Chandigarh, June 17
Bio-Medical Devices Hub of the PGI organised a workshop on “Innovative Medical Devices” today which was inaugurated by the Director, Prof Vivek Lal.
The directors of the IIT-Ropar (Dr Rajiv Ahuja) , CSIO (Dr S Anantha Ramakrishna), NIPER (Dr Dulal Panda) and IMTECH (Dr Sanjeev Khosla) also graced the occasion.
Professor Lal praised the deliverables in terms of prototypes developed and commercialised, and testing/calibration activities being carried out at the hub.
The bio medical hub was set up at the PGI in 2017. It is involved in design and development of innovative medical devices and instrumentation, validation and commercialisation of developed devices, and providing technical and clinical validation support to other researchers/organisations.
About 15 years ago, Prof GD Puri started the development of an anaesthetic robot. Various monitors and syringe pumps are connected to a computer and it is loaded with an intelligent software to make the whole system take decisions independently.
It was this innovation that laid the foundation of the bio medical hub at the PGI.
