Design and Development of Bike Ambulance
Our Students, Yeshwanth Subramanyam and S. EjazAhamed of II B. Tech Mechanical Engineering have developed a safe bike ambulance, “Heal-Mobile,” with the help of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab of Dassault Systèmes, Pune. With the guidance of the Dassault Systemes representative Mr.Suhaspritipal, they developed a prototype Bike Ambulance in GATES IDEA LAB. After doing trails and enhancements, they have finalized the model of “Bike Ambulance”. This Bike ambulance is fitted with Patient Monitoring System and Oxygen Cylinder, Stretcher and Wheelchair are also available. The bike ambulance’s structure was developed using CATIA part design, CATIA assembly design, generative shape and wireframe, and live rendering studio applications powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. In case of emergency, these bike ambulances can safely carry one patient along with a medical worker as a rider to tackle any urgent medical situation to nearby primary and Community Health Centers (CHCs) from remote villages.
