Nadi Pariksha

Digital Nadi-Pariksha and its Tracking

Science of Nadi Pariksha

The Nadi, an index of heart rate and mirror of our Mind & Body, is of great importance. According to ancient Ayurveda science, various Nadi patterns are indicators of the mind and body and their internal health components.
Nadi Pariksha i.e. pulse examination comes under 8-fold assessment tools described by Ayurveda.

Perception of Nadi and health diagnosis:
According to Ayurveda, Nadi Pariksha is key for assessment of many health parameters and Perception of Nadi and health diagnosis:
According to Ayurveda, Nadi Pariksha is essential for the assessment of many health parameters and underlying pathophysiology parameters.

  1. Nadi Gati (Manda, Vegavati)
  2. Nadi Guna
  3. Dosha avastha (predominant dosha)
  4. Updosha avastha (Sub-Dosha vitiation)
  5. Prakruti (Vikruti assessment)
  6. Agni (metabolic health-related complaints associated with a dominant Dosha)
  7. Bala (immunity/strength of person)
  8. Dhatu-Gata avastha (underlying Doshik predominance and its effects on various systems or probable pathophysiology)
  9. Hetu dyana (predictive causative factors, very similar in properties with prominent Guna and Dosha reflected by Nadi)
  10. Manas Bhav- Bhay, Chinta, Kaam, Krodh, and so on.

Nadi Pariksha is one of the traditional methods of performing health assessment in a non-invasive way. It is an extraordinary assessment tool and a boon in the field of the healthcare sector.
Sharangdhar Samhita, Bhavprakash, Yog Ratnakar, Ravan-Krut Nadi, and Nadi Tarangini are some old textbooks of Ayurveda that describe every single aspect of Nadi Pariksha. This assessment system is key for understanding Doshik imbalances, underlying pathophysiology, and even causative factors.

Based on Nadi analysis, Vaidya/ Ayurveda Physician emphasizes lifestyle modifications in terms of diet, water intake, exercise, and yoga in view of Prakruti, Vikruti, Ayurveda Aahar shastra, Aahar vidhi vishesh aayatane, Aahar nirman vidhi, Anna sanskar and Modern Science of Nutrition as Ayurveda states that every individual is different by their Prakruti, hence the Doshik configurations are also different inside their body.

An evidence-based Tech-Digital Nadi Pariksha

Evidence-based practice is the need of time for the Ayurveda and wellness sector as digital Nadi Pariksha can focus on personalized lifestyle corrections. Nadi Pariksha graphs and their analysis in the terminology of Ayurveda are now possible with the help of Nadi Tarangini.

Nadi graphs calculated in the form of energy, volume, speed, rhythm, and stiffness are translated into Ayurveda parameters with the expert’s advice and study. It is useful for Ayurveda practitioners to diagnose and analyze the Nadi patterns of the patients to understand their inner health.
In this fast-paced world where everything has to be ultra-efficient, Nadi Tarangini is an unparalleled technological advancement, providing systematic healthcare management. Nadi Tarangini auscultates subtle changes in overall health parameters based on Vata, Pitta and Kapha (Tridosha) by analyzing Nadi.

The analysis using Nadi-Tarangini Tech

As per classical texts, qualities or properties of Nadi / pulse such as pulse movement (Gati), speed of the pulse (Vega), stability of the pulse (Sthiratva), and hardness of the artery (Kathinya) play a major role in Nadi Pariksha. The classical texts emphasize the significance of Gati, a unique quality of the Nadi as part of Nadi Pariksha. As per texts, Gati plays an essential role in disease diagnosis. Sarpa, Manduk, and Hansagati for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha respectively are assessed through digital Nadi Pariksha too.

Monitoring and Tracking of Nadi graphs and its properties:

All these aspects of Nadi Pariksha are being considered, monitored and analyzed digitally using Sensor-based technology by Atreya Innovations. A report mentioning all minute parameters is generated that is a unique individual-specific health assessment card. The report can be assessed and co-related with associated complaints and it could be used for follow-up too. It is a simple, non-invasive technology that enables us to reach the root cause of health issues in a personalized manner and not just address the symptoms.
This is a perfect blend of ancient Ayurveda wisdom and technology that focuses on good QoL- Quality of life for everyone’s well-being.

Digital Medical Data & its Applications: New-age Reform & Revolution!!

As India is becoming more powerful & profound in digitizing the systems, making them accessible, stratified, transparent & secure, the inclination is towards getting a digitally abled Indian Healthcare system. Yes, you rightly understood. In the coming years, India may introduce a concept of a Digital Medical card for every citizen linked to an Aadhar Card, Insurance card, etc. Do you think it is not possible? Well, let’s look at how India became digitally & technically sound and connected and how India is using digital tech for Medical record-keeping in today’s era.

The healthcare data in India is quite fragmented and scattered across the country. The way an individual interacts ranges from rural to urban areas, from multiple diagnostic centers to private or public hospitals, from a small medical practitioner to a polyclinic facility, and from a traditional medicine set-up to a pharmacist. A new data format is getting created and applied everywhere. There are thousands of ways how data is generated and stored, it varies with technology, applications, and budget allocation. Though the medical system is evolving into a giant ecosystem, medical data collection and storage vary. It’s the need of the hour that we all think of having an ecosystem where the digital & tech usage for procuring data, storing data, and passing data through a secured method happen. It will allow an individual to get treatment without carrying piles of papers or reports from door to door, where a single card can be the identity of an individual’s inner health system.

The new reforms and policies taken up by the National Health Commission in India bought the National Health Stack, a platform being developed to support the collection, storage, and analysis of healthcare data in India. Additionally, the National Digital Health Mission started on 15th August 2020 by PM Narendra Modiji, aimed to create a digital infrastructure for healthcare delivery in India, which includes the use of digital health records and telemedicine. This initiative has the potential to transform healthcare in India by improving access to care, reducing costs, and improving health outcomes. Below are some of the applications of the Digital Medical records system:

  1. Epidemiological studies: Digital Medical data is used to conduct large-scale epidemiological studies to understand the prevalence and distribution of non-communicable and communicable diseases across India. This can help in identifying risk factors for non-communicable diseases and developing strategies to prevent and control them.
  2. Clinical trials: Digital Medical data is used to conduct clinical trials to test the safety and efficacy of new drugs and treatments. This can help in developing new treatments for diseases that are prevalent in India.
  3. Disease surveillance: Digital Medical data is used to monitor the spread of infectious & communicable diseases and track outbreaks. This can help in early detection and response to outbreaks, which can help in reducing the spread of diseases. This can be efficient in Malaria, Dengue, or even Covid-19 outbreaks.
  4. Personalized medicine: Digital Medical data can be used to develop personalized medicine based on an individual’s genetic makeup and other factors. This can help in developing more effective treatments that are tailored to an individual’s needs. Ayurveda is the source of personalized medicine tradition in the world and with digitization, we can now create awareness and reach of Ayurveda in the remotest of places using modern tech.
  5. Health policy: Digital Medical data is used to create informed health policy decisions, such as the allocation of resources to different areas of healthcare. This can help in improving the overall health of the population. We can cover a large population and also create target-oriented policy by mapping and tracking high-risk sources helping the Health Policy to become more sustainable and specific.

One such specific application which is currently having a national as well as global reach is using Digital Medical data along with Ayurveda to help get more accurate predictions. We all know, Ayurveda places great emphasis on personalized treatment plans, based on an individual’s unique body constitution and health status. Digital Medical data can help Ayurveda practitioners to gather and analyze information about their patients, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations. This unique application can be now actually done with the help of a Digitized Nadi Pariksha device. Yes, you heard it right!

The Digital Nadi Pariksha device named Nadi Tarangini is a cutting-edge technology that uses a combination of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and computer vision to analyze pulse movements and generate a digital report securely.

This device can be used to monitor and assess a range of medical conditions, and inner health parameters (doshas, gunas, strotas, deviations, etc.) with utmost precision.

One of the key benefits of the Nadi Tarangini device is its ability to generate highly accurate and detailed Inner Health data. This data can be used to track changes in an individual’s condition over time, monitor treatment progress and identify potential issues before they become serious. Also, it helps in keeping a track of their inner health. Additionally, the device is non-invasive and easy to use, making it an ideal tool for Ayurveda Practitioners to track their patients.

The Nadi Tarangini device can be used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, spas, and rehabilitation centers. By using the Nadi Tarangini device to generate Digital Medical data, healthcare providers can improve the accuracy of diagnoses, enhance treatment outcomes, and reduce the overall cost of care. Additionally, patients can benefit from the convenience and accessibility of this technology, which can help them to manage their health more effectively and efficiently.

Overall, the Nadi Tarangini device is one of the first-of-its-kind, non-invasive applications that can be used to create India’s first-ever Digital Medical Health record system based on Ayurveda & AI-powered forming “A Healthcare- Ecosystem”. Its innovative technology, combined with its ease of use and accuracy, make it an invaluable application for healthcare providers and patients to not only use an indigenous technology application as a revolution but creating new-age reforms and solutions.

Nadi Pariksha to find out prognosis of cancer.

Cancer, one of the most challenging and spreading diseases of the 21st century, which has now officially become the most dangerous killer in the world according to the World Health Organization.

No one can deny the fact that cancer is related to modernization and an unhealthy and stressful lifestyle. Scientists are making their best efforts to fight against this disease; however, the sure-shot cure is still awaited.
In ayurveda, the concept of cancer is discussed by Charaka and Sushruta as Arbud and Granthi (inflammatory and non-inflammatory swelling) in our body.
Vata, Pitta Kapha are 3 critical forces which maintain our healthy status.

In cancer these 3 forces are completely disturbed causing tissue damage (dhatu vitiation), metabolic disaster and signs and symptoms of cancer.
Granthi can be considered benign tumours , Arbuda resembling malignant tumours.
Granthi along with all ३ dosha in association with mansa, meda, asthi dhatu forming defined capsulated swelling, palpable, more painful if vata dominated, burning if pitta, and dull or no pain heaviness if kapha dominated.
In Arbuda- malignant tumours, similar to granthi pathogenesis but dominated by pitta dosha and rasa, rakta dhatu, causing severe inflammatory and tissue damaging and rapid body wide spread. This Makes it challenging to treat and even difficult to control its spread in the body.
Imbalanced all 3 dosha loses coordination with all dhatu (body tissues), deterioration of normal body system function expressing wide range of signs and symptoms with loss of appetite, sudden weight loss (Cachexia), pain, disturbed body system functioning, reassembling with other normal disorders, this is making cancer challenging to detect in early stages.
Diagnosis through ashtavidha pariksha, mainly nadi pariksha can be done with experts in Ayurveda.
Nadi, which is durbal, Kathin, gambhir shows above symptoms of cancer. Also, as per predominance of dosha nadi properties are observed.
Prognosis in different stages of cancer and its severity can be diagnosed with Nadi pariksha. Sukhasadhya, kashtasadhya or asadhya.
To avoid and as preventative care, everyone should follow a healthy lifestyle and stress-free mind. Consult an Ayurveda physician to diagnose cancer in an early stage to gain a healthy and peaceful life.

The Three Company

Ayurveda is a ‘wholistic’ science. Atleast that’s what you must have heard or read somewhere, before reading this post. But have you ever given it a thought? As to what exactly does it mean by wholistic? What difference does it make? Is it really that important or is it just a glamorous word in a medical field?


The subject ( or in layman’s language a patient ) has remained always of tertiary importance for modern science. The centre of attraction was and is – the disease and not the ‘diseased’. This omission substantially narrowed down the lens of observation. This disease centric approach viz. objective (and indeed an important aspect) cuts down the equally important – subjective approach i.e. \ body centric which in simple words means observing not just a disease but a person suffering from the same.

Ayurveda contemplates….It eyes both the aspects equally. Because understanding a sufferer, is as equally important as understanding the suffering. That’s what wholistic is all about!

The fundamentals on which this all rests are the 3 pillers – dosha (vital and ultimate elements), dhatu (various bodily tissues holding the body) and mala (excretory products).

Major among these, are 3 doshas owing their unquestionable significance to authoritative management of whole body through remaining two i.e. 7 dhatus and 3 malas.

They are the ultimate, presidential and inescapable entities of human stratums.

They have presiding effect on every material – immaterial, anatomical – physiological, physical – psychological features of our bodies. Their working area is extended from head to toe, leaving nothing out of their order.

If this is so, how do they do it?

We are an integral part of Mother Nature. Everything we need for living is resourced from it. We arise from it, we live with it and unite with it after death. This observation made the ancient physicians to think on the similitude between human body and nature. And in the process of understanding, they reduced the energies of nature to threefold – air, fire and coldness which represent motion, conversion/change and uniting/associating forces respectively in outside world. These three express themselves in the inner environment of human body as – Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Every metabolic function happening in a living body is a part and parcel of doshic system.
Let’s try to comprehend…
Every movement – be it your respiration, pumping of your heart, food carriage through digestive track, excretion, functions of your senses & mind and every motion occurring in your body is governed by Vata. Along with these, speaking, hearing, tactile sensation, keeping digestion at optimum level, joint movements, maintaining freshness & enthusiasm are all exercised by Vata.

Though our body is a miniature expression of a nature, there are differences. You can’t just go in open and eat whatever you like and expect your body to grow. Change is mandatory. Pitta, embodying the functions of fire from outer environment, is responsible for change in a form of anything entering a body from outside so as to get adapted and assimilated to our inner environment. It is responsible for digestion, vision, skin color & its glow, temperature regulation of body and many others.

Kapha on other hand is an associating force, responsible for uniting and connecting different tissues and cells and is directly responsible for growth. Understanding various tastes, unobstructed joint movements by providing those with cushions in between, strength, virility are maintained by Kapha.

Same features of motion, change and association can be attributed at the level of psyche. A controlled motion of thoughts without bewildering speed by vata, analytical thinking of perceived thoughts by pitta and stability and calmness under any circumstances by kapha maintains psychological health as subtly as nature of mind.

The quantitative and qualitative balance of these three is critical for health. If one of them goes off balance, illness comes in. Their equivalence is given so much importance by Ayurvedic texts and physicians that their harmony is virtually considered as health and disharmony as illness.

Remember,
Wherever there is motion there is vata,
Wherever there is change there is pitta and
Wherever there is association there is kapha.

This is the most subtle yet clinically and practically expounding principle of Ayurvedic system of health, going beyond boundaries of country, cast and creed.
And understanding them is the first step taken towards healthy and happy life…
