Handheld devises for detecting oral cancer!! Sascan Meditech, Kerala designed and developed OralScan, a handheld imaging device that can screen and detect tumours in the mouth in very early stages. The patented device not only screens and detects oral lesions, but also assists the surgeon in taking a biopsy from the most appropriate site which is likely to confirm the diagnosis of malignancy. This will avoid multiple biopsies and the proprietary software assists the surgeon in taking a biopsy from the most appropriate site which is likely to confirm the diagnosis of malignancy. It was designed and developed entirely in India and supported by the Biotechnology ignition grant of Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), INVENT (DST) and Kerala Start-Up Mission. Great. Join me to congratulate Subhash Narayanan and the team and wish them all success.
