Growing impact of AI and robotics
New Delhi: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics is increasing rapidly in the medical field. The Medical AI Systems Lab led by Dr. Deepak Mishra at IIT Jodhpur is working on a technology that will be helpful in ultrasound of the heart, detection of rib fractures and training of medical students. Its main objective is to simplify the work of health workers and doctors.
Robotic assistance in heart ultrasound
Robot will help in ultrasound examination of heart
Echocardiography requires experience and technical skill to obtain accurate images. It is very important to properly position the ultrasound probe during the examination. Researchers are using AI to assist in this process, so that this task can be simplified. In this technology, the robot will control the ultrasound probe, while AI will determine its direction and position. Its objective is to streamline the testing process and provide better support to health workers.
Fracture detection by AI
AI will identify fractures in medical scans
The lab is also active in the field of medical imaging, and is developing AI-based solutions that will help identify rib fractures by analyzing medical scans. This can help physicians understand the reports and make treatment decisions. This technology is not being created to replace doctors, but to assist them in their work.
Improvement in training of medical students
Training of medical students will also be better
An important part of the research is related to medical education. The lab is developing interactive tools that will help medical students and healthcare workers understand complex procedures through simulations. These include clinical scanning simulators and videos related to eye surgery. Through these tools, students will be able to understand different situations and practice the procedures.
New possibilities from technology in medicine
Technology will increase new possibilities in medicine
This research by IIT Jodhpur is an important step towards improving health services through AI, computer science and robotics. This can help in medical examination and training of doctors. According to Dr. Deepak Mishra, the objective of the Medical AI Systems Lab is to develop technology that simplifies the work of doctors and improves medical processes, as well as provide assistance to medical students.
