Researchers develop low cost device to screen for blood disorders
Engineers from IIT Bombay and Rheoheme Blood Diagnostic Technologies have built an automated point-of-care device that accurately screens for anaemia and sickle cell disease using one drop of blood.

Researchers at IIT Bombay and Rheoheme Blood Diagnostic Technologies have developed a low-cost point-of-care device to screen for anaemia and sickle cell disease, Inshorts reported. The technology allows medical personnel to identify severe blood conditions quickly without using complex laboratory infrastructure. [1]
Inshorts reported that the new device operates by measuring both the length and viscosity of an automated blood smear created from a single drop of blood. This automated method delivers accurate screening results for severe cases of anaemia and detects sickle cell disease. [1]
As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, the research team was led by Professor Mahesh Tirumkudulu in the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay. The system automates how far a single drop of blood spreads across a glass slide to perform its diagnostic measurements. [2][3]
In short
- Researchers developed a low-cost point-of-care device to screen for anaemia and sickle cell disease.
- The device works by measuring the length and viscosity of an automated blood smear from a single drop of blood.
- Professor Mahesh Tirumkudulu led the research team in the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay.
- The new technology operates accurately without requiring complex laboratory infrastructure.
