Jehangir Wellness Centre (JWC) in Pune has rolled out a groundbreaking AI-based emotional assessment tool in collaboration with Nihilent, becoming the first healthcare institution in the world to offer Emoscape-driven emotional scans as part of its preventive wellness services. The move highlights a growing shift toward integrative care, where emotional wellness is considered as important as physical health.

Using a contactless camera, the Emoscape platform evaluates nine classical emotions (Raudra, Bhayanaka, Hasya, Shringara, Adbhuta, Bibhatsa, Shanta, Veera, Karuna)  rooted in the ancient Navarasa framework  in just 60 seconds.  The AI maps intensity levels and trends of these emotions, then correlates them with physiological health data from routine wellness checks, helping clinicians understand how emotional patterns may influence a person’s physical well-being. 

Lt. Gen. (Retd) Dr. Madhuri Kanitkar, addressing the launch, emphasized that true medicine considers the “human being in totality”  mind and body together.  Similarly, Cowas Jehangir, Trustee of Jehangir Hospital, noted that this emotional scan marks a new milestone in their holistic wellness journey, bringing AI-based empathy into clinical practice.  Meanwhile, L.C. Singh, Founder of Nihilent, described Emoscape as a mission-driven innovation built to “humanise technology” by making emotional states visible and actionable for care providers. 

At JWC, emotional assessment using Emoscape is now part of standard wellness packages  not just as a one-off test. The data collected helps design personalized interventions, whether through counseling, lifestyle changes, or integrative therapies. The initiative is already drawing interest from a wide demographic  professionals experiencing burnout, seniors dealing with loneliness, adolescents navigating life transitions, and wellness seekers sharpening emotional resilience. Each emotional scan is performed with a strong privacy framework, ensuring data security and patient confidentiality.
