Design and Development of FES System with Deep Learning based Foot Lift Event Detection System. [PMRF May Cycle 9]
Aug 2021 – June 2025
Foot drop is the inability to lift the front part of the foot from the ground. It causes the toes to drag along the ground while walking and can cause fall and injuries. A patient may have FD when there is a loss of communication between the central nervous system and the peroneal nerve. It can be corrected by functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the peroneal nerve by applying pulses of a given duration, amplitude, and frequency. Read more...

Development of Anti-Presssure Ulcer Neonatal Bed for Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). [BIRAC/FITT01022/BIG-19/21]
June 2022 – Feb 2025
In neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), preterm infants lie down immobile for long hours in a particular position, which makes them susceptible to develop pressure ulcers (PUs). These are developed due to continuous constant contact pressure generated by the self-weight of the infants with bed surfaces on their sensitive skin. Hence, it is necessary to change the posture in a periodic manner. Hospitals manage the position changes by nursing staff, which is of limited effect and puts additional loads on them. Therefore, we are developing an anti-pressure ulcer bed to prevent pressure ulcers. Read more.......

Development of Wearable Device for Neurological Disorders.
Sep 2021 - Nov 2022
Epilepsy is a chronic non-communicable neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures. People with epilepsy should be kept under constant surveillance because seizures can happen anywhere and anytime. Surveillance is required so that seizure events can be detected and the caregiver can be alerted. The seizure event should be recorded so that the doctors get insights into the patient's condition and the effect of prescribed anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) based on the recorded data. Therefore, we have designed a low-cost microcontroller-based multi-parameters wearable band that senses some well-known biomarkers of seizure and sends data to the mobile application for further processing.

EMG Data Analysis of Jaipur Belt- An Unpowered Stoop Assisting Device.
Jun 2020 – May 2022
A clinical study of orthotic devices designed and patented by Newndra Innovations Pvt Ltd, which is known as JaipurBelt- an unpowered stoop assisting device. In this work, we characterize the reduction in EMG activity on the six muscles while performing the activity with this device. EMG data were acquired with the iWorx ix-ta-220 Biopotential acquisition device. The EMG was measured from six muscles which are the ninth thoracic vertebra (EST9) and fourth lumbar vertebra (ESL4) of Erector Spine Muscles, Multifidus (MF), Gluteus maximus (GM) from hip muscles, Quadratus Lumborum (QL), and Rectus Femoris (RF). These muscles are major contributors to bending movements and are responsible for back pain and back problems Read more....

Deep Learning-based System for Detecting Anemia from Eye Conjunctiva Images.
2022 - 2023
Anemia is a severe health condition commonly prevalent among women of reproductive age andchildren below five years. Screening patients before the condition becomes critical and can savemany lives. World Health Organization (WHO) has set the “Global nutrition target 2025-anemia,” aim-ing to reduce 50% of anemia cases among women of reproductive age. This target can be achievedthrough a time-efficient, cost-effective, and easy-to-use tool. Traditional testing methods requirespecific chemicals, machines, and equipment that are not available everywhere. It also requires thepresence of nurses, laboratory workers, and doctors. These methods are costly, time-consuming, andproduce biohazard waste, thus polluting the environment. We developed an Artificial Intelligence(AI)-based bot that can be used for screening people for anemia. Read more...

Portable, wireless and easy-to-use device for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
Sep 2022 - May 2023
Wound healing is a natural biological process in the human body, achieved through four interdependent, precisely and highly programmed phases. Every wound is unique and is affected by various factors hence optimization of wound healing mechanism based on the complexity of the wound is of utmost importance. So, we have designed a negative-pressure wound therapy device. Read more...
A Mini Project on ‘Detecting COVID-19 in X-ray images using Deep Learning’.
Jan 2020 – May 2020
In this project, a new model for automatic COVID-19 detection using raw chest X-ray images was presented. The proposed model was developed to produce accurate diagnostics for multi-class classification.
Design and Construction of a Low-Cost Modified Solar Thermal Dryer with Temperature Monitoring, Temperature Controlling and Weight Monitoring System.
Aug 2017 - Jul 2018
Drying is one of the most important and traditional methods of food preservation, particularly in rural and resource-limited settings. In this project, we designed and developed a solar-based thermal dryer equipped with real-time temperature monitoring and control to maintain optimal drying conditions. Additionally, the system incorporated a weight monitoring mechanism to assess the moisture loss and drying progress. The goal was to create a low-cost, energy-efficient, and automated drying system suitable for small-scale farmers and food processors, helping reduce post-harvest losses and improve food shelf life.
