Talk by Mr. Holla

In his talk ,Mr. Holla detailed the features to be kept in mind while designing a device to be used in the medical field. Few of the key points are as follows:

  • The device should overcome the travelling issues and should be less prone to patient’s visit to the hospital.
  • A device to be implemented which doesn’t require a doctor or a technician to operate in order to over come their busy schedule.
  • The device should be portable and affordable.
  • Easy maintenance.
  • Fewer components to be used to lower the faults if any.
