Health Technology Assessment (HTA), as you may know, is a multi-disciplinary field of policy analysis that examines the medical, economic, social and ethical implications of the incremental value, diffusion and use of a medical technology in healthcare. This program will be very helpful for the biomedical engineers also as it would help them to know about the scientific tools and techniques for technology assessment, legal and regulatory dimensions in use and uptake of health technologies, how to integrate medical technologies in healthcare institutions apart from understanding and assessing clinical epidemiology questions through systematic reviews and critical appraisal of clinical trials.
Experienced international and national faculty have agreed to participate and share their expertise during this week long international fellowship program. People from organizations like WHO Country Office for India, NHSRC, QCI are also coming for this fellowship program.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could control your PC with your brain? Well, this sort of thing may be closer than you think.
Brain-computer interfaces that can translate thoughts into actions will change how stroke patients, paraplegics and other people with limited mobility interact with their surroundings. But so far, these devices have involved bulky corded equipment inside research labs, requiring patients to be tethered to a computer. Now researchers at Brown University have built the first wireless version. Like a cellphone embedded in the brain, their new implantable brain sensor can relay broadband signals in real time from up to 100 neurons
Many of us are terrified of blood tests, where skin is pricked with a needle to get the blood for testing. A solution to this problem has come in the form of ToucHb—a prick-free blood testing device
The inside of ToucHb
Say hello to ToucHb—a prick-free blood testing device brought to you by Biosense Technologies. ToucHb can measure your blood hae-moglobin, oxygen saturation, temperature and pulse rate all without pricking for blood. A team of three—engineer Myshkin Ingawale and doctors Abhishek Sen and Yogesh Patil—was behind making this product from the ground up.
With the increasing health awareness among the masses, an immensurable technological upheaval has been recorded in the medical industry. Blending medical technology with human touch, Medical/Healthcare industry keeps healthy everyone from newborn to the critically ill. With this expansion in Medical/Healthcare sector, the need of the professionals is also gaining strength day by day. Intelligence, passion for humanity and genuine compassion of the medical professionals make them the preferred choice in various healthcare centers.
