New Delhi: The use of AI and robotics is increasing in the medical field. The Medical AI Systems Lab led by Dr. Deepak Mishra at IIT Jodhpur is developing technology that can help in ultrasound of the heart, detection of rib fractures and training of medical students. Its objective is to make the work of doctors and health workers easier.
Robot will help in ultrasound examination of heart
Ultrasound examination of the heart, i.e. echocardiography, requires experience and technology to obtain accurate images. It is very important to keep the ultrasound probe in the right place during the examination. To help in this process, researchers are working on AI so that this work can be done easily. In this technology, the robot will handle the ultrasound probe, while AI will help in determining its direction and position. Its aim is to simplify the testing process and help health workers conduct tests in a better way.
AI will identify fractures in medical scans
The lab is also working in the field of medical imaging, and hence an AI based solution is being developed, which will help in identifying rib fractures by analyzing medical scans. This can help doctors understand the reports and take decisions regarding further treatment. This technology is being prepared to assist doctors in their work instead of replacing them.
Training of medical students will also be better
A special part of research is related to medical education. The lab is developing interactive tools that will help medical students and healthcare professionals understand complex procedures through simulations. These include videos from clinical scanning simulators and videos related to eye surgery. Through these tools, students will be able to understand different situations and practice the procedures.
Technology will increase new possibilities in medicine
This research of 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 goal of the Medical AI Systems Lab is to create technology that can ease the work of doctors and improve medical processes, and will also help medical students.
