Akash Manoj

Akash Manoj is an Indian cardiology researcher and inventor from Tamil Nadu.[1] He is known for his award-winning research on "silent" heart attacks.[2] He developed a novel technique that can non-invasively detect and alert at-risk patients of a potential asymptomatic heart-attack. His method involves transcutaneously isolating, identifying, spectroscopically analyzing, and sensing elevation in the levels of a cardiac biomarker called heart-type fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP) in realtime – a process that significantly establishes a path to preventative cardiovascular healthcare.[3][4]
