    • Development of low cost biomedical devices
    • Prosthetic Hand development
    • Use of machine learning and artificial intelligent for biomedical applications
    • Brain computer interface for development of medical devices

    Research output till date: A low cost wearable EMG sensor has been developed, which is sensitive enough to capture clear sEMG signal from remaining forearm stump of a trans-radial amputee for generating stable control commands to drive prosthetic devices. The sensor was tested successfully with  different trans-radial amputees to control the movement of 3D printed prosthetic hand using their EMG signal. The amputees would were able to grasp various objects with their different level of muscle contraction using this prosthetic hand. the work has been presented at various levels. One patent being derived and one under process. The time is still in a a process to integrate the EMG and EEG signal to drive the prosthetic hand.
