Sparcolife Technologies: A Digital Health platform empowering people to live a healthier, happier and productive life!!

Is technology a boon or bane? This question had us baffled for decades! There is absolutely no doubt that the tech culture has revolutionized the world, opening doors to new opportunities and greatly impacting our lives at different levels, changing the way we think, communicate, work and live. However, excessive indulgence in digital technology is adversely affecting people’s mental and physical health.

These alarming health concerns caught the attention of Pooja HS, who co-founded Sparcolife Digital Healthcare (Vyana Life) – a full-stack healthcare platform equipped with Digital Diagnostic and Digital Therapeutic Systems to medicate ailments/conditions caused by the digital lifestyle. The core objective of this unique initiative is to underline how digital technologies are responsible for behavioural, physical, and emotional disruptions, giving rise to perilous problems such as low productivity/creativity, inactivity, obesity, infertility, social & emotional complications, and so forth.

Sparcolife Technologies is one of the twelve startups shortlisted for the seventh edition of the Qualcomm Design in India Challenge (QDIC 2022). The Qualcomm Design in India Challenge is an initiative by Qualcomm started in 2016 that encourages and supports design houses and product companies to design and develop innovative hardware product designs incorporating Qualcomm SoCs platforms and technologies. This year, the initiative focused on spurring innovation in 5G use cases, health tech, and mobile edge-compute. Along with a financial grant of INR 3.2 lakh, the startup is endowed with access to a state-of-the-art innovation lab in Bangalore, a comprehensive guide, and mentoring from industry leaders, which will help the team to further shape their technology solutions.

An altruistic by nature, Pooja has dedicated her life to human welfare. She is on her mission to help women deal with serious gynecological maladies like irregular menstrual cycle and infertility, one of the worst side effects of long-term exposure to cellular radiation and over usage of digital devices. Since it’s inevitable for working women to avoid being desk-bound and using electronic gadgets, initiatives to help them become more resilient, stress-free, active, and healthy are highly necessary. Through Sparcolife Technologies, Pooja and her team cottoned on the sedentary way of living, and its consequences and unearth solutions that can help people detoxify and reanalyze their participation and involvement in the digital culture. The team innovated an integrated behavioral care-digital health technology called Vyli to diagnose and tend to Behavioral & Mental Health issues and provide consolidated guidelines on Reproductive Health Treatment.

How does Vyli work?

A Sparcolife Health initiative, Vyli is a multimodal diagnostic device consisting of a BI-spectral camera that can capture and read speech & facial emotion recognition and thermal imaging based emotional heat map. This analysis helps detect stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and suicidal tendencies, which are the side effects of menstrual irregularities, PCOS/PCOD, Hormonal Imbalance, Depression, Diabetes, Thyroid, and Reproductive Health issues. These conditions severely impact the quality of life, leading to infertility and other severe consequences.

This women centric initiative formulates therapy programs as per the requirement and evidence and delivers them through mobile applications. These experts curated therapy programs are a combination of Psychotherapeutic & Mind-Body Intervention and Clinical Nutrition & Dieting; the mechanism is segregated into three categories i.e. Self-care, Expert-Care, and Anonymous Virtual Support Group Care.
