Scientists from which institute have developed a portable, user-friendly, and non-invasive device for detecting oral cancer in resource-constrained clinical settings in January 2022?

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: (b) IIT, Kharagpur
Explanation:
· In January 2022, scientists from IIT Kharagpur developed a portable, non-invasive, and user-friendly device designed for early detection of oral cancer, especially useful in resource-constrained rural and semi-urban clinical settings.
· The device uses optical sensing technologies to identify malignant changes in oral tissues.
Information Booster:
· India has one of the highest burdens of oral cancer, largely due to tobacco use.
· The IIT Kharagpur device allows:
· Rapid point-of-care screening
· No biopsy requirement for initial diagnosis
· Low-cost detection, making it ideal for primary health centers
· Technology used: Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) and Machine Learning algorithms for accurate prediction.
