Secure Ultrasound is a novel MedTech solution currently under development by UTSAAH Lab, Department of Design and Manufacturing, Indian Institute of Science, in collaboration with St. John’s Hospital, Bangalore.

This project focuses on a portable fetal ultrasound scanning device, specifically designed for deployment in rural hospital settings that lack on-site radiologists. Its core objective is to expand access to critical diagnostic capabilities in underserved communities.

The development encompasses comprehensive hardware design, intuitive user interaction modeling, rapid prototyping, and ensuring manufacturability. All design and development adhere to stringent IP ratings mandated for CDSCO certification. A key design principle is simplifying usability, enabling operation by non-medical professionals with minimal training. The project also involves navigating complex ethics and regulatory approvals, including submissions to institutional review boards and PCPNDT authorities for clinical pilots.

Due to the confidential and proprietary nature of the Secure Ultrasound project, further detailed information is subject to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and cannot be publicly disclosed.
