Before stepping into healthcare, Matilde worked across sectors such as digital communication, venture capital and political strategy. Her ability to understand people, solve complex problems, and design human-centered systems were shaped by these diverse experiences.
The turning point in her life came when she moved to India. Living in a country with growing chronic disease rates, high out of pocket spending and vast healthcare inequalities, Matilde realized that healthcare transformation had to start with prevention.
With the idea that ‘Medical care should not be fragmented across countless hospitals, specialists, and insurance companies. Instead, it should be one unified system that follows a person throughout their health journey’ Matilde co-founded ‘EVEN’. A system powered by AI, data and evidence-based protocols.
The Core Problem
Symptoms like Minor chest discomfort, fatigue, elevated cholesterol are often ignored and dismissed as stress.
Lifestyle diseases like High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and inflammation progress silently. All key risk factors are built up over time.
The healthcare system in India is reactive, not proactive. By the time help arrives, the heart may already be damaged.
After looking into the core problems, Matilde realized that these problems were structural and systemic and not just medical. Her strategy for addressing all these problems was to build a medical membership model where every person has continuous, technology-supported access to preventive care.
Even: The first digital healthcare system built for prevention
It is inspired by global models of ‘managed care’ that combines diagnostics, OPD, insurance and specialist care into one ecosystem.
But what’s special about Even is its heavy investment in AI, digital workflows, and data-driven care pathways.
In ‘Even’, AI driven tools help classify risk levels for conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, provide recommendations for tests or doctor consults and triage cases before they worsen.
The system ensures that people who need help first receive it first, while cutting off unnecessary panic or hospital visits.
Health data such as vitals, ECG readings, lab reports, lifestyle patterns and past medical history are collected by Even.
Then the data is fed into predictive models that flag early signs of heart-related risks such as inflammation markers, abnormal ECG patterns, rising LDL cholesterol etc,.
The system detects the patterns months before a cardiac event might occur.
Predicting cardiac risk early, supporting doctors with decision intelligence, reducing hospital readmissions, empowering users with awareness are some of the key contributions of AI to heart health.
With the idea of small changes, early corrections, long-term benefit, ‘Even’ also provides Personalized prevention plans to customers.
Members can avail regular blood tests, screening, specialist advice and unlimited doctor consultants.
The Reason of Standing Out
Health tech founders mostly focus only on apps, telemedicine, or wearable devices whereas Matilde built an entire healthcare ecosystem under one system by full stack approach.
Integration of Ai tools, digital workflows, diagnostic centers, clinical teams, physical hospitals and preventive programs by Even, ensures care is high-tech but deeply human.
Screening for heart disease is often expensive. By offering membership, Even makes high-quality preventive care affordable and predictable for the Indian middle class.
Coaching, structure follow-ups, reminders and nutrition guidance are what Matilde’s model includes.
Prevention of heart disease is ultimately about lifestyle. Tech supports but humans drive the change.
Vision of Matilde Giglio: The future of Heart Health
‘Creating a world where prevention is not optional, it is built into daily life.’ is what Matilde Giglio adheres to.
Her vision includes
Hospitals as a ‘Last Resort’
Her ideal model suggests that hospitals should handle complex emergencies, surgeries and intensive care, everything else should be managed in digital and preventing settings.
Across India Expansion
With the expanding of Even into multi-specialty hospitals and owned clinics, Matilde aims to create a network that makes high quality care accessible for millions.
She dreams of an India where people hold common perceptions for doctors and fitness trainers or nutritionists (people you work with regularly, not only when sick).
She believes that ai shouldn’t be a replacement for doctors, it should be a guide which will help both users and doctors stay ahead of diseases.
Advanced remote monitoring, digital therapeutics for heart patients, AI-driven ECG interpretation and cardiovascular prediction models are some future AI-driven possibilities.
Why her work Matters Globally
Although even is based on India, her works have global implications.
It is widely acknowledged that healthcare systems are expensive.
Her model is a blend of technology, medicine, and accessibility that can be scaled worldwide and is a way forward.
Matilde Giglio is represented as a symbol of a new kind of health leader, who understands human behavior, tech and also the realities of modern healthcare.
Through Even, she is guiding people to create healthier choices and a system where prevention becomes the foundation of care, proving that AI and digital health data can detect heart risks early.
