Our brains in space: The next giant leap
Karla explores the challenges our brains experience in space and how mathematical modelling can help us understand and overcome these.
Case Study
Gastrointestinal Robotic Platform
A revolutionary gastrointestinal robotic platform – based around a Smart Pill – that can take samples from predetermined locations in the gastrointestinal tract. This technology has applications in R&D for drug delivery systems through active location analysis, diagnosis and sampling within the gastrointestinal tract and enabling gastrointestinal delivery of proteins and peptides.
Case Study
A novel wearable that saves lives
In an intense disaster or battlefield scenario, correctly identifying which victim to treat first can be a matter of life or death, so we created a specialised wearable monitor. The device won the prestigious ‘Best of the Best’ Red Dot award.
Case Study
Bringing breast cancer treatment into the physician’s office
We were asked to develop a new cryoablation technology in this crowded IP space. Our scientists and engineers started from first principles and were able to create a new patented system that enabled the office-based treatment of breast cancer.
Case Study
Micro-mechanics that increase dexterity
Catheter ablation is widely used to treat a range of abnormal heart rhythms. It involves passing a thin, flexible catheter through the blood vessels to the heart, where it pinpoints the arrhythmia and uses ablation to block the abnormal electrical signals. A more dexterous catheter increases success rates for patients and retains greater cardiac function.
