| The Vortex Energy Generator | Prof. Nogendra Kumar (IIT Bombay) | — | Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, Maharashtra | Department of Science and Technology (DST) |
| This project focuses on an AI-driven analytical framework to study Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in obese heart failure patients. By integrating physiological data, predictive modeling, and advanced analytics, the system aims to enhance early diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized management of OSA in high-risk cardiac patients. | Prof. Sanjeev Sinha | — | All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Telangana | Department of Science and Technology (DST) |
| This technology enables continuous closed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose monitoring in patients with external ventricular drainage (EVD) using an adapted Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor. The system aims to provide early detection of CSF infections, improving clinical response time and patient outcomes through real-time, minimally invasive monitoring. | Dr. Deepak Agrawal | — | All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Telangana | Department of Science and Technology (DST) |
