Inventors: Hardik J. Pandya, Alekya B, Aswin S, Akhil M, S Siddesh Shenoy, Sanjay Rao Patent Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for measuring the inner diameter (ID) of tubular organs such as the trachea using an unfurling actuator having radial arms. Narrowing the central airway reduces the effective lumen area in […]

Inventors: Hardik J Pandya, Aswin S, Hari R S, Akhil M, and Arjun B S. Patent Abstract: The invention involves the design of a device that couples the camera to any microscope eyepiece, thereby transforming the microscope into a digital microscope. The device placed on the microscope eyepiece will align such that the optical axis […]

Alekya Bejgam is the fifth Ph.D. student graduating from our research group (BEES LAB, Department of Electronic Systems Engineering – DESE, Formerly CEDT) at IISc in the last six years. Identifying precise diagnosis and therapy to treat central airway obstruction remains a clinical challenge due to variability in anomalies and clinical symptoms. Visual assessment using […]
