As per a study conducted by Public health Foundation of India, about 55 million Indians get pushed into poverty in a single year due to patient- care costs. Many families even opt to not go for any treatment even when a member faces a life-threatening disease and a staggering 39 per cent do not receive any medical attention before death.

Intrigued by science at a very young age, Vikram Goel, Founder of medtech start-up Incredible Devices started experimenting and developing products to help those in need. His first innovation was a smart cane for the blind, developed during his school days. Today, with 6 patents to his name and many pathbreaking developments in process, Vikram is a member of the prestigious MIT Top 10 Innovators under 35 age club and has received many distinguished awards like the MARICO Innovation Award, India Innovation Growth Program , to name a few.

With Incredible Devices, Vikram and his team have been able to benefit more than 2.5 Lakh patients and also aim to develop a solution for COVID Warriors.
