The Founder and CEO of Vizzhy Inc Dr. Vishnuvardhan noted that startling findings from the 2019 NHANES survey, which revealed that 88% of adults are metabolically unfit and that the average adult has gained 15kg since the 1970s, have prompted the company to redefine the healthcare landscape. This surge in metabolic diseases has propelled annual healthcare spending in the US to over USD 4 trillion, surpassing India's GDP.
Vizzhy's approach focuses on a systems biology paradigm, emphasizing the five Ps: Preventative, Predictive, Precise, Participatory, and Personalized healthcare. The synergy of Multi-omics and Generative AI is at the heart of their strategy, addressing the fundamental causes of metabolic diseases. Multi-omics involves a comprehensive analysis of biological data, integrating genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics to unravel intricate disease mechanisms and advance personalized medicine.
Simultaneously, Vizzhy's application of Generative AI generates innovative medical data, expanding the possibilities for research and treatment. These technologies thrive on global collaboration, aggregating original research, expertise, datasets, and computational capabilities.
In pursuit of this global effort, Vizzhy is proud to announce a USD 12.5 million funding for the Sreenivasulu AI for Wellness Center at the esteemed University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a top-ranking Grainger Engineering School.

The center will be led by the renowned Prof. Narendra Ahuja, a top global scientist in Computer Vision, known for establishing India's first IIIT in Hyderabad.
Vizzhy has already initiated numerous collaborative projects with eminent Indian institutions, such as IIT Bombay, and is expanding its university partnerships. This milestone achievement will not only serve Indian healthcare but also provide valuable datasets crucial for enhancing global health understanding and increasing life expectancy, he added.
