Mechatronics in Healthcare (Medical Devices Industry Facts)

Helium-Free MRI Technology

 

Pune, 27 March 2025 – “Conventional MRI scanners rely on liquid helium to cool the superconducting magnets to extremely low temperatures, enabling the generation of strong magnetic fields necessary for high-resolution imaging. Helium is a scarce and expensive resource, and its supply can be disrupted, leading to high costs and potential operational issues for MRI facilities. Philips' BlueSeal technology using Helium-free MRI systems and that’s why we are here to update student on it”- Mr. Sushil Jadhav from Royal Philips NV, Netherland

The School of Mechatronics Engineering, SSPU, successfully hosted a seminar titled "Mechatronics in Healthcare (Medical Devices Industry Facts)". Mr. Sushil Jadhav from Royal Philips NV, Netherlands, delivered an insightful session covering key aspects of Medical Device Manufacturing, AI in Healthcare, and Biomedical Instrumentation.

The seminar provided an in-depth understanding of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) classification and explored the scope of Mechatronics in healthcare, including drug delivery systems, surgical robots, prosthetics, and wearable healthcare.

The event was coordinated by Megha Patil, Senior Assistant Professor, Sagar Wankhede, Associate Professor, and Hrushikesh Kulkarni, In-Charge Director of the School of Mechatronics Engineering.

 “Helium-free MRI systems can lower costs of ownership by reducing helium consumption, eliminating refill costs, and simplifying installation. Helium-free systems eliminate the need for costly helium refills and reduce energy consumption. Helium-free MRI technology contributes to sustainability by reducing helium consumption and energy usage. Emerging trends, Top MRI trends and this updated knowledge will help our student to grow”- Megha Patil, Senior Assistant Professor, The School of Mechatronics Engineering, SSPU.

The session highlighted the role of interdisciplinary knowledge in medical technology, emphasizing the integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering with control systems. The discussion also covered innovative solutions such as BlueSeal MRI technology and helium-free MRI machines, which represent ground breaking advancements in diagnostic imaging. Additionally, Jadhav provided insights into the global medical devices market, elaborating on the top medical companies and the leading medical device manufacturers by revenue, thus giving students an industry-oriented perspective.

The event served as a platform for students to explore potential career opportunities in the healthcare technology sector, fostering innovation and research in medical device manufacturing. By integrating this knowledge into their academic and professional pursuits, students are now better equipped to contribute effectively to the healthcare industry, aligning their skills with the evolving demands of medical technology.
