Verticals that iHub DivyaSampark is focusing upon

Healthcare 4.0

The Government of India has attempted a series of large-scale interventions to address the above-mentioned challenges through the transformation of health and wellness centers, the development of district hospitals to cater to long-term care for non-communicable diseases, the Ayushman Bharat Mission, the promotion of e-health, etc. However, it is considerably recognized that the adoption of advanced devices and technologies such as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), robotics, telemedicine, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), wearable systems, mobile health apps, artificial intelligence (AI), data analysis, etc., would bring the much-needed changes to the Indian healthcare system in a much more efficient way by reducing costs and providing easy accessibility. Emerging technologies hold great potential to address the needs of Indian healthcare services, which IHUB Divyasampark would be undertaking to augment and accelerate government initiatives. Through IHUB-Divyasampark, we plan to develop highly modular and customizable solutions that support multiple simultaneous consultations, asset tracking, monitoring supply chains, data storage on servers & clouds, data security, rights and privileges based upon user roles, integration of legacy medical equipment in an IoMT framework, etc.

Smart Cities

We at Divyasampark IIT Roorkee will aim at making smart cities sustainable, with better quality of life (QoL), urbanization, and smartness. The sustainability of a smart city is related to city infrastructure and governance, energy and climate change, pollution and waste, and social issues, economics, and health. The quality of life (QoL) can be measured in terms of the emotional and financial well-being of the citizens. The urbanization aspects of the smart city include multiple aspects and indicators, such as technology, infrastructure, governance, and economics. The smartness of a smart city is conceptualized as the ambition to improve the economic, social, and environmental standards of the city and its inhabitants. Various commonly quoted aspects of city smartness include smart economy, smart people, smart governance, smart mobility, and smart living. The focus will be on smart infrastructure & building, smart transportation, and smart energy grids.

Industry 4.0

The Government of India has made several efforts in this direction at the policy level and has set up incentives for infrastructure development on a PPP (public-private partnership) model. Samarth Udyog Bharat 4.0 (Smart Advanced Manufacturing and Rapid Transformation Hubs: SUB 4.0) under the Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises is India’s initiative to push for Industry 4.0 implementation to propagate adoption of digital technology solutions by Indian industries [SD]. Other GoI programs like ‘Make in India,’ ‘Skill India,’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ are complementing SUB 4.0 capabilities in the last few decades. iHUB Divyasampark at IIT Roorkee will leverage Industry 4.0 solutions in association with the latest technologies like AI, IoT, cloud computing, AR, 3D printing, etc. to enhance the global competitiveness of MSMEs and will contribute to influencing sectors like manufacturing, supply chain management, construction, mining, shipping, etc. and will impact all the aspects of our day-to-day activities.

Defence

The Indian government's Department of Science and Technology is spearheading the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), allocating INR 3660 CR for five years. Within this initiative, 25 Technology Innovation Hubs (TIHs) have been established, including DivyaSampark iHUB Roorkee at IIT Roorkee, which specifically concentrates on defense-related technologies, materials, and foundation development as a part of the broader mission.
