Ultrasound Device

Thursday, 7 November 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.

Vein Viewer

The patented 3D Vein Viewer Locator technology excels in visualizing small veins beneath thick subcutaneous fat layers, particularly in 6-10-month-old and premature babies, dark-skinned, kidney, cancer, and burn scald patients. It aids difficult venous access (DIVA) cases, minimizing failed insertions and complications by 30%. With a design based on familiar insertion postures, its one-time success rate surpasses competitors by 13%, reaching an impressive 94%. The nurse-exclusive screen reduces medical stress and disputes.

Nanosensors Inside Plants

Sunday, 3 November 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.
