Advanced Cardiovascular Tech. Laboratory
Embedded Files
The Advanced Cardiovascular Technology (ACT) lab performs R&D to create next generation technology for screening, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular diseases. We have a strong focus on tech-driven methods & solutions for both detecting the disease early-on, and to ensure continued compliance to lifestyle modifications that are essential to create an impact in clinical outcomes. With a strong focus on technologies for reliable and accurate, non-invasive assessment of "Vascular Ageing & Management", ACTLab is committed to providing engineering solutions to large, unmet clinical requirements, with technology that is highly usable, scalable and easily deployable in a variety of settings such as hospitals, clinics, home and wellness scenarios.
The ACT Lab takes a highly collaborative approach and closely works with and works with more than 10 clinical partners across India, and over 4 international research partners in Netherlands, Germany and USA. We are part of the IIT Madras Centre of Excellence in Healthcare Technology and closely work with other R&D centers of IIT Madras such as Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre, Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre, and Measurements & Instrumentation Laboratory. The ACT Lab fosters a highly inter-disciplinary ecosystem of more than 100 people, including faculty, research scholars, full time engineers ( hardware, software, mechanical and industrial design experts), clinical study specialists, biologists, bio tech researchers, doctors, and experienced biomedical engineering consultants.
R&D @ ACT Lab is supported by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Ministry of Human Resource Development ( under the IoE scheme), Science and Engineering Research Board, Dept. of Science & Technology, Dept. of Bio Technology, IIT Madras, Pravarthak Foundation and industry.

We are a pioneering lab dedicated to conducting innovative experiments in the realm of cardiovascular health using indigenously developed medical devices. With a strong focus on experimentation, we strive to push the boundaries of knowledge and advance the field of cardiovascular health assessment. Our team of passionate researchers and engineers collaborates on groundbreaking projects, aiming to improve early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Clinical & Field Studies
Clinical & Field Studies
We perform extensive clinical verification and validation of all the technology and devices that we develop in the lab. A network of clinical partners across the country offer us deep clinical insights during our R&D. Taking devices to the real proving grounds in a clinical or field testing scenario offers a very unique and excitting opportunity for the scholars to get real world understanding and feedback on device usability, reliability and practical feasibility.
