@rajneil @VFSGlobal @vfsglobalcare exactly! i thought this would improve with Spain moving to BLS.

@DrJoyeeta recently as an icebreaker, everyone was asked to share their best & worst emojis. and apparently everyone hates smileys now for the same reason 🙂

trying something new for the first time, having a difficult conversation you've been avoiding, setting a healthy boundary with a loved one, staying calm when you would have usually lost your cool.

the small wins are the big wins. celebrate them.

@bodycountometer @meshtimes_ @asvora @katelyn_lesse @_catwu @claudeai lol anonymous twitter accounts may be the least underrepresented thing on the internet

@AFitTrader by going before the full day of work 😅

by the evening your brain has had a lot more time to think of a gazillion reasons why you shouldn't go. if you're still building the discipline, working out in the morning is a cheat code.

@gabrielchua are these editable in Google Slides? that's been my main challenge so far. slides are generated as images and there's no way to make even the tiniest edits without having to negotiate with the LLM (and pray that it does it)

@dykwim_7 haha i feel like there were a few years in the middle where every new song featured Pitbull.

[Charvi Singh @charvi_21]

immediate thought the first time i sat in a Waymo: i would NEVER drive again.

they're now doing >500,000 fully autonomous & paid rides a week 🚀

@TejasTekk Congratulations and more power to you Tejas! 🚀

@adii_kris Somebody make it for Pune. Delhi & Gurgaon, please? Tired of manually searching for these places

[Charvi Singh @charvi_21]

@dykwim_7 hahaha oh nooo! please live, but maybe we don't need to be roomies?

[Charvi Singh @charvi_21]

"out of sight, out of mind" absolutely does not apply to insects. once you are in my room, kindly remain visible at all times. thank you very much.

For the last three years, a startup in Bangalore has been obsessed with a pursuit that typically invites raised eyebrows, naked skepticism, and accusations of stealing from sci-fi:

@dognosis is training dogs to detect cancer.

And until you've spent time at their facility - a former pomegranate farm in the outskirts of Bangalore - perhaps skepticism is the rational response.

But Dognosis isn't betting on some pie-in-the-sky idea or some charming novelty act, they're betting on evolution.

@akadogluk and @Itamar_Bitan based their company on the fact that the dog's nose - a product of fifteen millennia of co-evolution with humans - can detect the faint chemical trace of cancer in your breath at a resolution that our machines, algorithms, and laboratory tests have never come close to matching.

We've known this fact for decades. We've consistently failed to do anything meaningful with that knowledge.

The missing link has been figuring out what the dog's nose knows, and applying it in a standardised, scalable, and clinically validated way.

Dognosis is building this missing piece of the equation i.e. the translation layer that allows the dog's nose to speak a language medicine can understand, enabling us to harness an ancient biological intelligence and plug it into our modern medical infrastructure.

Maybe you've read the paragraphs above and retained your skepticism. That's fair. But this past Friday, the Journal of Clinical Oncology - the world's most influential cancer journal - opted to make life much harder for the skeptics.

On Friday, the JCO published Dognosis' landmark study on breath-based multi-cancer detection - the largest of its kind ever conducted - showing that a team of trained dogs, equipped with sensors and AI, could detect multiple cancers from breath alone at 90%+ accuracy - including at Stage I, when it matters most - for $2 a test.

According to Akash, it proved "that everything we’ve known about the dogs is true".

Needless to say, it's a genuine milestone for Indian healthcare, health-tech, deep-tech, and, uh, dog-tech, that deserves far more attention than it's gotten so far.

To help change that, we were lucky to have Akash stop by the Tigerfeathers editorial desk this past week to unpack the Dognosis journey - helping us understand what they're building, how they're doing it, why it matters, and what comes next.

From where we're sitting, Dognosis is an n-of-1 Indian startup with an n-of-1 story that everyone in the Indian tech ecosystem should be aware of. If you've been intrigued by what you've read so far and you're keen to go deeper, dive into our piece here👇
