Dr Himank Agrawal
Dr Himank Agrawal is a physician-entrepreneur with a strong foundation in clinical medicine (MBBS), and specialised training in healthcare innovation, having completed a biodesign fellowship at IIT Kanpur and KGMU Lucknow. He transitioned from hospital practice to the startup ecosystem, where he co-founded Solvinn MedTech and serves as its Chief Medical Officer. In this role, he focuses on translating clinical challenges into practical, real-world medical device solutions. His expertise in hospital operations, securing research grants, and leading cross-functional teams is crucial for designing medical technologies that are safe, affordable, and highly functional for both patients and clinicians.
The company's flagship product, VerveFlo, serves as a compact, wearable device for treating lymphedema, specifically designed for women who experience arm swelling following breast cancer treatment. Traditional lymphedema management often involves bulky, clinic-restricted compression pumps or challenging-to-manage bandages and garments, all of which contribute to poor long-term adherence. VerveFlo addresses these issues by providing gentle, programmable compression via a lightweight sleeve. This design makes therapy simpler, more comfortable, and more affordable, allowing patients to maintain their treatment routine while enjoying unrestricted movement in their daily lives.
