Introduction
IHYA Lab is a center for mechatronics and resuscitation research that has been recently established by the department of Mechatronics and Control Engineering in collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation Qatar. The Lab aims to develop smart and marketable mechatronic devices which aid in resuscitation practices, in and out of hospital settings, thus saving precious lives of the patients. It also aims to become an innovation hub in the domain of resuscitation sciences.
Thematic Areas
Currently, the major focus of the lab is on the development of newer CPR machines and associated biomedical devices. Major thematic areas in this lab revolve around motion capture, human-body biomechanics, sports biomechanical analysis, resuscitation research, CPR machines, and mechatronic systems.
