastogi
