“A Multi-disciplinary program to produce deep-tech innovators in the field of Medical Technologies

"Innovation is defined as ‘The design, development, and/or implementation of new or altered products, services, processes, systems, organisational structures, or business models for the purpose of creating new value for customers and financial returns for the firm’. In other words, innovation implies the implementation of new or significantly improved products, services, or processes (Haughom, J (2014). Innovation in Healthcare: Why It’s Needed and Where It’s Going. Health Catalyst). It also involves the translation of inventions into value-added products or services or systems which create value for the end user.

The Post Graduate Programs in Medical Technologies, jointly offered by IIT Jodhpur and AIIMS Jodhpur, are uniquely placed wherein the major objective is to foster innovation and to produce a pool of Medical Technologists in the country who shall develop globally competitive Medical and Healthcare Technologies to address the current as well as emerging challenges of the future. These programs have been conceived and designed in a way to not only knit together the relevant key elements of Medical Science and Engineering Technology but also have desired emphasis on translational R&D, innovation, technology management, and entrepreneurship aspects to work upon for realizing the deployable techniques, technologies, devices and systems in medical & healthcare domains."

The program seeks highly motivated professionals having a distinct flair for interdisciplinary research and innovation and carries it forward to set up startups in the healthcare sector. The program offers an equal number of seats to medical and engineering graduates, and coursework is offered jointly by IITJ and AIIMS Jodhpur. The coursework is followed by a project enabling the creation of a futuristic device/process/product/protocol.”
