Christian Medical College, Vellore
Engineering Solutions for Healthcare — Rooted in Clinical Practice
An interdisciplinary engineering department embedded in one of India's foremost medical institutions. We conduct rigorous, clinically-grounded research in physiological measurements, movement analysis, and rehabilitation engineering.
Our education programmes place engineering design and development at the centre, taught within the healthcare context of CMC Vellore — where deep clinical exposure is not an add-on, but a core part of how engineers are trained.
Instrumenration, Electrodiagnostics & Biomedical signal processing
Clinically-grounded movement mechanics & motor assessment
Neurorehabilitation, Robotics & Neuromodulation
Our Mission
Our work is guided by a straightforward question: does it help? We design and develop engineering solutions to clinical problems in India — built with rigour, validated in practice, and measured by their impact on patients and healthcare delivery.
Useful Solutions
We build solutions that work in practice — affordable, clinically validated, and relevant to the healthcare realities of India.
Education
Training engineers through rigorous design and development, with deep clinical exposure at CMC Vellore as a core part of the learning experience.
Healthcare Impact
Our measure of success is whether our work makes a difference — in clinics, in the community, and in the lives of patients in India and beyond.

View PositionsOur Research
Our research is focused on three areas — all grounded in clinical problems, developed in close collaboration with clinicians at CMC Vellore, and evaluated by their usefulness in practice.
Physiological
Measurements
Instrumentation, data acquisition, and analysis of physiological signals for clinical assessment and research. Work in this area spans electrodiagnostics, biosignal processing, and machine learning applied to physiological data.
- Electrodiagnostics & biosignal acquisition
- Biomedical signal processing
- Machine learning for clinical data
Movement Analysis
Rigorous, instrumented assessment of human movement for clinical decision-making and research. We develop methods and tools for analysing gait, upper limb function, and motor control in neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
- Gait & balance analysis
- Upper limb motor assessment
- Wearable sensing systems
Rehabilitation
Engineering
Design and development of assistive devices, prostheses, and rehabilitation systems for people with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. We work closely with the Departments of PMR and Neurology at CMC Vellore.
- Prosthetics & assistive devices
- Rehabilitation robotics & FES
- Neuromodulation
