Stomach disorders have remained among the most impenetrable areas for medical diagnostics. Medtech start-up Alimetry aims to improve the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases with their non-invasive Gastric Alimetry™ solution.

Singapore company NousQ has created a robotic, automated, sensor-controlled, handheld applicator called CLiXX® that promises to revolutionize ventilation ear tube surgery for children.

SharpArrow Medical is an innovator and developer of laser-based medical devices and equipment and is one of a cohort of innovative companies being mentored by CC as part of MedTech Innovator Asia Pacific. Here we highlight why SharpArrow was shortlisted for MedTech Innovator Asia Pacific.

Multiple industries are increasingly frustrated by the prohibitive cost and excessive timeframes of obtaining real-world data for autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Using simulated environments - specifically mmWave radar simulation - to train machine learning models slashes the need for real-world data collection and provides a platform for rare use cases. This innovation briefing further explores the potential of mmWave radar simulation to reduce autonomous machine costs and enable greater levels of autonomy.

We're ramping up our commitment to The Engine, the ambitious venture capital firm spun out of MIT to support ‘Tough Tech’ companies and solve key challenges in climate change, human health and advanced systems.

The ability to count and track individual units of light can have an exciting range of applications across medtech and beyond, as a recent collaboration with Cambridge University has proved. Principal electronics engineer Oliver Hicks explains more…

The tangible sense of joy in being able to interact with people face-to-face at last week’s World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit soon switched to a business-like determination to confront the big issues of the day.  I had plenty of lively discussions about forward strategies as the industry comes to grips with the challenges – and vast opportunities – of doing the right thing for both business and the planet.

Simulation is only as good as its approximation to the real world… its ‘equivalence’ in technical terms. We’ve been looking at how using intelligent simulation with a modular framework can deliver results faster to drive autonomous system development forward. 

The world is about to experience significant progress in AI-enabled autonomous mobile systems. Could autonomous mobile robots navigating dynamic environments open up new automation opportunities for industry?

The rate of innovation and adoption of automation & autonomous systems in non-manufacturing segments is growing faster and investments are pouring in. AMR’s (Automated Mobile Robots) are working alongside people in warehouses and helping in improving productivity. But, is this enough?

With the Cop26 summit in Glasgow providing a noisy, politically charged backdrop via the mainstream media, there was a real sense of relevance and urgency in the air as I contributed to last week’s virtual REAP Conference, organised by Agri-TechE.

The extraordinary potential of what we might term empathic technology promises rich human/machine relationships that are almost unimaginable.
