CENT, the early detection healthcare company founded by Shashank ND along with a team of clinical and operating leaders, has announced the opening of its first clinical prevention centre in Bengaluru.
Alongside the launch, the company announced a deepened strategic partnership with Siemens Healthineers to power the diagnostic and imaging infrastructure across its growing centre network.
Spanning 7,000 square feet, the Bengaluru centre is India's most advanced clinical prevention facility, purpose-built from the ground up for a single objective: finding silent, life-threatening disease in people who feel healthy.
Unlike conventional diagnostic labs or hospital checkup wings that run dozens of unrelated tests on shared equipment, CENT's centre runs one standardised protocol, the CCNM Protocol (Cardiac, Cancer, Neurological, Metabolic), with the throughput, clinical rigour, and quality control of a single-purpose facility.
The centre is also among the most advanced in India from an imaging standpoint. State-of-the-art Siemens Healthineers MRI, CT, and DEXA systems have been configured specifically for preventive use, with CENT and Siemens Healthineers jointly developing custom MRI protocols, deploying efficiency-enhancing software on Siemens Healthineers platforms, and pursuing joint research toward a new standard for preventive imaging.
The Bengaluru centre is the first physical node of a planned multi-city rollout, with Mumbai and Delhi-NCR to follow.
