The Clinical Intelligence Layer.
Zinda exists because 1 in 4 humans — South Asians — were excluded from the evidence base that built modern medicine. We're building the clinical intelligence to fix that.
The Method
Standard medicine relies on randomized controlled trials conducted primarily on populations of European descent. When South Asian biology doesn't map to these findings, the discrepancies are often dismissed as lifestyle failures or isolated anomalies.
Our method is different. We use AI to aggregate case reports, small clinical studies, and specific pathophysiological findings scattered across PubMed. We synthesize these through a clinical lens specific to South Asian biology. The N=1 repository isn't anecdote — it's the systematic aggregation of cases that standard medicine treats as isolated incidents.
The Founder
Omar Saleem
Founder & Clinical Director
A South Asian researcher who built Zinda because he saw the gap firsthand. The algorithms were wrong. The risk calculators were wrong. The BMI cutoffs were wrong. Zinda is the platform he wished existed when navigating these questions for his own community.
