IIT-Madras Researchers develop AI powered portable scanner for sports Injury diagnosis

Chennai, Sep 18 (UNI) The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-Madras) researchers have developed an AI powered indigenous portable Point-of-Care-Ultrasound (POCUS) Scanner for
sports injury diagnosis and management.
They have already been granted several patents for technologies that went into this device and are working towards productization.
This research from the Center of Excellence in Sports Science and Analytics (CESSA) at IIT-Madras could potentially allow for on-field diagnosis of injuries, immediate assessment of the extent of injury that will allow for medical professionals to take a call on whether to permit the sportsperson to continue playing, a release from IIT-Madras said here on Wednesday.
This Artificial Intelligence-powered POCUS scanner has a wide range of applications in sports medicine and it has the benefits of safety (no radiation!) and sufficient resolution compared to other modalities.
A working POCUS prototype for Musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging, developed at the Biomedical Ultrasound Imaging Lab (BUSi) is currently ready.
The researchers are targeting to complete the product prototype development by 2024.
Subsequently, testing and collection of pilot data from the field are also being planned in coordination with the sports authorities.
Prof. Arun K. Thittai, Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, IIT-Madras, who led the team that developed this device, said, “We observed a current technological gap and a need for a Point-of-Care device for injury Management and Rehabilitation of elite athletes within routine training premises."
"A quick assessment for musculoskeletal on the field will help sports players get immediate attention
and focus on recovery”, he said.
