The Ayurtech project, hosted at IIT Jodhpur and funded by the Ministry of AYUSH, is a cutting-edge research initiative aimed at combining traditional Ayurvedic principles with modern technology. The project’s goal is to develop an advanced method for identifying an individual’s Prakriti (natural constitution) and Vikriti (current state of imbalance) using innovative tools and techniques.

What is Prakriti and Vikriti? In Ayurveda, Prakriti refers to a person's inherent body constitution, which remains constant throughout life. It's like your natural body type or personality, determined by the balance of three vital energies or doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vikriti, on the other hand, is your current state of health, which can change over time due to lifestyle, diet, environment, and other factors.
