- Akash Manoj (16) has been reading medical literature for fun since he was in the 8th standard. It comes as a little surprise then that this Class 10 student has developed a device to predict ‘silent’ heart attacks, identified as one a major health risk for thousands of Indians. Akash Manoj, a 16-year-old changemaker-researcher who's exclusively working on low-cost health-care diagnostics, is an Ashoka Youth Venturer and President's gold medalist! His research on detection of asymptomatic heart attacks is internationally recognized and validated.
Akash Manoj has been reading medical literature for fun since he was in the 8th standard. It was his grandfather’s death that prompted him to take up this project. His grandfather due to other ailments had a silent heart attack, collapsed and died. This motivated Akash to take the initiative to move ahead and make a difference.
Heart attacks usually show symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath but in the case of silent heart attacks, they can often be mistaken for a normal flu or uneasiness. Akash decided to go through various resources to make a device which would help detect such a threat and help the masses at an early stage to act on it.
Akash believes that this device can be used for the greater good by saving many lives, especially of those living in the rural areas who do not have easy access to a hospital.
The medical product is likely to surface in 2018 at a cost of Rs 900. Manoj wants the government to promote his invention and not the private industry, who he feels will kill it since it is cost-effective.

If you had made this some time ago. So maybe my father would be with me today too. Never mind that someone else's father will be saved now, thanks brother

Is this product already available market to buy?
Very impressive. I'm involved in the multi-parameter wearable space and would like to speak with Aakash Manoj about his product.
So amazed that this comment from 3 years ago does not have more upvotes. But it is number one. That's a win.
You are awesome dude...
Way to go Akash!!!
No one can beat you Akash!!!!
It would be a great help to one and all...I have been seeing this type of videos since a year n half.. Have u launched this product or not?? If yes where and how to buy it..? If not launched... then what would be the probable date of launch?? Please kindly reply whatever...
Fantastic!
Excellent...with very useful innovation
Way of explanation is very good ..thank u for ur struggle
Great going Akash .. Proud of u
Where can we get this device?
This would help so many!!! Where can we buy it?
Inspirational 😇😇
Brilliant work
It would be great if the video linked to an article or something describing the methodology more in details with data. Like what is the sensitivity and specificity. If you're detecting markers then you're not diagnosing it 6 hours before. You're detecting it as it happens. No matter. I hope this idea has actual merit to it.
Thanks for making this device for mankind ... Have you launched it in market??
AMAZING 😊
And what is the name of this device and when will be available in our country's market
Excellent..👍
Is the device launched in the market?
Appreciate.
Nice helped me a lot

Kindly publish any tentative date for this actual product or plans?
Even we are waiting .. Where can we buy?
BTW .. Wonderful work, kid. At an age where boys are interested in talking about movies / cricket - you chose to focus on something that is really useful to the world. God bless you.
Amazing

How much is it? Where can I get it?
Somebody fund this kid!
Can we purchase this device, we wanna to make a project including this device.
Hello Akash. This is a marvelous life saving invention. I recently had a silent heart attack. Is your invention available in America?
Sounds interesting. However most biomarkers are more akin to a "smoking gun" or leaked gun powder than an active SOS.
super bro
Good job! Buti'm sure the big drug companies and unscrupulous doctors will make sure that this doesn't see the light of day.
I miss my dad 😣😭😢😖
i wanna just this device for my final project. please, you tell me how can i communicate with you for any help when i have to need..please'''
did you finish your proj?
did you finish your project bro?
This information is not sufficient for reality.
Where is the prototype besides "lectures"..!!?
You need serious publicity. .. 770 views is very less. ..
can you imagine all these devices yet they allow processed food to continue to be sold and not tell people what causes arterial damage

Great words of mouth, but I think your patent or Research paper would speak louder than your words.
ps- I did not find a thesis or patent on the internet.
your shirt is to big
Scam
Can you please stay in India and make India proud, we Indians need to stop making USA great, anyways they will not realise our contribution until we stop brain drain;
