“We are thrilled to collaborate with Medtronic in our combined objective to alleviate the burden of heart rhythm disorders in India,” said Anand Madanagopal, founder and chief executive officer at CDL.  “The collaboration holds immense promise for the future of cardiac care in India. The launch of Padma Rhythms?marks the coming together of?a?decade of building an indigenous platform with strong R&D focus and interplay of technologies that can bring?a?tectonic shift?in the prevailing cardiac monitoring approaches.”

Proven with over two million hours of ECG from patients, CDL’s proprietary algorithms have been benchmarked against the best globally and remain core to their innovation and commitment to high standards of performance.2 This combined with the integrated platform assures test outcomes and accuracy in rhythm diagnosis. 

“Cardiac rhythm disorders can often exhibit subtle symptoms and can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Affordable diagnostic solutions ensures that everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, can access essential diagnostic tools, leading to earlier detection and timely intervention,” said Dr. Devi Shetty, chairman of Narayana Health. “It is initiatives like these that will help address the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases in the country."

Padma Rhythms® ELR features dual ECG channels for precise abnormality detection, a high-resolution 16-bit ECG for accurate data analysis, and proprietary AI-powered algorithms for efficient monitoring. The device is disposable, easily activated, water-resistant, and breathable, ensuring comfort and reliable performance.
