Projects

• Reliable Operating Theatre

  Tracking staff and patients in the operating theatres, to ensure surgeries start on time. This project uses low-engergy beacons handed out to staff and patients.

   

• Smart Pillbox

  Developing a pillbox that uses spectroscopy to identify which pills are placed on it. This project aims to reduce medication errors.

   

• Prosthesis Fitting and Fabrication

  Innovating the process of prosthesis fabrication using 3D scanning and printing technologies to reduce fabrication time and costs, and enhance patient care.

   

• Smart IV Line

  Development of 3D-printed clamp for IV lines. Using spectroscopy, it verifies in real-time the liquids inside the IV line. This project aims to reduce medication errors.

   

• Handwash Monitoring

  Developing sensing technologies that can monitor how well people wash their hands, and whether they wash their hands at the right time.

   

• Augmented Surgery

  Using augmented reality to improve the experience of surgeons during operations, and particularly to enhance the education of trainee surgeons.

   

• Predicting Emergency Admissions

  Improving our ability to predict how many people visit a hospital’s Emergency Department, based on contextual and environmental factors.

   

• Smartphones for Science

  Developing smartphone software to monitor patients’ behaviour and lifestyle in and out of the hospital.

   

• Proactive smart speakers

  Developing proactive smart speakers for chronic disease management.
