For investors

One assessment engine, four products: a tablet assessment for clinics, screening on a phone, wellness programmes, and an API for calls and trials.

The market

A large problem that is mostly unseen.

Why now

Three things changed.

Treatments need early cases

New Alzheimer's drugs work best early. Finding people early is now the bottleneck.

Tests were not built for India

Paper tests assume schooling and English. Most older Indians have neither.

Tablets are already in clinics

A tablet and a trained nurse are enough. No new hardware, no specialist needed.

Where we are

Honest about the stage.

We will share real, dated numbers in the deck. Nothing here is a performance claim.

  1. Product

    Done

    ZD Assessment built for tablets: 16 core tasks across nine areas, safety checks, report and referral.

  2. Clinical guidance

    Done

    Neurologists and clinical psychologists from SGPGIMS, RMLIMS and Apollomedics.

  3. Backing

    Done

    Funded by MeitY, incubated at ISF-CIED, NVIDIA compute partner.

  4. Pilots

    Next

    Planned in Lucknow with hospitals and 10+ old age homes, after ethics approval.

  5. Validation

    Next

    Clinical validation studies next. The voice and eye engine is in development.

Questions investors ask.

  • No. ZD Assessment is an investigational research prototype, not a diagnostic device. Pilots and clinical validation come first; the regulatory plan is in the data room.

  • Hospitals and clinics for the assessment, employers and insurers for wellness programmes, and pharma, CROs and health platforms for the API.

  • Most older Indians are never assessed, and existing tests assume schooling and English. Built for India, the same engine adapts to other languages.

  • It is in development. It will be validated in clinics before it is used for care.

  • Assessment records are encrypted on the tablet. Voice or eye recordings are collected only with separate consent, under the DPDP Act 2023.
