In a groundbreaking development, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati), led by Professor Dipankar Bandyopadhyay from the Department of Chemical Engineering, have introduced a portable device that can instantly determine the Glycemic Index (GI) of fast food and other common food sources.

This innovative device is poised to transform the healthcare landscape by enabling early diagnosis of chronic diseases related to kidney, liver, heart, and pancreas malfunctions.

Led by Prof. Mihir Kumar Purkait of the Department of Chemical Engineering, the research team has undertaken pioneering research on the versatile applications of tea factory waste.

The researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed a 3D printed cost-effective device to detect specific bacteria that cause urinary tract infection (UTI). It is a fast, accurate, and reliable device that can measure and identify the type of bacteria in a UTI suspected patient 

In a major research findings, the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G) have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based model to predict the severity of knee osteoarthritis from X-ray images for a more accurate diagnosis.
