UTSAAH Laboratory

Universal Technology Solutions for Accessible and Affordable Healthcare Laboratory

About Us

The primary goal of the UTSAAH Laboratory @ DM, IISc is to develop affordable and accessible medical technology solutions for promoting universal healthcare. Starting from unmet clinical needs, a user-centric design approach is used to create novel device solutions. Our IP policy is guided by our desire to deliver solutions for the greater public good rather than a monopoly of a few. Where suitable, these solutions will be made available under open-access license terms with the freedom to utilize the innovations commercially. Devices currently under development include – IV drip monitor, hearing aid integrated with speech therapy application, insulin pump for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (Artificial Pancreas), fetal phono-cardiography device, ambulatory BP measurement system and tele-ultrasound system for antenatal care. The lab aims to develop at least 25 healthcare solutions in the next five years and contribute to the evolution of an open-source,  open-licensed ecosystem for achieving affordable excellence in healthcare for all.
