IIT Palakkad and Dane Diagnostics Join Hands to develop Clinical Grade Devices

IIT Palakkad and Dane Diagnostics, Palakkad, took a significant step forward by signing a MoU today. This collaboration is geared towards developing Clinical Grade Devices and other collaborative R&D projects, particularly in the fields Biomedical Engineering and its applications.

This research collaboration intends to develop AI-powered medical imaging devices for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and staging. It also seeks to improve screening and diagnosis accuracy by using microwave imaging and ultrasound sensors in a portable multimodal imaging system with efficient AI models, reducing false alarms. Due focus is also given in developing contactless vital sign monitors for home use, aiding in monitoring infants and the elderly, and creating a non-invasive wearable Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device for people with diabetes.

The MoU was signed by Dr. Santhakumar Mohan, Dean, Industry Collaboration and Sponsored Research, IIT Palakkad and Dr. Sushama, Managing Director, Dane Diagnostics in the presence of Dr. Sabarimalai Manikandan, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Dr. Selva Pandian, Industry Liaison Officer, IIT Palakkad.
