Acheivements

The Department has close clinical interactions with many local hospitals. This led to the development of a number of medical instruments of immediate use to doctors. For instance, the departmental staff has successfully modified electro medical equipment such as bedside monitors, blood-gas analyzers and auto analyzers of corporate hospitals. The staff has designed and developed computer-assisted prescription system (CAPS) that caters to the needs of doctors at primary health centers and district hospitals, helping them in the diagnosis and treatment of about 100 common diseases that afflict the national populace. The staff has also successfully developed import-substitute instruments such as peripheral nerve stimulators, apnoea monitors, bone growth stimulators and dry steam sterilizers.

The Department operates an electro-oculographic laboratory at the Nizams institute of medical sciences, as well as a biomedical instrumentation centre for serving complex medical equipment.

            The Department has designed and developed a microcontroller based saccadic stimulator for the department of clinical therapeutics and pharmacology, Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad.

Vacuums/Pressure monitoring systems were also developed for Department of plastic surgery Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad.

The present research includes ECG analysis using wavelets, Deep brain stimulation studies, saccadic studies and effect of GPS on vital parameters.

Bio-Medical Instrumentation centre (BMIC):

The Department of Biomedical Engineering, University College of Engineering, Osmania University, has a Biomedical Instrumentation Center (BMIC), to meet the ever increasing demand of medical profession in the area of procurement, servicing, repairing and modification of medical equipment. 

The BMIC specially undertakes to:
