PUNE: Jehangir Wellness Centre (JWC), Pune, has become the first healthcare institution in the world to formally integrate AI-based emotional assessments into preventive care through its partnership with Emoscape, a medical-grade Emotion AI platform created by Nihilent. This collaboration reflects a significant step forward in the convergence of emotional and physical well-being, placing India at the forefront of human-centric innovation in healthcare.

With the inclusion of Emoscape, every individual visiting Jehangir Wellness Centre now has access to a non-invasive emotional scan that evaluates nine core emotions (The Navarasas): Raudra, Bhayanaka, Hasya, Shringara, Adbhuta, Bibhatsa, Shanta, Veera, and Karuna. In 60 seconds, the platform maps emotional intensities and trends using safe, contactless technology. These results are then interpreted in the context of physical health markers, offering new insight into how emotional patterns may be influencing physiological symptoms or impacting the recovery process.

By offering this scan as a part of routine wellness checks, Jehangir Wellness Centre is advancing a new approach to early detection and preventive care where emotional well-being is not an adjunct but a core diagnostic component.

During her special address, Lt. Gen. Dr. Madhuri Kanitkar (Retd), Former Vice-Chancellor, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Ex Dean AFMC, said, “Medicine is not only about curing disease; it is about understanding the human being in totality.  Emoscape helps understand emotions through the lens of science and technology, bringing evidence to what we intuitively know: that emotional health is inseparable from physical health. This inauguration at Jehangir Wellness Centre is an important step in that direction.

“At Jehangir Wellness Centre, we have always believed that true wellness lies in understanding the connection between the mind and body. Today, our centre marks yet another milestone at the forefront of progressive healthcare by integrating AI-driven emotional assessment into our holistic care,” said Cowas Jehangir, Trustee – Jehangir Hospital.

“At Nihilent, our mission has always been to humanise technology, to make innovation serve life itself. One of the most meaningful ways to do that is by helping healthcare see what has always been invisible: our emotions. Emoscape was born from that belief, that the mind and body are one system, and that understanding emotions is essential to healing. Seeing it now become part of healthcare, helping doctors and patients connect emotional patterns with physical well-being, is deeply rewarding,” said L.C. Singh, Founder- Executive Vice Chairman, Nihilent.

“Emoscape represents the next frontier in integrative healthcare. It bridges emotional awareness with medical insight, giving us a more complete understanding of each individual’s health journey. At Jehangir Wellness Centre, our commitment has always been to the overall well-being of an individual. This collaboration with Nihilent is a step toward more complete, compassionate healthcare,” said Vinod Sawantwadkar, CEO, Jehangir Hospital.

Jehangir Wellness Centre stands out as the only centre that truly embodies holistic wellness, with a focus on the body, mind, and soul. Through its comprehensive health packages, allied therapies, and integration of innovative initiatives such as Emoscape, it exemplifies a complete and integrated approach to wellbeing.

At Jehangir Wellness Centre, emoscape’s emotional assessment data is used alongside medical reports and assessments to create a holistic view of the patient and advise the interventions accordingly. Emoscape’s integration at JWC is already drawing interest across age groups. From working professionals managing burnout to adolescents facing identity shifts and from senior citizens navigating loneliness to wellness seekers aiming to improve resilience, clients are experiencing the value of emotional clarity in clinical contexts. The platform has become a powerful complement to JWC’s vision of comprehensive, integrative wellness. Each scan is confidential and processed ethically, following the highest standards of data privacy.

This launch also marks Emoscape’s first institutional partnership within the healthcare sector. Rigorously tested across healthcare, learning, sports, and corporate settings, Emoscape’s integration at Jehangir Wellness Centre marks a step toward broader adoption in hospitals, clinics, and medical institutions. By offering Emoscape to patients as a formal part of its wellness protocols, Jehangir Wellness Centre is championing a more evolved, empathetic model of care. It signals a future where emotions are not peripheral but central to the healing process and where technology plays an enabling role in restoring the balance between mind and body.

This collaboration between Nihilent and Jehangir Wellness Centre places Pune on the global innovation map, demonstrating that the next frontier of medicine lies not only in cutting-edge technology but also in the courage to reimagine care through the lens of humanity.

Emoscape is the first AI platform globally capable of detecting and interpreting emotions based on the nine classical emotion frameworks articulated in the Natyashastra (science behind drama), an ancient treatise on human behavior and performance. Using 3D motion capture and advanced AI algorithms, the platform maps subtle body movements to determine emotional states with remarkable precision. It is non-invasive, requiring no wires, sensors, or manual input—only a camera—making it both accessible and adaptable for use in healthcare, education, sports, marketing, corporate well-being, and more.

Speaking on the announcement, L. C. Singh, Founder of Nihilent, said: “At Nihilent, we have always believed that technology should serve a higher human purpose. With Emoscape, we are introducing a new dimension to artificial intelligence—one that recognizes and respects the emotional core of human interaction. This platform represents a convergence of classical Indian emotional theory and contemporary AI innovation. The Natyashastra, which has shaped our understanding of emotions for centuries, now finds renewed relevance in technology-led applications that can reshape how industries engage with human emotions. Whether in healthcare, education, sports, or workplace wellness; Emoscape brings clarity, empathy, and emotional awareness to the forefront of digital interaction.”

Emoscape has been purpose-built for professionals – clinicians, educators, performance coaches, marketers, and leadership consultants who depend on emotional context to make better, more informed decisions. Key Features of Emoscape:

• AI-powered recognition of nine core human emotions
• Non-invasive, contactless technology
•  Analysis of emotional states and traits

Endorsing its relevance, Dr. Mohan Agashe, noted psychiatrist, actor, and academician, said: “As a psychiatrist, I have observed emotions, and as an actor, I have lived them. In my experience, Emoscape can be a valuable asset to modern science upon proper application.”

Emoscape brings to life a unique convergence of ancient wisdom and emotional AI. It reflects Nihilent’s broader vision of creating meaningful, human-centric technologies that not only solve problems but elevate human connections.
