Pramila N. Srinivasan was born on June 9, 1968, in New York City. Her parents were Srinivasan Nenmeli and Rajalakshmi Nenmeli.
Her professional life has connected electrical engineering, signal processing, software development, and healthcare technology. Later work in autism research and advocacy complemented her entrepreneurial activity in electronic health records and clinical information systems.
Srinivasan studied electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers University, receiving a master's degree in 1993, and continued at Purdue University, where she received a Doctor of Philosophy in electrical and computer engineering in 1997. Rutgers is a major public research university in New Jersey, while Purdue is a research university in Indiana noted for engineering and applied science.
Her doctoral-era work concerned speech, audio, and signal-processing methods, including wavelets and neural-network approaches. This technical foundation later informed her work in software and medical-data analysis.
Srinivasan worked as a member of the technical staff at Silicon Graphics, Inc., in Mountain View, California, from 1997 to 1998, and subsequently worked at Stream Machine in San Jose. Her early research and development work included multimedia signal-processing algorithms, speech recognition, security algorithms, and neural-network classification of medical data.
In 2007 she founded MedicalMine Inc. and became its chief executive officer. The company developed CharmHealth, an electronic health-record and practice-management platform intended to support clinical documentation, practice operations, patient engagement, and analysis of medical information. CharmHealth's technology work placed her engineering background within the expanding field of cloud-based health information systems.
Srinivasan is also president and a board member of the BRAIN Foundation, a California nonprofit supporting research and improved care for people with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The foundation has organized scientific and clinical programs, supported translational research, and collaborated with medical researchers, including through the Aurora Research Network with Stanford Medicine.
Srinivasan contributed to research on adaptive wavelets, audio compression, speech and sound classification, and neural-network methods for ECG signal compression.
She founded MedicalMine Inc., the company behind CharmHealth, and developed healthcare-technology tools for electronic health records, practice management, clinical documentation, and patient engagement.
As founder and president of the BRAIN Foundation, she has supported research, scientific programs, and clinical initiatives concerning autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders.

1998Srinivasan's public work reflects an emphasis on applying engineering and data analysis to practical problems in healthcare. Through MedicalMine and the BRAIN Foundation, she has supported the use of digital tools, clinical information, and translational research to improve care and develop better treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders.
Srinivasan is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a professional organization that supports research, standards, education, and exchange of knowledge across electrical engineering, computing, and related technologies.
Srinivasan married Sridhar Vembu on August 26, 1993. They have a son, Siddharth Srinivasan. Her parents are Srinivasan Nenmeli and Rajalakshmi Nenmeli.
