Startup Story: StrideAIde


 The startup scene in India has been seeing tremendous activity in the last few years and with the emergence of Artificial intelligence , it has only lead to a faster growth in people trying to use AI in giving solutions to everyday problems.

The startup scene in India has been seeing tremendous activity in the last few years and with the emergence of Artificial intelligence , it has only lead to a faster growth in people trying to use AI in giving solutions to everyday problems.

StrideAIde was an offshoot of collaborative research between IISC & KIER. The scientists from IISC lead by Dr.Ananthasuresh from the mechanical engineering department and doctors from KIER lead by Dr.Belehalli Pavan from the department of Podiatry where working on giving solutions to diabetic population with diabetic foot wounds. After their first product – “Dynamic self offloading foot insoles” showed amazing field results , it was decided to take this collaboration a step further and include Artificial Intelligence in helping the team of doctors and scientists in delivering day to day solutions to people with various ankle and foot conditions.

StrideAIde further got strengthened by the joining of Dr. Sanjay Sharma and Mr.Manoj kumar.R as co-founders who have been entrepreneurs and leading some amazing inventions in their fields.

The Indian patent for the first product was obtained and strideAIde took it upon itself to bring the product into the market after further refinement. Other than this strideAIde also has been working on the “Digital Podiatry Clinic – D-PoC” which aims at making screening of diabetic feet accessible and affordable to the public and reducing the amputation rates in India.

The other future projects in the pipeline include development of “Digital foot twin” and “Development of LLM based clinical decision support system for Diabetic footcare”. StrideAIde has also been assisted tremendously by the BEST cluster which has been making sure that the necessary permissions and contacts are easily obtained.

The icing on the cake was when strideAIde was adjudged “Second best startup in the early medical devices category” in the recently held IKMC 2023 ( International Knowledge Millennium conference) at Hyderabad strengthening our belief that we are in the right place and moving in the right direction.

Here s to striding in the right direction with passion and foresight ; saving multiple feet from amputations and making India “Diabetic foot amputation free”. Let’s stride on…. was an offshoot of collaborative research between IISC & KIER.

Mobility and Health

Health on the Move: How Urban Mobility Shapes Our Well-being Our daily commutes and the way we navigate our cities do far more than just get us from one place to another. Urban mobility systems have a profound, often overlooked, impact on our public health. In a rapidly urbanizing world, understanding this critical intersection is key to building healthier, more livable cities. The Unseen Costs of Unsustainable Mobility When urban mobility prioritizes private vehicles and extensive road networks, the consequences for public health can be severe: • Air Pollution: Idling cars and heavy traffic lead to increased emissions of harmful pollutants,contributing to respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, and even premature deaths. These airborne toxins disproportionately affect vulnerable populations living near busy roads. • Physical Inactivity: A car-dependent urban design discourages walking and cycling, leading to more sedentary lifestyles. This, in turn, fuels the rise of no...

Pheromones in Insects

Image
( Image Courtesy: ©kozorog | AdobeStock) Definition of pheromones: Pheromones are chemicals produced as messengers that affect the behavior of other individuals of insects or other animals. They are usually wind borne but may be placed on soil, vegetation or various items. Tom Eisner, a foremost authority in the science of chemical use by insects, claims that each species of insect relies on some one hundred chemicals in its life, to engage in such routine activities as finding food and mates, aggregating to take advantage of food resources, protecting sites of oviposition, and escaping predation. It has been found that pheromones may convey different signals when presented in combinations or concentrations. Pheromones differ from sight or sound signals in a number of ways. They travel slowly, do not fade quickly, and are effective over a long range. Sound and sight receptors are not needed for pheromone detection, and pheromone direction is not limited to straight lines. Exa...
