My Research
I have interest in any clinical or non clinical research which has potential to impact masses and solve critical bottlenecks and pain points for people.
Breathe Analyser
Lead Researcher
Designed a Breathe Analyser for Cancer detection using BioVOC along with a team of Harvard researchers currently under clinical trials. It aims to create a portable non-invasive diagnostic tool.
Patient Centred Feedback System
Lead Researcher
Developed clinical study result based new gamified version of Feedback system to capture all hospital endpoints with Manipal Hospital Group.
Wound Healing
Lead Researcher
Leading a team of Harvard and KMC Plastic surgeons to create advanced technique for wound healing without sutures by using microinjection needles.
Healing rate- Improved by 60%
Time of healing- Reduced by 70%
Current Status- Planning Stage
Psycho-Oncology Care System
Lead Researcher:
Worked on developing a Psycho-Oncology Care system to help patients with stress and psychological burden associated with cancer and its treatment. The study formed the core of palliative and end of life care for cancer patients.
Other Patents and Publications
1. Social Networking in Medical Education – Evaluated how health-science students used social media for learning and how this could be leveraged for better teaching strategies.
2. Acute Limb Ischemia “Beyond the Golden Hour” – Developed a simple clinical algorithm that guided limb salvage versus amputation decisions using bedside findings in delayed acute limb ischemia.
3. AV Fistula Maturation in Haemodialysis – Conducted a systematic review that identified patient and surgical factors predicting AV fistula maturation to guide vascular access planning in CKD patients.
4. Skin Conditions in blood cancer – Described how severe water-triggered itching in an older man led to the diagnosis of an underlying blood disease, showing this symptom can be an early warning sign.
5. Kikuchi-Like Lymphadenitis Unmasking Systemic Lupus Erythematosus – Showed how persistent fever and neck swellings in a young man, first thought to be a simple viral illness, were later found to be an early form of lupus.
6. Non-Typhoid Salmonella Spondylodiscitis – Reported an unusual spinal infection in a diabetic woman caused by common food-borne bacteria, stressing the need for biopsy and targeted antibiotics when back pain does not fit the usual pattern.
7. Adult Proximal Femoral Solitary Bone Cyst – Described a rare benign bone cyst in the upper thigh bone of a 31-year-old woman and how timely surgery prevented fracture and allowed early walking.
​
8. Sigmoid Colon Schwannoma – Presented a rare benign nerve-related tumour in the large intestine that looked like cancer on scans, where surgery and lab testing confirmed a non-cancerous cure.
