Tehran (IP) - An Iranian researcher has been awarded a gold medal and a special prize at the International Invention Fair in Croatia for inventing a device that monitors and tracks kidney stones.

 

Why It Matters: This invention not only enhances the quality of life for patients suffering from kidney stones but also showcases Iran's scientific capabilities and innovative technologies.

Kidney stones are a common issue within the urinary system that can lead to serious health complications. Traditional methods for diagnosing and treating this condition are often time-consuming and costly.

Key Points:

  • Dr. Amirhossein Khalili, an Iranian researcher and inventor, received the gold medal and special prize for his invention of the "Kidney Stone Monitoring and Tracking Device."
  • According to the inventor, this smart device offers a revolutionary solution for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney stones.
  • The device utilizes advanced imaging systems and AI-based algorithms to capture highly accurate images of the kidneys and urinary tract, precisely identifying the type, size, and location of the stones. It then recommends the most suitable treatment method based on the patient's medical history.

Go Deeper: This invention has the potential to reduce treatment costs and waiting times for patients. Iran could emerge as an innovation hub in the medical field, exporting its technologies to other countries.
