Your body has been trying to tell you something for months.
Your heart shows stress 8 minutes before your mind does. Now there's a garment that listens.

Stress doesn't announce itself.
64% of Indian professionals aged 21–30 report high stress levels. Yet zero consumer tools continuously monitor autonomic stress throughout the day, passively, without asking you to open an app or tap a screen.
Your smartwatch counts steps. Your meditation app assumes you already know you're stressed. Your annual health checkup captures a single moment in 365 days. The gap between “I'm fine” and clinical burnout is invisible - and that gap is where chronic disease begins.
High-functioning professionals perform brilliantly on the outside while their nervous system operates in crisis mode on the inside. Elevated cortisol, suppressed HRV, disrupted circadian rhythms - all happening silently, for months, sometimes years. By the time symptoms surface, the damage has compounded.

Five steps. Zero effort.
Dhritam transforms invisible physiological signals into actionable intelligence - without changing a single thing about your daily routine.
Wear
Put on Kavach X like a regular inner garment. Dry conductive fibers align with your chest automatically. No gels, no patches, no discomfort.
Live
Go about your day - meetings, gym, commute, sleep. The garment reads your heart 500 times per second, silently, continuously.
Sync
Pair Agna if you want neural monitoring. The system detects cortical-cardiac correlation patterns that single-device systems simply cannot.
Learn
The AI engine builds your personal baseline - not comparing you to averages, but to your own history. Anomalies surface within 7 days.
Respond
Binaural audio adapts to your state in real time. BCI games train long-term neural resilience. You get better, measurably, week over week.
Two devices. One truth.
A garment that reads your heart. A headband that reads your brain. Together, they form the only consumer neuro-cardiac monitoring system.
Kavach X
Clinical-grade continuous ECG monitoring woven into fabric you forget you're wearing. 500Hz sampling - the same rate used in hospital Holter monitors - delivered through dry conductive fiber electrodes that require no gels, no patches, and no skin preparation.
- 500Hz ECG sampling rate
- Dry conductive fiber electrodes
- BLE 5.0 - < 0.2% packet loss
- Removable electronics module
- 8+ hour continuous battery
- Machine washable fabric
- Zero visible profile under dress shirt

40 years of autonomic neuroscience. In a garment.
Every claim Dhritam makes is grounded in published, peer-reviewed research spanning four decades of cardiac autonomic neuroscience, psychophysiology, and stress biomarker validation.
Heart rate variability (HRV) - specifically the RMSSD metric - is the gold standard biomarker for autonomic nervous system regulation. The Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology established ECG-derived HRV as a reliable indicator of parasympathetic tone in 1996. Dhritam captures this signal continuously, not as a snapshot.
The Neurovisceral Integration Model (Thayer & Lane, 2000) demonstrates that prefrontal cortex activity directly modulates cardiac vagal tone through the baroreflex arc. This is the scientific basis for Dhritam's dual-device approach: EEG monitors the neural signal, ECG monitors the cardiac response, and the Sync Engine correlates both in real time.
Read the science →ECG vs PPG
Direct cardiac electrical potential at 500Hz vs optical pulse estimation at 25Hz. A 20x resolution advantage in temporal accuracy.
RMSSD Validation
Root Mean Square of Successive Differences - the parasympathetic marker validated across 10,000+ studies as the autonomic gold standard.
Neurovisceral Integration
Neural arousal precedes cardiac response by 8 minutes. Dhritam sees both signals, predicts the cascade, and intervenes before you feel it.
Binaural Entrainment
Alpha-range frequency stimulation (8-12Hz) demonstrated to increase parasympathetic activation within 5 minutes. Published in Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.
This is not vaporware.
Every system described on this website has been built, tested, and validated with real hardware and real physiological data.
Patent Filed
Provisional patent application filed March 2026 with the Indian Patent Office. 12 independent claims covering the garment-integrated ECG pipeline, the neuro-cardiac correlation engine, and the adaptive binaural response system.
Working Hardware
Complete ECG acquisition pipeline operational - from dry conductive fiber electrodes to BLE 5.0 transmission to mobile processing. 500Hz sampling rate with less than 0.2% packet loss over sustained 8-hour sessions.
30+ Days Live Data
Over 30 consecutive days of continuous cardiac data collected from prototype garments. RMSSD values validated against clinical benchmarks. Signal quality verified by independent biomedical review.
RMSSD Response Validated
Controlled breathing sessions demonstrated RMSSD increases exceeding 15% within 5 minutes of intervention. Consistent across multiple subjects and session conditions - repeatable, measurable, real.
IIT Gandhinagar
Built within the technical ecosystem of IIT Gandhinagar - accessing faculty mentorship in biomedical engineering, signal processing labs, and peer review from India's top research institution.
Real Users, Real Data
Active testers contributing real-world cardiac data across varied conditions - office environments, exercise sessions, sleep monitoring, and commute stress. Edge cases actively collected and processed.
Your data lives on your phone. Not our servers.
All physiological data - ECG, EEG, HRV metrics, stress indices - is processed and stored locally on your device by default. We chose local-first architecture not because it's easier (it isn't), but because your health data belongs to you.
Cloud synchronization is strictly opt-in with end-to-end encryption. We will never sell, license, or monetize your physiological data. Zero telemetry without explicit consent. This isn't a feature - it's a design constraint that shapes every architectural decision we make.
