IoT-Enabled Ultrasound Scans: IIT Hyderabad

A team of researchers from IIT Hyderabad has been working to use the Internet of Things (IoT) to accurately diagnose kidney and liver disorders with the help of ultrasound scanning devices. It can identify kidney stones and cysts and also grade a “fatty liver” classification. The research has been published in Ingénierie et Recherche Biomédicale (IRBM). The researchers have also included a cloud-based authentication feature that allows identification of the operator by means of iris and fingerprint scans.
