The Critical Challenge

When someone suffers a head injury, rapid assessment is crucial. Undetected traumatic brain injury leads to paralysis, neurological disorders, and death.

In India, with only 0.55 hospital beds per 1,000 people and 75% of infrastructure in urban areas, rural patients face average travel distances over 100km to reach CT scan facilities. This delay during the critical golden hour often results in permanent disability.

What Healthcare Professionals Say

Real feedback from leading medical professionals in Jaipur's premier hospitals

"

There is an urgent need for an objective TBI detection method beyond the subjective Glasgow Coma Scale. The device would be especially useful with venous blood samples in emergency settings during the golden hour.

Dr. Bhawani Shankar Mishra

Deputy General Manager & DNB Program Coordinator
Eternal Hospital (EHCC), Jaipur
23 years clinical practice • 125+ clinical trials

"

The device would be especially useful in primary and secondary hospitals lacking on-site neurosurgeons, to guide timely transfers. I'm willing to trial the device for 15–30 days in my department.

Dr. Vishuddha Kaushal

Head of Department & Senior Consultant
Emergency Medicine, Eternal Hospital (EHCC), Jaipur

"

Only 20–30% of head-injury CT scans actually confirm TBI. An objective test would be highly valued to reduce unnecessary scans and help persuade patients to seek surgery sooner when indicated.

Dr. Akshay Kumar Mangal

Associate Consultant
Neuro & Spine Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Jaipur

"

Only about 2% of CT scans for head injury actually find a TBI in our hospital. Small private hospitals would benefit most—where a quick TBI test could guide whether to transfer patients to higher centers.

Dr. Swati Joshi

Professor of Radiology
Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur

"

50–60% of head injury CT scans are effectively unnecessary. A rapid test could help screen out minor cases. The device should be as simple as a glucometer—enabling use by any ER staff with minimal training.

Dr. Yugal Dutt

Senior Resident, Emergency Department
Narayana Hospital, Jaipur

"

Treating TBI within the first hour is critical—mortality roughly doubles after the first hour without intervention. Position the device as an adjunct to CT scans, not a replacement, to make it acceptable to the medical community.

Dr. V. D. Sinha

Former HOD of Neurosurgery
SMS Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur

"

The device should be portable and usable by nurses or paramedics in pre-hospital settings. Primary health centers could use it to convince families to accept referral by providing tangible evidence of brain injury.

Dr. Gaurav Bhargava

Head of Emergency Department
CK Birla Hospital, Jaipur

"

Getting a CT scan done can take 1 to 1.5 hours even in a city hospital. About 40% of smaller hospitals in Jaipur have no CT scanner. A bedside TBI device would be great, especially at night. I'd enthusiastically pilot this device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Bio-Stride's TBI diagnostic technology

How accurate is Bio-Stride compared to CT scans? +
Bio-Stride demonstrates 96.5% clinical sensitivity and 92% specificity in detecting traumatic brain injuries. While CT scans remain the gold standard for imaging brain structures, Bio-Stride serves as a crucial screening tool to determine whether a CT scan is necessary, potentially reducing unnecessary radiation exposure and healthcare costs.
How does the device detect brain injuries? +
Bio-Stride uses proprietary electrochemical sensor technology to detect specific proteins released into the bloodstream when brain cells are damaged. Our device analyzes these neurological injury markers in a tiny blood sample, providing an objective indication of traumatic brain injury within 15 minutes of collection. The technology is based on clinically validated biomarkers approved by regulatory authorities.
How much does each test cost? +
Based on our survey of healthcare professionals, the target price is ₹300-₹1,000 per test cartridge, which is significantly more cost-effective than CT scans (₹1,500-₹3,000+ in private hospitals). The device itself costs approximately ₹1.5L, making it 100X cheaper than CT machines (₹1.5Cr+).
Can nurses or paramedics operate the device? +
Yes, Bio-Stride is designed to be operated by trained nurses and paramedics without requiring specialized medical expertise. The device features an intuitive interface and automated testing protocols, making it ideal for use in ambulances, emergency departments, and rural clinics where specialists may not be immediately available.
How does this help rural healthcare providers? +
Rural providers often lack access to CT scanners and neurosurgical expertise. Bio-Stride enables them to quickly determine if a patient needs to be transferred to a higher-level facility for emergency brain surgery, reducing unnecessary transfers while ensuring critical cases receive timely care. This is especially important given India's healthcare infrastructure challenges.
What regulatory approvals are needed? +
Bio-Stride will require CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation) approval in India before commercial deployment. We are currently conducting clinical validation studies and preparing regulatory submission documents. The device uses FDA-validated biomarkers, which should facilitate the approval process.
When will the device be available for purchase? +
We are currently in the clinical validation phase and expect to begin pilot programs with select healthcare facilities in 2025. Following successful clinical trials and regulatory approval, commercial availability is projected for 2026. Interested healthcare providers can register for early access programs and pilot testing opportunities.
How does Bio-Stride help during the "golden hour"? +
The "golden hour" refers to the critical first hour after brain injury when prompt intervention can save lives and prevent permanent disability. Bio-Stride provides results in 15 minutes, allowing healthcare providers to make crucial treatment decisions quickly. This is especially valuable in ambulances and emergency departments where every minute counts for patient outcomes.
What makes Bio-Stride different from existing diagnostic methods? +
Unlike subjective assessments like the Glasgow Coma Scale, Bio-Stride provides objective, quantitative results. It can detect brain injuries that may not show up on initial CT scans, such as diffuse axonal injuries. The device requires only a tiny blood sample (20μL), works in 15 minutes, and costs 100X less than CT machines while being completely portable.
How can Bio-Stride reduce unnecessary CT scans? +
Studies show that 50-70% of head injury CT scans show no significant findings. Bio-Stride can serve as an initial screening tool to identify which patients truly need CT imaging. This reduces radiation exposure (especially important for children), saves healthcare costs, and frees up CT resources for patients who actually need them, while still ensuring no critical cases are missed.
Is Bio-Stride suitable for pediatric cases? +
Yes, Bio-Stride is particularly valuable for pediatric head injuries. Many physicians are cautious about ordering CT scans for children due to radiation risks. Bio-Stride offers a radiation-free screening method that can help determine whether a CT scan is truly necessary for a child, potentially reducing unnecessary radiation exposure while ensuring appropriate care.
How does the device work in resource-limited settings? +
Bio-Stride is specifically designed for resource-limited settings. It's portable, battery-powered, requires minimal training, and costs significantly less than CT scanners. This makes it ideal for rural clinics, primary health centers, and smaller hospitals that lack neuroimaging facilities. The device can help these facilities make informed decisions about patient transfers to higher-level care centers.
Can Bio-Stride help with patient family communication? +
Yes, having an objective test result can significantly help doctors communicate the severity of a brain injury to patients and families. This is especially valuable when convincing patients to accept transfer to specialized care or undergo necessary surgery. The concrete, quantitative result provides clear evidence that supports medical recommendations and treatment decisions.
