IIT Develops Biosensor for Detecting Heart Disease
8 May 2008Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai is one of the premieres educational and research Institute in India and recently The Centre for Excellence of Nanoelectronics of it has developed low cost biosensor. This low cost biosensor is named as ‘iSens’ and it detects heart attack well in advance.
Dr. V. Ramgopal Rao, head of multidisciplinary project and Chief, Nanoelectronics Department of IIT Mumbai has a plan to offer this product for clinical trial in India and Abroad. As it is a diagnostic device only, the clinical trial will not take more time.
The department has already discussing with a company in UK for commercialization of the technology. As it is aimed to keep the cost of the device low so that it can reach to the primary health centers across the India, as more than 90 percent of the heart patients do not reach big hospitals. The new diagnostic device will be a boon to the many poor heart patients in India.
