Research at IIITH have been developing an electrode-based system to simplify the diagnosis of sleep disorders. The mask, resembling a regular eye mask, promises an 80% accuracy rate by monitoring eye movement. It aims to overcome the discomfort and limitations of traditional polysomnogram tests. A prototype is expected within a year for further testing. At present, sleep disorders are diagnosed using polysomnogram. This test requires patients to be connected to multiple wire that monitor parameters like eye and leg movement, oxygen level, heart rate, breathing pattern, and brain waves during sleep.

The Indian National Team set off for Barzil to participate in the International Olympiad of Linguistics (IOL). While speaking to ANI, Manish Shrivastava, an assistant professor at IIIT Hyderabad said, IOL is a two-decade-old olympiad, one of the newer ones, which focuses on puzzles coming out of languages all across the world, and these are based on linguistic phenomena that are required to deeply understand language. Participants from all over the world from their school times, come there to participate in teams of four. We are sending two teams of four students each coming from all across India”.
