Features : • e-Auction Description of Work : Screening Device to Diagnose Early Onset of Diabetes • e-Auction Type : NonExclusive • e-Auction Number : NE/KIHT/20013 • Base Price : 5000000.00 • Licenses : 2 • e-Auction Category : Intellectual Property Transfer • e-Auction Date / Time : 08-06-2018 17:59 • TRL : 6 • A portable, easy‐to‐use, non‐invasive device for quantitative measurement of plantar tissue stiffness to diagnose the early onset of diabetic foot ulcer. • The perspective view of the stiffness measurement device consists of an outer plastic case with top (1) and bottom (2) casing covers with the right hand side of the device having a plunger (3) and the left hand side of the device having an intender (4). The Indenter (4) comes in contact with the foot (5) whose stiffness is to be measured. • Need and Demand : • Diabetic foot ulcer is worldwide phenomenon and it is cause for more than 85% of all lower leg amputations. • India (65 million) stands 2nd behind China (98 million) in number of diabetes patients. • Early diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcer can significantly improve life expectancy of diabetic patients. • Market Access Information : • The global market for diabetes therapeutics and diagnostics(including devices for diagnosis and monitoring, as well as therapeutic agents) is expected to climb from $110 billion in 2011 to nearly $157 billion by 2017, according to BCC Research. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to increase by 4.7% in North America, by 5.7% in Europe, and by 6.6% in Asia. The combined diabetes care devices market for China, India and Brazil was valued at $1.4 billion in 2013. For India, the total device market for Diabetic care (therapeutic & diagnostics) is valued at $0.5 billion currently. • Future Developments : • Currently clinical trials are ongoing and are expected to conclude in a couple of months. A miniaturised and rapid data-capturing version is being designed. Additionally, few more sensors like vibration, temperature, etc will also be added to enhance the device.
