Spandan Portable 12-Lead ECG for Clinics and Hospitals

Sunfox Technologies is an Indian medtech company established in 2016 as an R&D lab in Uttarakhand and now based in Dehradun. It targets the lack of ECG equipment and cardiologists in primary care, rural clinics and emerging markets, where delays in diagnosing heart attacks cost lives.

Spandan turns a smartphone into a 12-lead ECG machine. Spandan Pro is a 170 g, battery-free smart cable with 10 electrodes that records a sequential 12-lead ECG in under two minutes with AI-assisted interpretation and offline PDF reports. Spandan Ultra captures all 12 leads simultaneously in 10 seconds with defibrillator protection for hospitals and critical care, while Spandan Neo and Legacy serve screening. Reports can be shared via WhatsApp or email or sent to a paid doctor review service. Customers include clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, pharma companies and government tele-ECG programmes.

• Spandan Pro: 170 g smart cable with 10 electrodes for 12-lead ECG in under two minutes.
• Spandan Ultra: simultaneous 12-lead capture in 10 seconds with defibrillator protection.
• AI-assisted interpretation: automated analysis with instant standard A4 PDF reports.

• Doctor review service: paid expert second opinion on reports within minutes.
• API and hardware SDK: integration of Spandan devices into existing healthcare systems.

Vietnamese commune health stations could use Spandan with a provincial hospital reading centre to triage chest pain patients. Private clinic chains and pharmacies offering health checks could add in-house ECG at low cost. Ambulance and home-visit teams could record 12-lead ECGs on the spot and share them with cardiologists.

Clinics can perform a 12-lead ECG immediately instead of waiting 30 minutes or more for an external technician, and keep ECG billing in-house. The company reports 99.7% trace accuracy against gold-standard ECG machines. Devices start from INR 6,900 to INR 49,900, far below conventional ECG carts, and work offline without batteries. More than 5,000 doctors and clinics use Spandan, and a Haryana government tele-ECG project brought ECGs to primary and community health centres.

Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death worldwide, with most deaths in low- and middle-income countries where ECG machines and cardiologists are scarce outside cities. Smartphone-based diagnostics and tele-ECG networks are spreading across emerging Asian markets, and Vietnam's commune health stations and private clinics need low-cost ECG to triage chest pain before referral.
