In its first funding round, iCardin (Nuclius Health Pvt Ltd) — a Pune-based brain stroke and neurology healthtech startup — has reportedly raised $100,000 from UK-based businessman Jitendra Patel, who operates the Grandbydale drugstore business.
The startup, which focuses on preventing paralysis and assisting those already paralysed, plans to use the fresh funds to build a network of fully-equipped neurology care units across Pune and Mumbai.
The funds will also be used to create tele-stroke facilities that utilise telemedicine carts for conducting remote thrombolysis to administer care to stroke patients and prevent permanent brain damage.
