The final date for submitting proposals for this program is April 30, 2026.

This program is open to startups, registered companies, research institutions, and academic teams. Applicants must be working on medical devices, health technology, or AI-driven clinical tools and must propose a solution that directly addresses one of the four specific problem statements outlined by Siemens Healthineers.

The program seeks solutions for four challenges: wireless ECG monitoring to prevent C-arm interference, predictive navigation tools for C-arm repositioning, connected area radiation monitors for X-ray rooms, and autonomous ultrasound systems for automated processes.

The program details do not specify any requirement for DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) recognition or MSME (Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) registration.

No, this program provides a grant, which is a form of non-dilutive funding. This means that IHFC, ARTPARK, or Siemens Healthineers will not take an equity stake in your company as a condition of receiving the funding.

Beyond the grant, selected teams gain access to IHFC's Medical Cobotics Centre at IIT Delhi, ARTPARK's R&D infrastructure at IISc, and a direct validation pathway through Siemens Healthineers. This support aids in productization and commercialization to global clinical standards, with an emphasis on domestic manufacturing.

Applications must be submitted online through the IHFC Accubate portal. The specific URL for application is https://ihfc.accubate.app/ext/form/20720/1/apply.
