Daybreak

India's life expectancy has doubled since 1950. But 65% of deaths are still from diseases caught too late.

Cent, the new startup from Practo's founder, thinks it has an answer: full-body AI scans that find risks before they become diagnoses.

At Rs 20,000–30,000 a scan, it's already found critical findings in hundreds of patients — with zero false positives, it claims.

But Cent doesn't diagnose. It doesn't refer. And it has no proprietary technology.

So what exactly are you paying for — and what happens after it finds something?
