An indigenously developed “affordable” faecal incontinence management system ‘Qora’, a spin-off of a programme of the Department of Biotechnology and implemented at AIIMS and IIT Delhi, was launched here on Friday by Minister of State for Science & Technology, Y.S. Chowdary.
The international partners of the programme are Stanford University, US, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and Tottori University, Japan, an official release said.
The technology for the medical device was developed by Consure Medical, New Delhi, to address “a new level of care for patients outside the ICU”, said an official release, adding that the product has been clinically validated at AIIMS, New Delhi.
Faecal incontinence is a medical condition marked by inability to control one’s bowel movements, causing stools (faeces) to leak unexpectedly from the rectum. It affects nearly 100 million bed-ridden patients worldwide.
