IIT Guwahati has introduced a health monitoring device that is developed by its two research scholars, Mitali Basak and Shirsendra Mitra. This device will help to track the health conditions of the population in remote areas.
Mitali Basak, PhD scholar at the centre of Nanotechnology, IIT Guwahati and Shirsendra Mitra, former PhD scholar of Dept of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati, together developed the health monitoring device.

The developed health monitoring device can be proved as a powerful instrument in the field of medical and healthcare management that can conduct health check-ups distantly. It is capable of conducting primary health inspection even in distant areas and backing up data for massive volumes of health data.
This healthcare technology framework is an entry to Global Charm Health Innovation Challenge and the duo participated in the competition under the category: “Student Innovators”.
According to the IIT Guwahati team, the initial screening criteria includes body temperature, eye checkup, heart rate, and tongue analysis of a patient remotely.
Once the design is submitted based on the proposed concept, the champions of the Global Charm Health Innovation Challenge will be decided. Therefore, the proposed prototype of the device will be available in the next 4 months by scholar duo Mitra and Basak.
