Clinical-grade diagnostics, monitoring, and intervention systems.

The Burden We Build Against

Five systems.
One measurement problem.

Chronic disease does not respect organ boundaries, and neither does the diagnostic gap. Select a system to see what the global evidence says.

The largest burden of all

In GBD 2021, conditions of the nervous system overtook cardiovascular disease as the single biggest contributor to global disease burden.

Signals That Get Missed

It rarely announces
itself clearly.

Across every organ system, early disease borrows the vocabulary of ordinary complaints — or produces no complaint at all. That is why people wait, and why the measurement that would have explained it was never taken.

Cardiovascular

Mistaken for indigestion

Burning behind the breastbone after a heavy meal reads as heartburn. An antacid is taken, the discomfort dulls, and the episode is filed away as gas.

Cardiovascular

Mistaken for anxiety

A racing heart, tight chest, breathlessness and a sense of dread describe a panic attack almost exactly. It also describes an arrhythmia, and the two are routinely confused in both directions.

Renal

Mistaken for getting older

Chronic kidney disease is largely silent through its early stages. Fatigue, poor sleep and swollen ankles get attributed to age or overwork, and function is often well below half before anyone looks.

Hepatic

No symptoms at all

Fatty liver disease typically produces nothing a patient would report. It is found incidentally on a scan ordered for something else — or not at all, until fibrosis is established.

Neurological

Gone within the hour

A transient episode of weakness, slurred speech or vision loss resolves before anyone reaches a clinic. Nothing is recorded, and the warning that preceded a stroke goes unexamined.

Musculoskeletal

Found by the fracture

Bone loss is painless. For many people the first evidence of osteoporosis is the fragility fracture itself — a diagnosis made after the damage rather than before it.

If you think you are having a heart attack or a stroke, call emergency services now.

In India dial 112 or 108. Do not wait to take a reading, and do not drive yourself. In both heart attack and stroke, minutes of delay cost tissue permanently.

No device on this page can rule out an emergency. A normal ECG does not exclude a heart attack — a large share of acute myocardial infarctions show no diagnostic change on the first trace, which is why hospitals repeat the ECG and run troponin blood tests. The same logic applies across systems: a single normal reading is not an all-clear. Our systems are built to record what happens over time so a clinician has evidence to interpret. They support diagnosis. They never replace emergency care.

Category Matters

A spot check and a
diagnostic study
are not the same thing.

Both are useful. They answer different questions, carry different regulatory weight, and fail in different ways. Confusing them is how a normal reading gets mistaken for reassurance.

Point-of-care & screening

A snapshot, on demand

Answers: “Does something look off right now?”

·Single lead or few leads. Enough to see rate and rhythm, not enough to localise ischaemia across the heart.
·User-initiated. It records when someone decides to take a reading — which is rarely the moment the episode occurs.
·Indicative output. Designed to prompt a visit, not to close a question. Often cleared as a wellness or screening device.
·Fails silently. A normal snapshot between episodes looks identical to a healthy heart, and is easily read as an all-clear.
Diagnostic device

A record a clinician can act on

Answers: “What happened, when, how often, and for how long?”

Continuous or full-lead acquisition. The signal is captured whether or not anyone was watching.
Defined intended use. Developed against the recognised ambulatory ECG standards, with a documented performance envelope.
Evidence, with provenance. Timestamped strips, symptom markers and confidence scores, attached to every automated classification.
Interpretation stays clinical. The output is a study a cardiologist reads and signs, not a verdict handed to a patient.

Atria® 21-Day is an ambulatory rhythm monitor. It is designed to capture and classify arrhythmia across a three-week window — not to diagnose myocardial infarction, and not for use in an emergency.

The Gap

Diagnostics stop where
the infrastructure stops.

Three constraints put clinical measurement out of reach long before a diagnosis is ever missed.

01

Equipment is immobile

A hospital-grade instrument stays in the hospital. The patient with intermittent symptoms, the pilgrim at altitude, the village three hours from a district centre — none of them are standing next to it when it matters.

02

Interpretation needs a specialist

A trace is only useful if someone can read it. Where cardiologists are scarce, the recording gets made and then waits. Classification has to move to the point of measurement, not the other way round.

03

Connectivity can't be assumed

Cloud-dependent diagnostics fail exactly where they are needed most. A device that requires bandwidth to reach a verdict is a device that does not work in the last mile.

How We Work

Measure. Interpret. Deliver.

One team owns the signal path from electrode to report. No hand-offs at bring-up, no vendor in the middle of the diagnosis.

01 — Measure

Clinical-grade acquisition

Biopotential front-ends with sub-microvolt noise floors and defibrillator-grade isolation. Guard traces, isolated power planes and shielded analogue grounds are non-negotiable on every board we lay out.

02 — Interpret

Inference on the device

A 238,000-parameter model quantised into roughly 5 KB, running on a Cortex-M alongside the acquisition loop. The verdict is reached where the measurement is taken — offline, and without a round trip.

03 — Deliver

Into the clinician's hands

Encrypted transit, immutable audit trails, and FHIR R4 or HL7 v2 connectivity into existing EMR and LIMS. Automated classification arrives with its confidence and the underlying strip attached — interpretation stays with the clinician.

Where We Work

Designed for the
last mile first.

We build from Lucknow for conditions we can see: intermittent power, limited bandwidth, and clinics operating a long way from a tertiary centre. A system that holds up here holds up anywhere.

Mecklin Research currently holds no certifications, accreditations or market authorisations. The frameworks listed above are the pathways our development is being aligned to; none has been completed or granted. No product described on this site is cleared or approved for commercial diagnostic use in any market, and nothing here should be read as a regulatory claim.
