Akash Manoj is an Indian cardiology researcher and inventor known for his award-winning research on "silent" heart attacks. Having lost his grandfather due to a silent heart attack when he was thirteen, Manoj channeled his energy into years of research, working in government and private labs, and developed a novel technique that can non-invasively detect and alert at-risk patients of a potential asymptomatic heart-attack. His method involves transcutaneously isolating, identifying, spectroscopically analyzing, and sensing elevation in the levels of a cardiac biomarker called heart-type fatty acid binding proteinh (FABP) in realtime -- a process that significantly establishes a path to preventative cardiovascular healthcare.

Manoj was awarded at the Intel ISEF 2018 and was conferred with India's highest civilian honor for children, the National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement | Gold Medallion (now known as Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar). He is now a medical student at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic.
