C-DAC launches three new products

Pune, Mar 28 (UNI) Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) director general S Ramakrishnan has announced the launch of three new products -- ''Mercury Web Interface'', ''Prakriti Vichaya'', and ''Real Time Technology for Atmospheric Research'' on the eve of its 19th foundation day on March 30.

Mercury Web Interface is an ''add on'' web-based access system for C-DAC's Integrated Telemedicine Solution Mercury, while Prakriti Vichaya is a first-of-its-kind ayurveda-based software solution for evaluating the unique ''Prakriti'' of an individual. Real Time Technology for Atmospheric Research is a a portable and web-based software for regional simulations of the atmosphere, a C-DAC release here today said.

Mercury Web Interface is a hybrid telemedicine system, offering a suite of tools for enabling sustainable telemedicine programs across geographies. It has been designed to provide web-based tele-consultation models that can function over the Internet.

The Real Time Technology for Atmospheric Research is a fully automated, flexible, portable, web-based software developed for regional simulations of the atmosphere. It can be used for understanding the condition of the atmosphere over the region as small as one square kilometre, the release said, adding the information can be disseminated through the Internet in real time.

Prakriti plays an important role in the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases. Prakriti assessment is part of a ten-point evaluation system of an individual and it helps the physician in advising him proper diet and lifestyle to maintain the optimum state of health. It is also important for diagnosis and selection of drugs for specific treatment. The Prakriti Vichaya software system is the first software solution for Psychological Constitution Assessment and Tissue Quality Assessment in Ayurveda.
