The realm of healthcare technology is constantly changing, and we are witnessing significant leaps where new innovations are altering the lives of people every day. While the health-tech industry is now competent in detecting and curing almost all diseases, there is one conundrum that still bothers health experts: the exponentially increasing number of heart diseases globally. Mr. Rajat Jain, the CEO of Sunfox® Technologies, understood this global problem and decided to revolutionize the health-tech industry with a stupendous startup.
Heart diseases ranging from cardiac arrhythmia to heart attacks are the leading cause of death globally and account for approximately 28% of deaths in India. In the majority of cases, heart diseases take a valuable life, either due to ignorance of the symptoms or the unavailability of medical equipment in remote locations. The lack of accessible, affordable, and portable devices plays a key role in heart health issues, as early detection can prevent heart diseases and save lives. “We are solving this global health challenge by providing accessible, simple, and affordable product innovation,” says Rajat.
Sunfox® Technologies started off as a Research and Development lab in 2016 with the mission to save lives through accessible and affordable technologies. Their goal is to revolutionize the world and enhance the lives of millions by building a more efficient, effective, and equitable healthcare system for all.
Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, they work to develop cutting-edge technologies that can enhance patient monitoring, produce better and more accurate diagnoses, and develop more effective therapies. From preventive care and primary healthcare services to life-saving treatments, they are working religiously to ensure that no one is left behind.
What Led to the Founding of Sunfox®
After losing a close friend due to a sudden cardiac arrest, Rajat Jain, the founder, and CEO decided to make a change in the healthcare industry. Every year, many people lose their loved ones without saying goodbye due to heart health issues, especially in remote and hilly regions where medical facilities are not easily available. In his own words, “Patients have to travel at least 40 km to reach primary healthcare facilities, and there is no ECG facility available in such places. Sometimes, by the time they reach the hospital, they either collapse or suffer further complications during the treatment.”
The tragic loss of a friend led to the inspiration and motivation behind founding Sunfox® Technologies. This company was founded with the aim of developing healthcare solutions that are suitable for the Indian condition in terms of durability and portability while being cost-effective. “I am building this venture so that I can contribute my bit to saving millions of lives from preventable heart attacks. We are trying to make an impact on global health with the lean and frugal innovation approach,” says Rajat.
Sunfox® Technologies is a new-age medical technology company crafting advanced healthcare solutions for enhanced patient monitoring, improved disease management, and the prevention of heart health diseases. Committed to excellence in medical device development, they empower individuals and healthcare providers, fostering a community with shared well-being goals.
