OMRON Healthcare Announces Second Investment in Tricog Health to Advance AI-Powered Cardiac Care in India

According to WHO data, cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases are the number one and two causes of death in India.

OMRON Healthcare Co., Ltd. today announced an additional investment in India-based AI MedTech startup Tricog Health India Private Limited. This marks OMRON Healthcare’s second wave of investment in Tricog, following the initial one in March 2023, further strengthening their partnership to accelerate business growth.

India’s Pressing Cardiovascular Challenges

According to WHO data, cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases are the number one and two causes of death in India. Against the backdrop of changing lifestyles and a rapidly aging population, the number of patients is expected to continue rising.

At the same time, healthcare providers in India face multiple constraints. Per capita, India has far fewer certified cardiologists than Japan or the United States, resulting in a severe shortage of specialists qualified to analyze ECG data. Furthermore, not all medical facilities have access to advanced diagnostic equipment required for tests such as ECG.

To address these needs and enable timely preventive care, Tricog Health combines cutting-edge AI analysis—built on more than a decade of ECG data—with the expertise of over 100 in-house clinical specialists. Together, these strengths support the development of devices and services tailored to frontline clinical workflows.

Remote Monitoring Collaboration for Heart-Failure Care

Since 2023, OMRON Healthcare and Tricog Health have been collaborating on the development and launch of KeeboHealth, a remote monitoring service for heart-failure patients. The service integrates Tricog’s AI-based ECG analytics with OMRON’s connected electrocardiograph devices.

By analyzing home-recorded ECG and blood pressure data and sharing the results with physicians, the service enhances diagnostic efficiency and helps prevent post-treatment recurrence, ensuring better continuity of care for patients.

Deepening the Partnership Toward “Going for ZERO”

Through this new investment, OMRON Healthcare aims to further strengthen its strategic partnership with Tricog Health. The companies have set ambitious joint goals to introduce solutions aligned with India’s clinical needs while advancing the development and delivery of high-value medical devices and services.

This collaboration is also an integral part of OMRON Healthcare’s global corporate mission, “Going for ZERO,” which envisions a future where adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events are completely eliminated.

Leaders Speak on the Collaboration

Dr. Charit Bhograj, CEO of Tricog Health, said:
“Together, we will accelerate a hospital-to-home rollout, pairing OMRON’s world-class medical devices with Keebo™ AI-powered, guideline-aware workflows to streamline diagnosis, improve cardiovascular management, and reduce avoidable healthcare costs across Asia, Africa, and other key international markets.”

Ayumu Okada, President and CEO of OMRON Healthcare Co., Ltd., stated:
“India is at a pivotal moment in addressing cardiovascular disease, and we are proud to deepen our partnership with Tricog Health to bring advanced remote patient monitoring services and early detection to patients nationwide.

We take a proactive approach to strategic partnerships—working with collaborators who help us move faster and innovate further. Combining Tricog’s AI-driven cardiology platform with OMRON’s medical technology will improve outcomes, reduce risk, and bring us closer to our global vision of ‘Going for ZERO’
