Project FingerReader aims to create an assistive device that substantially changes how people with visual impairments can independently access information on the go. Years of our engagement with blind users and caretakers have revealed difficulties with existing state-of-the-art technology such as accuracy, efficiency, cost, and more importantly social acceptability. Finger Reader addresses these challenges through a discreet and reliable finger-worn accessory together with a headset, that allows users to simply point at objects and hear the information about the them spoken to him or her through a headset.

SoundEye ARK is a sensor that uses sound to save lives. It employs technology that was previously used for gun shot and explosion sound detection. SoundEye ARK is capable of recognizing abnormal sound events such as screaming and crying out loud. Seniors just need to scream for 1-2 seconds and caregivers will receive alert through their mobile app. SoundEye ARK also comes with other features such as motion sensor, camera for live video feed and 2-way voice intercom. It removes the need of wearing panic button and its response is much faster than a conventional motion sensor.

KINEXCS builds monitoring solutions that enhance rehabilitation for patients who have gone through lower limb surgeries, such as a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) or an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery. Kinexcs provides an “on-the- go” wearable device paired with a mobile application to remotely monitor, track and analyse the patient’s condition during post-operative rehabilitation. This device will empower clinicians who can use it to remotely monitor the patient’s condition and administer therapy. It will also solve the problem of non-compliance to prescribed exercise regimes on the part of the patients, as well as reduce the costs and burden on the healthcare providers.

Flexosense enables smart rehabilitation of the elderly with physical and mobility impairments. Flexosense offers personalized insoles with sensors that provide podiatrists with precise, dynamic data about the foot soles. These data raise red-flags to podiatrists who can focus on critical cases. Patients can see their pain which they cannot feel due to loss of sensation in their feet. It is a cue for them to rest before ulcers recur or develop.

Pillpresso’s mission is to improve medication adherence and ease the medication management process for patients, caregivers and clinicians.

It is a personal, home-based medication device that will automatically remind the user to take his medicine and reduce the time needed for sorting by more than 85%. When adherence is poor, the patient’s caregiver and clinician will be notified in real-time, so as to enable early intervention before the patient’s condition worsens. By training patients to manage their medicines independently and improving their adherence, it eases the burden on nursing manpower and reduces re-hospitalisation rates.
