Several Indigenous Medical Devices To Hit Markets Soon

From smartphones detecting blood sugar to automated eye-screening devices that can be used in the countryside, many unique indigenous medical devices are set to hit the market soon.

The blood sugar testing device that needs to be attached to a phone was validated at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Narayana Hrudayalaya for self-monitoring by patients and for screening by health workers.

The manufacturing company, Janacare Solutions, has an order to supply 25,000 units for a large scale trial before the device is commercially launched. It uses a Rs 10 strip and can also test lipids, triglycerides, creatinine and haemoglobin.
