About the Topic:
The trend in medical device design and manufacturing is toward smaller, more portable products that require more advanced components, manufacturing technologies and automation techniques. Medical products covering the range of patient monitors, drug delivery systems, therapeutic devices, and life assist devices all are lessening in size while increasing in performance and features.

Wearable and even implantable devices that monitor, administer, treat and track patient conditions are increasingly common replacements to large, complex instruments that up until recently only a physician or technician would typically use. Wearable connected devices are becoming ubiquitous, and the popularity of fitness trackers is a major driver of this growth. 

This talk focuses on the challenges associated with design of such medical devices with examples of different form factors and complexities.

About the Speaker:
 
Mohan obtained his Doctorate in EEE (with Biomedical Specialization) from Imperial College London in the domain of ‘Ultra Low Power Wearable Systems’. He has about 25+ years of experience in the Biomedical, Semiconductor & Healthcare industries.

Mohan has worked extensively in product innovation ranging from Consumer to Healthcare Technologies. Most recently, he led a team at Philips Healthcare to launch a low-cost, portable ECG for emerging markets like India.

Mohan currently serves as a Country Head (India) for Wearable Technologies (AG). Earlier, he was Vice President of Strategic Business at MegaChips Corporation where he focused on IoT devices for Healthcare and Smart grids.

Mohan works on several innovations involving Wearables, Hearables, VR/AR and next generation eTextiles specific to Sports & Healthcare.

As a response to the MHRD, India notification dated 11 May, 2018 on MIT Student Council Page, about 50 students of Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), MAHE have registered on the portal for internship. However, the latest AICTE notifications dated 21 and 23 May 2018 (attached to the mail) make it mandatory for every student to carry out 100 hours internship related to Swachh Bharat during this vacation and submit a report on it to the faculty mentor assigned, and also upload it on the portal.

In this context, you are requested to assign faculty mentors to the students who have completed IV and VI semester in MIT, MAHE. Kindly assign a faculty mentor to every 20 students (based on Roll numbers) of the department. In addition, the departments are requested to send the list of faculty mentors to the respective class representatives (CRs). The CRs in turn will inform the students of their class.
Further, we request the faculty mentors to ensure that all the assigned IV and VI semester students register for the internship by logging on tohttps://sbsi.mygov.in. on or before 15 June 2018.


Kindly treat this as an important matter and complete the process.
