How MICE ( Medical Innovation, Creativity , Innovation and Entrepreneurship) labs is helping medical students to think out of the box at JJ Hospital by allowing them to tinker

5. Digital disruption
• Will Dr Watson make doctors
obsolete ?

6. MedTech advances
• EMRs and PHRs
• Apps and Chatbots
• Telemedicine ad mHealth
• VR , AR and 3D imaging
• Robotics
• Genomics, Informatics and Biotechnology
• Big Data and Cloud Computing
• Blockchain
• Sensors and Implants

8. Reinventing Doctors!

12. Heartbuds – using the smartphone
as a stethoscope

13. Peek – Smartphone-based
Eye-testing kit

14. So why do so many healthcare
startups flop ?
• Because techies fall in love with their
products
• Don’t understand the realities of
clinical practice
• Graveyard of clever health-tech
devices

17. The google smart contact lens
fiasco

18. So what’s the solution ?

19. How can we get doctors to
innovate ?

20. Reinventing Medical Education
• We need to teach the next generation of
doctors to think out of the box.
• Young , intelligent, technically-savvy
medical students need to come up with
innovative solutions , which allow them
to take care of patients on a much larger
scale than doctors did in the past.

21. Medical Innovation Creativity and
Entrepreneurship Lab
• We need to create a new generation of
doctors who are future-ready.
• This is a hands-on Tinkering Lab, which will
encourage doctors and medical students to do
things with their own hands, so they can
create solutions to indigenous problems .

22. Hospitals are where the patients
are !
• Allows for cross-disciplinary collaboration.
• Medical students can talk to engineers, senior
doctors and designers under one roof
• Perspectives from different fields could be
blended together to create brand new
solutions which are co-created for Indian
conditions.
• Inputs from patients and caregivers

23. Innovation should start from the
bedside !
• Easy access to patients
• Senior doctors will provide guidance and
mentorship.
• Doctors understand the pain points of
patients, so that the solutions they
provide will be practical and feasible, and
can be implemented easily in India.

24. The 4 Ds of medical device
innovation ( BETIC, IIT)
• Define unmet clinical needs
• Design prototypes in the MICE
lab
• Deliver to the bedside
• Deploy in the market

• This glove is programmed so
that a paralyzed patient can
control the lights & fans
switches in the room.
•The bend sensor in the glove
enables this function.
Technical Specs:-
1.Bend sensors
2.Infrared sensors
3.Any Microcontroller

36. Contact-Less Temperature Sensor

without any physical contact using
infrared technology
•Useful in wards for continuous
temperature monitoring of the patients.
Technical Specs:
1.Infrared Temperature sensor
2.Microcontroller

37. Automated Moving
Bed

to transport patients to the
OT or the X-ray
department in
emergencies

a simple gesture of the patient
•A mobile application for the
caretaker
Technical Specifications:-
1.Gesture sensor
2.Any microcontroller

39. Combining 3D printer and
Augmented Reality

40. CPR Mannequin

41. Future plans
• Hackathons
• Workshops
• Collaborate with engineering colleges ( BETIC
from IIT)
• Publish medical journal articles
• Apply for research grants from ICMR and
BIRAC
• Apply for patents

43. Long term goals
• Award Stanford BioDesign Scholarships for
global partnerships
• Incubate a startup
• Start MICE Labs in all medical colleges
• Include Medical Innovation and
Entrepreneurship in the medical curriculum

46. Hope, hype and harm
• Engineers fall In love with the
newest shiny new object
• Doctors have burned their fingers in
the past – don’t trust engineers
• Think they don’t understand
anything about patient care

47. Partner with senior doctors
• Can mentor healthcare startups
• Doctors as an angel investors
• Help them to remain on the cutting edge
of medicine !

48. Doctor vs Engineer
Bridge the gap !
• Doctors are conservative – if it’s not
broken, why fix it ? Cannot afford to
experiment with our patients !
• Engineers want to break stuff and put it
apart again !
• But not at the expense of patients !

49. Where are the healthcare
startup success stories ?
• No Olas and Flipkarts in the digital
health world so far
• Practo has been richly funded, but
where’s the ROI for the investors ?
• Or for the patients and doctors ?
• No change in quality of medical care
