The winning team of Soham Mahajan, Harpreet B Arora, Dhaanya Anand, and Nandini Singh, presented an innovative 3D functional heart model titled Project Manav Hridayantra. The three-stage working model effectively demonstrated the cardiac cycle, making complex physiological processes easier to understand through real-time simulation using syringes, valves, and a motorized system.
The project was developed under the mentorship of Dr. Satish Deopujari, Consultant Paediatrician and Adjunct Faculty in Physiology, along with guidance from Dr. Shubhada Gade, Head of the Department of Physiology, and support from all departmental faculties. The model was specifically designed to make cardiac physiology more interactive and accessible to learners, moving beyond the limitations of textbook-based learning.
The effort and execution of the students were highly appreciated by Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Madhuri Kanetkar, Vice Chancellor of MUHS, who lauded their creativity, conceptual clarity, and technical skill.
Dr. Ujwal Gajbe, Dean of DMMC, congratulated the students and faculty, stating, “This achievement reflects our commitment to fostering innovation and deep understanding in medical education right from the foundational years.”
