Research Output

Some of the technologies that were successfully developed and demonstrated include the following:

Medical Linac for Cancer Treatment

6MeV medical Linac has been installed in Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Wardha, Maharashtra and RCC, Adyar, Chennai. These machines are being used for treatment of cancer patients.
Under Phase-II of Jai Vigyan Programme, four 6 MeV medical Linac machines have been developed by SAMEER, Mumbai for deployment at four identified hospitals. One Linac machine at Indore is under installation and commissioning.

Products for visually impaired

The following products have been developed for visually impaired and are being used by a number of blind schools in the country
 • Braille keyboard with audio support
 • Twenty character refreshable tactile reader and a modified Perkins brailler.
 • Text to Braille conversion software in major Indian languages

Telemedicine

The following technologies have been developed in the area of Telemedicine:
 • Telemedicine software systems Mercury & Sanjivani by C-DAC and Telemedik by IIT Kharagpur have been developed and are in use. The technology has also been employed to set up a number of telemedicine networks connecting remote health centres with specialty hospitals.
 • Under telemedicine pilot projects, telemedicine centres have been set up in Tripura, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
 • National Resource centre for Telemedicine & Medical Informatics by SGPGI, Lucknow

Health Informatics
