Top 10 HealthTech AI Startups to Know

Here are the ten ventures recognised. at DHN City MeetUp Delhi 2026 –

1. Janitri

Founded in 2016 by Arun Agarwal, Janitri set out with a focused mission to make fetal and maternal monitoring affordable and accessible across India.

At a time when preventable maternal complications remain a systemic concern, Janitri built indigenous monitoring devices and digital platforms designed specifically for Indian hospital realities. Today, their solutions are being adopted across multiple healthcare institutions, and their recent collaboration with the Assam government signals expanding integration within public health systems.

DHN had earlier recognised Janitri under its healthtech innovation initiatives, and their growth since then reflects how targeted medtech can scale when aligned with real clinical need.

2. Flabs

Flabs is rethinking how radiology and pathology reporting actually happens on the ground. Its AI-powered radiology reporting allows doctors to dictate findings directly into the system, which understands clinical terminology, drafts structured reports instantly, and adapts to individual reporting styles, compressing reporting time dramatically.

On the pathology side, the platform goes deeper than basic LIS functions. It suggests relevant follow-up tests, simplifies complex findings into patient-friendly summaries, flags sample or machine inconsistencies, and tracks test progress in real time.

Founded in 2023 by Yash Chaudhary, Ayush Chauhan, Dhwaj Gupta, and Harsh Jha, the company represents a generation of healthtech founders strengthening the infrastructure layer that quietly supports every clinical decision made upstream.

3. RadpicsAI

With nearly 1.4 billion people and roughly 20,000 radiologists in India, the imbalance is structural. RadpicsAI’s response has been practical to build cloud-based imaging workflows that don’t just analyse scans, but intelligently prioritise them.

Launched in 2025 by Vikrant Vijay, Dr Shivam Arora, and Kapil Chadha, RadpicsAI operates where pressure is highest today, inside radiology rooms, handling rising scan volumes with limited specialist bandwidth.

Their recently introduced MedPACS platform surfaces time-sensitive cases, such as stroke or trauma, earlier in the queue, helping radiologists focus where urgency is highest. Instead of adding another layer of software, the company is embedding AI directly into clinical workflows to reduce delays and improve turnaround times.

In recognising RadpicsAI at the DHN City MeetUp Delhi, DHN acknowledged a new generation of diagnostic innovators who are not just building algorithms, but strengthening the operational backbone of Indian healthcare.

4. AiKenist

Founded in 2019 by Venkatesh Sharma and Ashwin Amarapuram, AiKenist has built an AI-based radiology suite designed to support diagnostic decision-making. Through platforms like QuickScan and QuickRad, the company focuses on enabling radiology departments with faster interpretation support, particularly in resource-constrained environments where turnaround time is critical.

Beyond workflow speed, AiKenist is also working on AI-accelerated MRI enhancements, aimed at improving detection across conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Its inclusion in the DHN Top 10 list reflects the growing role of AI-assisted diagnostics in mainstream hospital systems.

5. Qure.ai

Founded in 2016 by Dr Prashant Warier and Dr Pooja Rao, Qure.ai began with a clear focus on strengthening medical imaging through AI. At a time when diagnostic backlogs and specialist shortages were placing pressure on healthcare systems, the company developed AI solutions targeting high-burden conditions such as tuberculosis, stroke, and lung disease.

Over the years, its tools have moved beyond pilot environments and into hospital networks and public health programs across multiple countries, supporting clinicians in time-sensitive decision-making.

Recognised at the DHN City MeetUp Delhi among the Top 10 HealthTech AI Startups to Know, Qure.ai reflects how Indian-built diagnostic platforms are steadily integrating into mainstream healthcare delivery, both domestically and globally.

6. Niramai

Early detection has long been one of the biggest gaps in breast cancer care in India, particularly outside large urban centres. Niramai entered this space in 2016 with a different approach.

Founded by Dr Geetha Manjunath and Nidhi Mathur, the startup developed Thermalytix, an AI-powered, non-invasive screening solution that eliminates radiation and is designed to be more accessible across varied clinical settings. By rethinking how screening can be delivered, Niramai has enabled hospitals and outreach programs to expand preventive diagnostics to wider populations.

Today, its deployments across healthcare institutions reflect a broader shift; technology is not only improving diagnosis, but also reshaping how and where preventive care can reach women across the country.

7. AI Health Highway

Non-communicable diseases begin quietly, often undetected at the primary care level. AI Health Highway is building for that first point of contact. Its AI-enabled screening tools, including a digital stethoscope solution, are designed to support early detection and strengthen frontline clinical assessment. In regions where specialist access is limited, enabling quicker identification and informed referrals can significantly alter care pathways.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. (Maj) Satish S Jeevannavar, AI Health Highway reflects a deeper shift underway: prevention is becoming technology-enabled, portable, and scalable. By recognising AI Health Highway at the DHN City MeetUp Delhi, DHN highlighted the growing importance of intelligent screening solutions in enabling scalable, early-stage intervention.

8. BrainSightAI

Founded in 2019 by Laina Emmanuel and Rimjhim Agrawal, the startup uses AI-driven connectomics and advanced MRI analytics to map functional brain networks. Instead of looking at scans in isolation, its platform attempts to understand how regions of the brain interact, offering structured insights for neuro-psychiatric evaluation and treatment planning.

As conversations around mental health and neurological disorders move from the margins to the mainstream, tools that bring greater clarity to brain function are gaining relevance inside clinical settings.

Previously recognised by DHN under its healthtech innovation initiatives also, BrainSightAI’s trajectory reflects a larger shift; deep-tech research is steadily finding its place within real-world healthcare delivery.

9. HeyDoc AI
