Urine test strips are common in-vitro diagnostic tools in the determination of a patient's metabolic and pathophysiological changes from their urine. Commercial urine test strips have multiple different chemical pads which react and change colour upon immersion into a urine sample. Each characteristic colour and its intensity are approximately prop

This technology is related to supersensitive iontronic electronic skin material. Specifically, the technology is related to supersensitive iontronic electronic skin material with implanted artificial tactile cells, which can control effective ion concentration and change capacitance based on physical changes followed by the implementation of hydrog

Endoscopes are electro-optical instruments used to visualize the internal cavities of the human body. For the upper digestive tract, specialized endoscopes used in visualisation are known as esophagoscopes whilst the routine examination is known as esophagoscopy. One of the methods of esophagoscopy is using capsule endoscopy where images of the gas

Medical stents are commonly used in the treatment of arterial diseases. They are routinely placed into narrowed arteries where the blood flow is constricted to act as a supporting scaffold to keep the arteries open. The delivery of stents into the human body is mostly dependent on the skills and experiences of the medical doctors. This is primarily

A university spin-off has developed a patented laser-based approach for patterning of porous substrates within a lateral-flow test for medical diagnostics applications. By careful control of the patterning process parameters such as writing speeds and laser power, flow control mechanisms can be introduced to produce a multichannel lateral flow test

Non-invasive, continuous and accurate health monitoring is a must, to detect early symptoms and prevent possible disasters, and to personalize the healthcare while dramatically reducing ever growing healthcare cost. The optical spectrometer, widely used in various industries, can do such non-invasive and accurate measurement. For example, blood glu

This is a medical device, a syringe, which solves the problem of the danger of infecting patients and health care workers with diseases that can be transmitted by injecting with an already used needle. With this new syringe model, you can apply the drug quickly while protecting yourself. It is intended for single use only. The dosage is much easier

Abnormalities in blood pressure are often an indicator of illnesses. The current gold standard for blood pressure measurement is through the use of a cuffed sphygmomanometer. Such traditional cuff systems for blood pressure measurements have many disadvantages. Not only are they uncomfortable, they also do not allow for continuous blood pressure me

Metallization is an integral part of a modern electronic device. Every electronic device has metal electrodes in it. Foldable devices, OLED, sensors, solar cells, touchscreens, wearables and energy storage need new materials and technologies for making flexible metal electrodes. This new metallization technology is suitable for functional metallic

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur most frequently in sports knee injuries, and most injured patients are indicated for ACL reconstruction. Standard treatment of ACL reconstruction uses the autologous knee flexor tendon as a graft for reconstruction, but it is often difficult to obtain adequate grafts from women and short patients. Bes

A Virtual Pharmacy of research-backed virtual reality (VR) applications: including Stress/Burnout Management through relaxation, mindfulness and meditation. We also have a Social Phobia/Fear of Public Speaking application that is based on years of iCBT research. Challenges we're solving: For professionals (B2B) Lack of sufficient mental health pers

This technology is an integrated manufacturing solution to produce plant-based biodegradable beads to replace plastic microbeads. Every year, more than 250,000 tons of plastic microbeads end up in our oceans. These plastic microbeads are used as abrasives in detergents, exfoliants in cosmetics, binders in paints and coatings, additives in lubricant

A wireless sensing (WISE) platform has been successfully developed for real-time, continuous monitoring of post-surgical complications like bleeding, infection, compromise in suture integrity etc., even before the symptoms of the complications appear. The platform consists of implantable WISE tags that can be clipped on like a 'pick-and-place senso

Our researchers have developed a 'Digital Foam' material that recognizes and responds to touch. The foam material is highly flexible and can accurately detect multiple simultaneous deformations in its surface. Several applications for Digital Foam are anticipated, from an augmented reality controller and home entertainment games controllers, to med

The present invention relates to a device that is designed to assist with upper limb rehabilitation, and allows the clinician to diagnose and make objective assessment on the rehabilitation progress. The device utilizes biofeedback and intelligent controls to help patients undergo muscle stretching for 1) active-assisted therapy to strengthen the u

A Singapore healthcare technology startup is offering an integrated bioinformatics platform solution specialising in oncology, pharmacogenomics (PGx) and infectious diseases to facilitate higher clinical and research precision. Integrating a manually curated clinical-genomics knowledge database, real-world datasets, advanced machine learning analys

Current treadmills both for exercise and rehabilitation use pre-programmed speed control. During the course of exercise, the speed remains constant but would change at pre-programmed times, or when manually directed. Thus treadmills do not match exercise regimes to the subject's behaviour, but instead rigidly forces the subject to continue the exer

Fundus photography is one of the imaging techniques commonly adopted in eye clinics for the diagnosis of main eye diseases that ultimately leads to blindness, Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Glaucoma. However, manual assessment of fundus images is time-consuming and subjective. Frequent eye screening of the eld
