PU students develop gloves that can detect hand disorders
A team of students from the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), Panjab University, have developed a unique type of medical gloves that can help in early detection and diagnosis of hand disorders. The invention has been granted a seed-funding of Rs 4 lakh by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for upgrading it into a start-up.
The students from the Design Innovation Centre at UIET, PU, invented the IoT device that will help detect and diagnose early complications in hand and finger joints over a period of three years. They were mentored by Dr Prashant Jindal and Dr Mamta Juneja.
According to Dr Prashant Jindal, the device was designed and fabricated within the lab at UIET in consultation with physicians. It seeks to provide valuable information about the movement of fingers, joints of a human hand or fingers, gripping capacity and force to physiotherapists, orthopaedics and surgeons. This will help in the early detection and diagnosis of various disorders that lead to loss of strength in joints, nerves and muscles.
“This glove is aesthetic, comfortable, user-friendly and enabled to show user’s real time data as well as progressive recovery graphs for any time period through a mobile app. A treating physician can, therefore, monitor and advise the patient remotely while the patient uses this glove at his/her home. This device is IoT enabled which is its novelty apart from the design and is useful for real-time and remote sense monitoring,” Jindal said. These features will be beneficial for patients as they would not need to make a visit to a physician for consultation.
PU is a central and state government-funded university. The university has six constituent colleges located at Sikhwala (Sri Muktsar Sahib), Balachaur (SBS Nagar), Nihalsingh Wala (Moga), Dharamkot (Moga), Mokham Khan Wala (Ferozepur) and Guru Harsahai (Ferozepur).
PU offers undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma/PG diploma, certificate and professional courses in streams such as business and management studies, accounting and commerce, arts (fine/ visual/performing), design, engineering, humanities and social sciences, law, medicine and health sciences and science.
