Advances in Healthcare, Image Processing and Internet Of Medical Things
IEEE WIE AG Technical Talk on Advances in Healthcare, Image Processing and Internet Of Medical Things
For the last few decades, the developments in treatment methods and surgeries are increasing in healthcare, with the advancement of imaging systems, image processing, artificial intelligence techniques, robotics, high speed computing systems, large capacity storage devices, wide spread high speed internet and Wi-Fi facilities, lasers etc., Image processing has been playing a major role in easy diagnosis of diseases, non-invasive surgeries, remote surgeries, autonomous hospital facilities and many more activities for healthcare. Image processing and hyper-spectral or multi-spectral imaging techniques, greatly help diagnosing various eye diseases - like Glaucoma, Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy etc. Early stage detection of breast cancer is important to decrease the mortality rate. The Internet of medical things (IoMT) is another application for medical and health related areas, for creating a digitized healthcare systems, for treating patients from their homes and connecting available medical resources and healthcare services. To meet the worldwide demand for pathologists and for objective results, laboratories are incorporating digitization pathology with analytical software and artificial intelligence (AI). Pandemic has demanded Iot, collaborative research between various healthcare companies and hospitals etc., to get healthcare from homes, which was changing patient safety from hospital to home. Key hole surgery and robotic surgery are taking important role in healthcare, giving advantage to patients for faster recovery and early return to work.Robotic surgeries are used for treating patients from remote places. Controlling robos with brain signal is another on going research. Students would have lot of scope to carry out projects and designing sub-systems in these areas. During the past years, hospitals are witnessing a decline in inpatient volumes along with a corresponding rise at outpatient utilization. This ongoing shift to the outpatient setting has been driven largely by advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques and advanced anesthesia techniques that allow patients to recover more quickly. Hospital on wheels facilitate employs in corporate companies to visit doctors, avail dental care, eyecare and availing minor surgical procedures, etc., Most challenging task is providing minimum Healthcare facilities for Rural and semi urban areas.

Advances in Healthcare, Image Processing and Internet Of Medical Things
Biography:
Dr.K.M.M.Rao joined Indian Institute of Science(I.I.Sc), Bangalore in 1973, He designed and developed Black and White and Colour Drum Scanner Imager, first time in India, for digitizing and reproducing various types of photographic prints. At Institute of Science, he carried out research in Image Processing, Aerial Remote Sensing and Photowriting. Since 1976, he worked in National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC)/ISRO in various positions. He was designated as Operations Director for Indian Remote Sensing Satellites,IRS-1C in 1996 and IRS-1D in 1997. He was Deputy Director (Data Processing Area) at NRSC, till December 2006. As adjunct faculty BITS-Pilani associated with Hyderabad campus, he established and taught the courses, Digital Image Processing and Remote Sensing. At BITS,Hyderabad,he guided students for their research projects and also supervised Ph.D students in medical image processing. He worked in IRS projects, starting from 1km resolution satellite to 80 cm resolution satellites in ISRO.He has designed and developed number of technologies for Image Processing and Remote Sensing applications. He obtained five patents for his designs. He got number of awards for his inventions viz.,National Academy of Science India Award along with a gold medal, citation and cash award, in the field of Instrumentation in 1995. Drum Scanner-Digitizer bagged the Best Invention Award in 1994. Presidential Award for Meritorious Invention of Color Photowrite System on 15th August, 1993.Best Invention Award for Color Photo write System in 1992.Engineer of the Year Award from Institute of Engineers, AP State Centre for 1989.Satellite Image Processing System (SIPS) bagged Best Invention Award in 1989. IEEE award for notable services during 2021-2022.9.As a chair,IEEE LMAG bagged IEEE award for conducting more number of events during 2022.Etc.,He is Fellow of Institute of Electronics & Telecommunications (IETE) India, Fellow of ISNT, Life Senior Member IEEE (US), Life Member Indian Society of Remote Sensing (ISRS). He is Chair, Life Member Affinity group, IEEE Hyderabad Section.He has around 150 research publications/reports to his credit. He has supervised more than 300 graduateand undergraduate students in their research projects. Six of his students got Ph.D from JNTU, Hyderabad and BITS-Pilani.Brought out a Special Issue of International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation on Indian Remote Sensing Satellite, Resourcesat-1 as guest editor. He has visited number of countries, such as USA,UK, Canada, Netherlands, Singapore, Bangkok, Dubai, Nepal, etc. His areas of interest include Satellite Data Processing, Image Processing, Medical Imaging and processing, Data Mining, Photo Writing,etc.,
