IIT Madras researchers develop portable POCUS scanner for on-field sports injury diagnosis.

Researchers at IIT Madras have developed an indigenous portable Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) scanner designed for on-field diagnosis of sports injuries. Powered by Artificial Intelligence, this cutting-edge device could revolutionise sports medicine by providing immediate injury assessment during training and matches, allowing medical professionals to make real-time decisions on whether athletes can continue playing.

This technology, developed at the Centre of Excellence in Sports Science and Analytics (CESSA), brings hospital-grade ultrasound imaging to the field, aiding in faster recovery and potentially preventing further injury.

The development team, led by Prof. Arun K. Thittai from the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, #IITMadras, is targeting full product readiness by the end of 2024, with testing and data collection underway in collaboration with sports authorities.

This innovation marks another stride in making advanced sports technology accessible to athletes, ensuring that India remains at the forefront of sports medicine and athlete management.
