About us
For the people, by the people.
At Swastome, we believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge AI solutions and integrative wellness programs that reach every community. We’re here to transform lives, uplift people, and create a healthier future—starting today.
Meaning of Swastome
The name “Swastome” blends two powerful roots: Swast (from Sanskrit “स्वस्थ”), symbolizing holistic well-being—physical, mental, and spiritual—and -ome, a Greek suffix denoting completeness, as in genome or proteome.
Together, Swastome stands for an integrated health system combining ancient wisdom with modern science.
The om in Swastome is stylized to represent the ancient symbol of well-being, the ॐ (Aum), which signifies auspiciousness and harmony in many cultures. The m is stylized as a heart, which is a symbolism of health. It’s a reminder that true health encompasses body, mind, and spirit, and that we are all connected in this journey towards wellness.
