The Indian medical device industry is no longer just about innovation, it's about building technologies that are safe, compliant, and globally competitive. With India's healthcare ecosystem expanding rapidly, regulatory expectations are evolving just as quickly. To help manufacturers, innovators, and startups navigate this landscape, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), recently conducted a

What is a biochemistry analyzer? A biochemistry analyzer measures specific substances in blood, serum, or plasma — running tests like liver function, kidney function, lipid profile, and blood glucose — and converts them into the numbers on a patient's diagnostic report. In India, three types are available: semi-automated (₹1.5–3L), fully automatic (₹8–50L), and portable point-of-care platforms. Look for CDSCO licensing and ISO 13485:2016 certification before buying. Key takea

Mobilab portable diagnostic device was demonstrated to visitors at SATCON Regional 2026, Surat On 7th June 2026, leaders from across industries came together at SATCON Regional 2026 in Surat to exchange ideas around sustainability, conscious living, innovation, and the future of responsible growth. Hosted in association with the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI), the event brought together industrialists, business owners, hospitality leaders, healthcar

International Men's Health Week — June 9–15 The diseases that take the most men rarely announce their arrival. There's a quiet kind of courage that doesn't get talked about much. Not the courage to push through pain, ignore a symptom, or "tough it out" — men are already very good at that. The harder, rarer courage is the opposite: to stop, sit down, and find out what's going on inside your body before symptoms or complications make the decision for you. That's the entire po

On 18 May 2026, we carried Mobilab into the Center for Medical Innovation at GIMS, Greater Noida — CMI-GIMS — for the AI Roundtable & MedTech Hospital Demo Day 2026. Running alongside it were two more sessions built to keep everyone honest: "AI for Doctors — From Doctors," and the 2nd Edition MedTech Regulatory Clinic. If you wanted a soft launchpad for a healthtech pitch, this was the opposite of that. The room was a cross-section of everyone who gets a vote on whether a med

India is witnessing a healthcare transformation driven by MedTech innovation, point-of-care diagnostics, digital health, and public-private partnerships (PPP). Yet, despite remarkable research and breakthrough healthcare technologies emerging from laboratories across the country, a critical question remains: How do healthcare innovations reach the last mile? This question took center stage at the recent ICMR "Innovators to Industry" event, where researchers, startups, manufac

For millions of families living in India's villages, a simple blood test is rarely simple. The nearest diagnostic lab can be hours away, the reports can take days to arrive, and by the time a result reaches the doctor, the window for early treatment has often closed. This is the quiet crisis behind much of rural healthcare. The growing role of AI diagnostics in rural India is beginning to change that picture, bringing faster, more accurate testing closer to the people who hav

Planning a diagnostic centre in India in 2026? This guide breaks down the equipment, licences, setup costs, and common challenges — and how AI-powered point-of-care testing is making it faster and cheaper to open one.

A patient walks into your clinic with a fever that won't settle. You suspect it's something routine, but you need bloodwork to be sure. So you write a referral, hand it over, and ask them to come back with the report. Many never do. If you run a clinic, you already know this pattern. The patient means to get the test done. Then the lab is across town, the report takes two days, work gets in the way — and by the time anything moves, the moment for a clean, early decision has p
