ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
Validation of Wearable Sensors for Patient Care: Turning Data into Actionable Information
Guidance: Dr Leland Hartwell, Nobel Awardee in Physiology. February 2014-Present, Team Size: 4
• This project is basically developed to improve healthcare outcomes at reduced costs.
• I have been given an important role of identifying unknown physiological data that predict disease progression in patients and
thus helps in administering appropriate medical interventions.
• I have also been actively involved in development of the wearable sensors to measure behavioral parameters such as heart rate,
blood pressure, temperature and to report these continuous quantitative data in real time.
Sophisticated Pulse Sensor for Non-Invasive Health Monitoring System-A Life Saving Device,
Patent Pending. April 2012-February 2013, Team size: 2.
• Designed a user-friendly, integrated healthcare device consisting of heart-rate sensor, Bluetooth module and the Atmega 328
micro-controller, which can be paired up wirelessly via Bluetooth to an android smart phone for quick and reliable
communication.
• This watch-shaped tangible device is used as a preventive and precautionary measure for heart patients and is programmed
according to individual work scenarios and specific health conditions.
• Strictly adhered to standards of Human Factor Engineering (HFE) during design and implementation of this device.
• Developed an intelligent Android Program to enable an automatic link between patient’s smart phone and the hospital terminal.
• First of its kind in India, with the unique feature of efficient monitoring and initialization of an automatic response, to contact
the medical fraternity during emergency.
High Voltage Proximity Detector
Patent Pending, December 2012-April 2013, Team size: 4
• Designed a low cost, high precision safety device for electric lineman workers, which is the first of its kind in India.
• It is uniquely designed to fit into safety helmets and is intelligently developed to accurately detect the presence of high voltage
lines from distance range as high as 10 meter.
• This miniaturized device consists of transistor, zener diodes and six inverter circuits which is manufactured using
complementary MOS (CMOS) to achieve wide power supply operating range, low power consumption, high noise immunity,
and symmetric controlled rise and fall times.
• The GSM module sets up effective communication with the main control unit and lineman workers which would help in
maintenance and installation works of substation and power plants.
