The vision is to create the world’s most personal, predictive, non-invasive, affordable, and accessible health monitor based on data science-driven Ayurveda.

Personalized health solutions are the number one priority to avoid non-communicable disorders. I believe that both Ayurveda and modern science can coexist and even work better when combined. A concept that is not popular in today’s day and time, we knew we could change the lifestyle ecosystem for the better.

Going towards the natural and holistic science of Ayurveda, using non-invasive and predictive Inner Health diagnostic methods that are cost-effective and beneficial for all mankind is the motto of “Nadi Tarangini”. Predictive health analysis is the key which is driven by Ayurveda Nidan (Diagnostics) science. I wish to combine the best of Indian holistic science, western medical science, and modern artificial intelligence-based technology to provide personalized and predictive health and wellness insights.

Our innovation lies in converting and flourishing the diminishing ancient art of Nadi Pariksha into a very sophisticated gadget form. Yoga has been one of the finest gifts of India to the world and Ayurveda is going to be the next.

Hi, I’m Jessica Oker, and my journey into Ayurveda started from a place of deep personal struggle. After battling chronic illness for most of my life, including autoimmune conditions that left me unable to eat, breathe, or function, Ayurveda came into my life as a lifeline. It wasn’t just about healing my body—it became a deeper connection to the ancient wisdom that I now feel compelled to share with others.

Today, I’m passionate about helping people heal, not just physically but holistically. I’ve been where you are—feeling lost, frustrated, and overwhelmed—and I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience true healing. My clinic and my approach are all about creating a space where you feel supported, heard, and empowered on your wellness journey.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me exploring new holistic healing techniques, or enjoying life with my family. I’m deeply committed to Ayurveda, and it has truly transformed my life—now, I want to help you experience that transformation too.
