Adarsh Balaji MD
Founder, Inventor, and CEO
Adarsh is a cardiology fellow, physician-inventor, and the Founder and CEO of Perpetua. He conceived the company’s leadless pacemaker concept and established its broader vision: to turn problems encountered in cardiovascular care into technologies worth building. He leads Perpetua’s scientific direction, product strategy, and growing portfolio.
His work brings together electrophysiology, cardiac devices, and artificial intelligence, with research spanning machine learning, arrhythmia care, and heart failure outcomes. More sustainable cardiac pacing was the starting point. His vision for Perpetua extends across how physicians learn, how patients carry their cardiac history, and how the next generation of cardiovascular technology is developed.
Before cardiology fellowship, Adarsh served as Chief Resident and Chief of Research & Quality Improvement, helping lead resident education and administration while advancing cardiovascular research and heart failure care initiatives. His background in computational neuroscience gives him a distinctive perspective on clinical problems, connecting the mechanisms of disease with the possibilities of computation and device design.
At Perpetua, Adarsh sets the agenda for what comes next: identifying unmet needs, developing the concepts behind new projects, and shaping the path from an early idea to a clinically meaningful solution. His approach combines the curiosity of an inventor with the judgment of a physician and the drive to build a company whose reach grows with the problems it can solve.
