The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has introduced CEREBO, a handheld, non-invasive diagnostic device designed to detect traumatic brain injuries, particularly in rural and emergency settings where CT or MRI scanners are not easily available. Developed using near-infrared spectroscopy integrated with machine learning, CEREBO can detect intracranial bleeding and brain swelling within a minute. It provides colour-coded, radiation-free, cost-effective results and is safe for use on infants and pregnant women. With just 30 minutes of training, even paramedical staff or non-specialised personnel can operate it. According to ICMR Director-General Dr. Rajiv Bahl, this indigenous technology aims to reduce deaths and disabilities caused by traumatic brain injuries. The ICMR has urged State governments to adopt the technology to expand access to affordable brain diagnostics.
