Launched in 2024 by Navneeth Ramprasad, Praan Health is a lifestyle-first chronic care platform designed to help parents live longer, stronger, and pain-free lives. The startup combines physician-led care, clinical nutrition, and strength training to reverse and manage chronic conditions through habit transformation — not hospital dependence. According to the Bengaluru-based startup, it has recently launched its mobile app, a one-stop platform that allows young adults to manage their parents’ health journeys, from blood test uploads and risk scores to weekly progress updates and doctor consultations. Using an integrated approach that combines physician supervision, clinical nutrition and one-on-one strength training, Praan delivers personalized 90/180/365-day programmes for more than 25 chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, osteoporosis and post-surgery recovery. In less than a year, Praan claims to have supported over 1,500 families across India through over 50,000 personalized sessions, led by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, clinical nutritionists, physiotherapists, and strength coaches. The company aspires to redefine chronic care in India — from frailty and dependence to strength, vitality, and independence.
