Ultrasound Device

Saturday, 6 July 2024

Zino

Zino is a compact, professional-grade, and low-cost ultrasound. The height adjustment mechanism on the control panel was removed to save costs, and the trolley was modified to compensate and make it more useable for a wider range of users. The device can be used continuously due to the air circulation. The design team also aimed to add value through aesthetic innovation. The probe's transducers were moved to the back, making it easier to manage and giving it a neater look. While the zino aesthetic design is distinctive among other products, it follows the principle of form following function.

k-haler

k-haler is a new inhaler that has been designed to make patient use simple and easy. It is a breath-activated device that requires lower inhalation force to trigger than most other similar inhalers. This also eliminates the need for asthma patients to coordinate their breathing and button pushing. The technology within the k-haler is potentially suitable for a range of inhaled products. Its modern, user friendly, compact and simple design, combined with clever engineering, means k-haler is a truly world class device.

Nanosensors Inside Plants

Thursday, 4 July 2024

Argus

Argus is a living plant with nano sensors inside its leaves that continuously monitor water for heavy metal impurities. Nanometer scale chemical-based sensors are injected inside the leaves through pressure injection. These sensors produce a visible glow on the leaf of a plant. Argus, a bio-hybrid plant, naturally samples water in the environment and any impurities that come along with it. When lead impurities from the environment come in contact with these sensors, the florescence is quenched to indicate that there are impurities in the environment.

Kidney Assist Transporter

The main purpose of the project was to develop a system that offers oxygenated machine perfusion at all different timepoints in the organ donation pathway: during preconditioning, preservation and reconditioning. The design challenge was to make the product suitable for all these different situations. Sturdy and safe during transport. Logical and intuitive during installation and operation. Sterile. Sustainable. Special attention was paid to the design of the user experience, delivering feedback during the perfusion process. The iconic visual appearance ensures professional brand recognition.

Knee Replacement Surgery

Tuesday, 2 July 2024

Robot

The robot system can automatically locate the osteotomy and avoid the injury to the medullary cavity, soft tissue and bone tissue that may be caused by using intramedullary positioning tools in traditional surgery. Patients with less bleeding, less trauma, postoperative knee function recovery will be faster. At the same time, the robot is combined with the unique internal axis knee prosthesis, force line inaccuracy and joint dislocation caused by the technical problems of conventional surgery.
