About this grant
IHFC (I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics at IIT Delhi), ARTPARK (AI & Robotics Technology Park at IISc, Bengaluru), and Siemens Healthineers have issued a joint Call for Proposals targeting four specific clinical and operational challenges in medical imaging and workflow automation. This is a problem-first, industry-anchored grant — selected proposals receive funding of up to ₹2 crore.
The four problem statements are: wireless ECG monitoring solutions that eliminate cable interference with C-arm movement in cardiac catheterization labs; predictive navigation tools that reduce collision risk during C-arm repositioning in congested operating theatres; connected area radiation monitors for X-ray rooms that provide ambient dose tracking with centralized dashboards; and autonomous ultrasound systems that automate patient preparation, probe handling, image acquisition, and report generation.
Beyond funding, selected teams are onboarded into IHFC's Medical Cobotics Centre — a state-of-the-art facility at IIT Delhi established under the Government of India's NM-ICPS program. Teams also access ARTPARK's applied R&D infrastructure at IISc and get a direct validation pathway through Siemens Healthineers, one of the world's largest medical technology companies with operations in 180+ countries. The end goal is translational: from proposal to productization to commercialization.
The program is designed to close the gap between Indian MedTech R&D and global clinical standards, with an emphasis on domestic manufacturing and self-reliance.
