One Simulation: Powering Atma Nirbhar Bharat with India’s First Radiation-Free CT Simulator
In India’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, one startup is quietly rewriting the rules of medical education and training. One Simulation, headquartered in Noida, is emerging as a pioneer in high-fidelity simulation technologies. Founded with a vision to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application, the company is leading the charge with SIMTOM — India’s first radiation-free CT simulator.
The innovation made its grand debut at the UP International Trade Show in Noida, drawing the attention of educators, healthcare professionals, and technology enthusiasts from across the country. For Ankur Srivastava, the driving force behind One Simulation, this moment was more than just a product showcase—it was a statement of belief.
Breaking Stereotypes with Atmanirbhar Bharat
“India has always been rich in talent, from technology to art and culture. Yet the world often doubted our ability to build high-quality medical simulators,” says Ankur. “This belief became our inspiration. We wanted to prove that Indian innovation can not only match global standards but surpass them.”
The SIMTOM CT Simulator is designed to replicate the complete functionality of a traditional CT scanning system—without radiation risks. From patient positioning and protocol selection to image reconstruction and clinical evaluation, students can practice every stage of a scan in a fully simulated, interactive environment. This makes training safer, more sustainable, and highly cost-effective for institutions.
More importantly, SIMTOM aligns with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, showcasing how indigenous innovation can empower India’s healthcare education sector.
Struggles That Built Strength
The journey to building a radiation-free CT simulator was anything but smooth. The team had no easy access to international reference models and had to innovate from scratch. Technical challenges loomed large—how to replicate CT protocols without radiation, how to ensure realism in learning, and how to integrate disease-specific scenarios for students.
Funding constraints and limited access to high-fidelity materials and sensors in India pushed the team further. “Every prototype failure taught us something,” recalls Ankur. “We faced skepticism from educational institutions too. People asked: ‘How can a simulator replace a real CT machine?’ But persistence, patience, and proof won them over.”
Achievements and Milestones
Despite these challenges, One Simulation achieved a landmark success by deploying its first simulator at Centurion University, Bhubaneswar. This milestone was not just a commercial success but a validation of years of hard work and resilience.
Beyond CT, One Simulation has expanded into other critical areas. The company now offers ultrasound-guided biopsy simulators and fetal intervention simulators, further strengthening its portfolio of advanced training solutions. To ensure maximum impact, the team also conducts hands-on workshops for doctors, combining innovation with practical training.
Motivation and Future Goals
“Our motivation has always been to challenge the myth that high-fidelity simulators must come from outside India,” Ankur emphasizes. “Our goal is bold—to position India as a global leader in medical simulation technology.”
The launch of SIMTOM is a testament to this mission. By providing safe, scalable, and cost-effective solutions, One Simulation is not just innovating products—it is transforming healthcare education for future generations of doctors and radiologists.
The Road Ahead
Looking ahead, One Simulation aims to scale its simulators across universities, teaching hospitals, and medical institutes in India and abroad. By continually innovating in allied healthcare education, the company hopes to build a global footprint while keeping its roots firmly aligned with the spirit of self-reliance and indigenous excellence.
As India embraces digital transformation in healthcare and education, startups like One Simulation are lighting the path forward—proving that Indian innovation is not just capable of competing globally, but of leading the way.
