Kadambari Beelwar, CEO, Truss Health | She Pitches, She Wins | TiEcon 2025

At TiEcon 2025’s “She Pitches, She Wins,” Kadambari Beelwar, CEO of Truss Health, delivered an emotionally resonant and data-driven pitch, spotlighting one of the most overlooked problems in modern medicine—post-surgical infections. With clarity and urgency, she made the case for why it’s time to move from reactive treatment to predictive intervention.

Predicting the Problem Before It Starts

Kadambari opened with a powerful scenario: a patient wakes up from surgery only to find themselves battling an infection they never saw coming. It’s a chilling reality for millions—and one that costs the healthcare system $100 billion annually in wound care, much of which is avoidable with timely detection.

Truss Health’s solution? A sensor fusion monitoring platform that combines imaging, physiological markers, and biochemical testing to identify signs of infection before they become symptomatic or even visible. The platform discreetly collects data at home after discharge, helping doctors and patients catch complications early—and act fast.

As Kadambari put it, “Our current healthcare model is reactive. That delay in detection leads to delay in treatment, and that costs lives, limbs, and futures.” Truss Health envisions a world where surgeries aren’t followed by tragedies, but by informed, intelligent aftercare.

From Pilot Projects to Scalable Impact

During the Q&A, Kadambari shared that Truss Health is already in action—with paid pilots underway in two U.S. hospitals and implementation ongoing in India. Patients are sent home with a portable device that guides them through imaging and sends data in real time. Thanks to continuous feedback from users, the AI is becoming more intuitive and supportive in guiding patients through their recovery.

The business model is insurance-friendly, supported by existing CPT codes for remote patient monitoring, and the devices are returnable—making it cost-effective for hospitals and patients alike.
