Hi, I'm Arish

Biomed

 

About.

i'm an 19-year-old from oakville, ontario, and i like to build things that actually help people.

i'm a biomedical engineering + health sciences student at mcmaster university, aiming for med school while building in health tech.

what i'm up to lately:

  • building suprascan — an AI tool for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases using PET + MRI data, focused on better modelling + 3D visualization for higher accuracy.
  • developing neurite, a broader platform for AI-driven brain health analysis that combines imaging, biomarkers, and clinical context.
  • conducting research across harvard medical school, johns hopkins, hamilton health sciences, uhn, and the rbc borealis lsi program on rehab ML, neuroimaging, biomechanics, and clinical AI.
  • building flexaid, a sensor-based rehab device that uses ML for real-time form correction.
  • shipping khushu, an app with lock-in mode + rewards to help people focus on quran recitation.
  • creating islamic content on TikTok, making faith more accessible for younger audiences.

some cool things i've done in the past:

  • won HackPrinceton by building an automated segmentation + surgical planning tool for orthopaedics.
  • picked up multiple hackathon wins across bioengineering + healthcare innovation.
  • received the Nebius AI Discovery Award and named a JXTX Scholar for imaging + ML work.
  • worked at Harvard Medical School’s Foot & Ankle Lab building CT-to-FEA automation tools as a software engineering intern.
  • collaborated with the Crone Lab at Johns Hopkins on brain-computer interface synchronization systems.
  • published/contributed to research on interstitial lung disease, orthopaedics, and biomechanics.
  • founded Evolv Labs, creating mechanical + computational solutions for hearing loss.
  • built Aqua Boost, a wearable hydration tracker inspired by my experience with rhabdomyolysis.
  • shipped several full-stack and hardware-software hybrid projects (because why not mix microcontrollers + React?).

how i started:

i've always been a builder—grew up loving science, art, and tech, and turned curiosity into a habit of making things.

my family's medical history (stroke + alzheimer’s) pushed me toward neurodegeneration and clinical innovation.

in high school i dove headfirst into research, competitions, robotics coaching, teaching, and shipping projects to see how far i could push myself.

learned early that execution beats perfection, and momentum compounds in everything you do.

where do i see myself in 10 years:

probably still building in medical ai, neurotechnology, or biomedical devices. my north star: create products that drive real patient impact, maybe dabble in venture to back other builders, and keep fostering communities where ambitious people can collide.
