On Friday 10th January 2020, the In-House Researches event of IEEE OUCE EMBS Student Branch Chapter, took place which was a joint effort of the IEEE OUCE EMBS Student Branch Chapter and the Department of Bio Medical Engineering, Osmania University in the Seminar Hall of BME Department from 11:00 am till 1:00 pm organised and hosted by IEEE OUCE EMBS Student Branch Chapter.
In-house Researches on “NON-INVASIVE POINT OF CARE SICKLE CELL DIAGNOSIS” and “DROWSINESS DETECTION IN DRIVERS” were conducted by Mr. M. Venkateswara Rao, Adjunct Faculty, BME Dept., University College on Engineering, Osmania University and Dr. D. Suman Reddy, Assistant Professor, BME Dept., University College on Engineering, Osmania University respectively.
The event’s main agenda was to make the students aware of the researches currently being conducted in the department, how a research is carried out and how to approach a problem statement to conduct the research. The first talk was about non-invasive point of care diagnosis of sickle cell disease for which the Telangana state Thalassemia society supported by providing blood samples for experimenting. The second talk was about drowsiness detection in drivers by assessing their occulomotor system through EOG and EEG to prevent road accidents that mostly take place due to inactive drivers. It was a very informative event; many students took part in it.
