Luxid’s approach allows hospitals to create customised three-dimensional visual modules for individual procedures. Patients wearing the glasses can view anatomical structures and different stages of a planned treatment from multiple perspectives, giving them a more visual understanding of what will happen during surgery.
Modern nutrition arrives at a similar broad principle from a different direction. The eyes require adequate vitamin A, carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants and an overall diet that helps maintain vascular and metabolic health. The National Eye Institute recommends a balanced diet rich in dark leafy vegetables and other nutrient-dense foods as one part of protecting long-term vision.
From its research base in Bengaluru, Bugworks Research is attempting something considerably harder than producing another version of an existing antibiotic. The company is developing an entirely new class of broad-spectrum antibacterial compounds designed to attack drug-resistant bacteria through a different mechanism.
Bengaluru-based Achira Labs is developing an Indian alternative built around microfluidics: shrinking several laboratory processes into small disposable cartridges that can operate with compact analysers close to the patient.
Modern nutrition also supports several of these principles. The brain needs a continuous supply of energy, adequate protein, healthy fats, micronutrients and fluids. The most useful diet for concentration is therefore not based on one “brain food,” but on meals that support stable energy and overall health.
For root-canal treatment, researchers from IISc and Theranautilus developed tiny helical robots made from silicon dioxide and coated with iron. An externally generated magnetic field can guide the robots through dentinal tubules, microscopic passages inside the tooth where bacteria can remain after conventional treatment.
The most useful Ayurvedic approach to everyday low mood is therefore not to search for a food that produces instant happiness. It is to create conditions in which the nervous system can function more steadily: regular meals, adequate protein and micronutrients, comfortable digestion, sufficient sleep, physical activity and a daily routine that reduces repeated cycles of exhaustion and overstimulation.
Bhubaneswar-based startup Serendipity Space is developing reusable satellites designed to carry pharmaceutical compounds into Low Earth Orbit, process them under microgravity conditions and return the resulting material safely to Earth. At the centre of the programme is Alchemy, an autonomous pharmaceutical-processing module intended to function as a miniature factory in space.
The collaboration combines engineering and machine-learning expertise from IIT Madras with clinical knowledge from CMC Vellore and addresses one of the most difficult problems in kidney care: many kidney disorders can progress for a considerable period before producing obvious symptoms.
Ayurveda approaches tiredness through broader ideas such as Bala, meaning strength, Ojas, traditionally associated with vitality and resilience, and Agni, the body’s capacity to digest and assimilate food. Rather than depending on one stimulating ingredient, an Ayurvedic approach generally favours regular nourishment, adequate rest, digestible meals and foods that gradually rebuild strength. This philosophy can work well alongside modern nutrition, provided that persistent fatigue is investigated when necessary.
