The Department of Technology (DBT) has awarded Dr. Chaturvedi the Biotech Ignition Grant (BIG - round four) worth 43 lakh INR for the development of Noxeno.[1] This device is currently being developed further by Innaccel, a medtech accelerator based out of Bangalore.[11] Another invention called parasafe, a low cost kit that enables safer abdominal paracentesis, co-invented by Dr. Jagdish Chaturvedi during the fellowship is now being developed further by an Indigenous disposable devices manufacturing company called Mecmaan Healthcare Private Limited based out of New Delhi. This company is also developing two other devices Thorashield (safer pleural tapping device and Accufeed (accurate nasogastric tube insertion device) also co-invented by Dr. Chaturvedi during his involvement with the Stanford India Biodesign Internship program as a faculty inventor.[12] Dr. chaturvedi has also co-invented (along with 7 other co-inventors) a low cost portable mechanical CPAP device that is designed to prevent lung collapse in babies with respiratory distress while they are being transported from one hospital to the other.
