MEDICAL DEVICES DEVELOPMENT

NMAMIT started working with the sister concerns in Nitte University such as K S Hegde Medical Academy (KSHEMA), A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences (ABSMIDS) and other Medical Institutions to develop medical devices and to perform research related to medical field. Presently following research and development activities have been sponsored/funded by Nitte University with PI from both the Institutions.

Abstract

Stress is a response to mental/emotional or physical aspects that is encountered in daily life. In order to manage stress, it is required to monitor the stress levels on continuous basis. Individual physiological parameters such as Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Heart Rate (HR), Blood Pressure (BP), ECG (Electrocardiography) and respiration activity can be used as a measure to determine stress. But, the accuracy of determination is limited by using individual parameters. Usage of multiple parameters leads to better determination of stress. A combination of parameters such as GSR and Blood Pressure further increases the accuracy. In this work, it is proposed to develop a model that uses multiple physiological parameters to detect the stress level.

8. Model Develoment fo simulation of ECG and ARRHYTHMIA CONDITIONS for medical class rooms

Team Members

• Dr. Rekha Bhandarkar, Professor and Head, Department of E&CE
• Dr. K. S. Shivaprakasha, Professor, Department of E&CE

Abstract

Understanding of normal ECG and the arrythmia continuous is very important for medical students. This proposed system aims at developing a model that generated ECG for normal beat as well as various arrythmia conditions which can be used in medical classrooms for teachning purpose
