Thrust Areas

Biomedical Instrumentation Lab

The aim is to create and improve instruments and devices for diagnosis and monitoring purposes. This involves capturing and analysing physiological signals from the heart, brain, or muscles to support medical decision-making. Biomedical instrumentation utilizes a variety of sensors to observe physiological signals and identify crucial biomarkers in healthcare and biomedical fields. Biomedical instrumentation has created new possibilities in the medical sector, enabling patients with terminal illnesses to extend their lives and improving disease management.
