CENT has announced the launch of its first clinical prevention centre in Bengaluru, marking its formal entry into the physical healthcare delivery space. Alongside the launch, the company unveiled a strategic partnership with Siemens Healthineers to power diagnostic and imaging infrastructure across its expanding network.

Spread across 7,000 square feet, the Bengaluru facility is positioned as a purpose-built clinical prevention centre focused on identifying silent, life-threatening diseases in asymptomatic individuals. Unlike conventional diagnostic setups, the centre operates on a single, standardised screening framework—the CCNM Protocol (Cardiac, Cancer, Neurological, Metabolic)—aimed at delivering high clinical rigour and consistency.

Each patient visit integrates whole-body MRI, ultra low-dose cardiac CT, DEXA, ECG, and over 120 blood and biomarker tests. These inputs are synthesised using CENT’s proprietary AI platform into the Tru10 organ-level risk report, followed by a one-on-one physician consultation. The entire process is designed to be completed within 120 minutes.

The company claims an Early Detection Index of 83% for the protocol, positioning it among the more comprehensive screening approaches currently available. The imaging infrastructure at the centre is powered by advanced systems from Siemens Healthineers, with both companies collaborating on custom MRI protocols, workflow optimisation software, and research initiatives aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy while reducing scan times and costs.

Anshul Khandelwal, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at CENT, said the facility has been designed specifically for preventive care rather than adapted from traditional hospital infrastructure. He added that the Bengaluru centre will serve as a template for future expansion.

CENT plans to scale its presence across multiple cities, with Mumbai and Delhi NCR next in line. The company’s partner-led network has already conducted over 2,000 scans across seven cities since Q1 FY26, with 26% yielding clinically meaningful findings and 3% detecting critical conditions requiring immediate intervention among largely asymptomatic individuals.

Hariharan Subramanian, Managing Director of Siemens Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., emphasised the role of early and precise diagnosis in improving patient outcomes, noting that such collaborations are key to building scalable and accessible preventive healthcare models.

Founded by Shashank ND, CENT aims to address the gap between available diagnostic technologies and their large-scale, standardised deployment. The company plans to expand to 15 cities across India and has outlined a long-term vision of enabling 10 million scans and contributing to one million lives saved through early detection by 2035.
