ARTSENS – Affordable vascular screening technology! Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre (HTIC) of IIT Madras has developed “ARTSENS”, an affordable vascular screening technology that measures stiffness of blood vessel walls. The technology was developed with the goal of addressing the unmet need of performing large scale vascular health screening that can prevent premature vascular events at a younger age. The device for vascular screening using ARTSENS technology, which is under development is expected to cost between Rs.75,000 - Rs 100,000. This will be at least ten time less than the cost of existing equipment that give the same measurement.
