EngD and PhD Studentships: Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Innovation in Non-Destructive evaluation (FIND-CDT)
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Innovation in Non-Destructive evaluation (FIND) is a partnership between a group of leading universities (Bristol, Imperial College London, Manchester, Nottingham, Strathclyde or Warwick) offering a 4-year industrially-linked doctoral training programme designed to launch you into an engineering career. The CDT has close links to the UK’s internationally leading Research Centre for Non-Destructive Evaluation (RCNDE) with a vibrant network of more than 250 researchers across a range of disciplines.

Chennai: Indian Institute of Technology Madras researchers have developed ‘BlockTrack’, a first-of-its-kind blockchain-based secure medical data and information exchange system for a mobile phone-based application. This system is currently being field-tested at IIT Madras Institute Hospital.
The project has been undertaken with CSR support from Infosys originating during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last year. BlockTrack aims to securely digitize healthcare information systems while ensuring the protection of sensitive personal information and medical records by decentralizing the control and ownership of patient data, through a blockchain-based innovation. The BlockTrack innovation is now protected through a provisional IP filed with the Indian Patent Office.

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras researchers have developed ‘BlockTrack’, a first-of-its-kind blockchain-based secure medical data and information exchange system for a mobile phone-based application. This system is currently being field-tested at IIT Madras Institute Hospital.
The project has been undertaken with CSR support from Infosys originating during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last year. BlockTrack aims to securely digitise healthcare information systems while ensuring the protection of sensitive personal information and medical records by decentralising the control and ownership of patient data, through a blockchain-based innovation. The BlockTrack innovation is now protected through a provisional IP filed with the Indian Patent Office.
The project, initiated in 2019, had CSR support from Infosys Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras have developed “blocktrack”, a blockchain-based secure medical data and information exchange system for mobile phone applications. The system is field tested at the Institute’s hospital.
The project originated during the height of COVID-19 in 2020 has CSR support from Infosys. Blocktrack aims to securely digitising healthcare information systems while protecting sensitive personal information and medical records by decentralising control and ownership of patient data through a blockchain-based innovation.
The innovation is protected through a provisional IP filed with the Indian Patent Office.
Blocktrack has two separate versions one for patients and another for doctors. A code for users is generated to ensure uniqueness across boundaries to prevent duplication. The app can transfer healthcare information management by maintaining data privacy and tracki
