Non-Invasive Alternative for Newborn Screening
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Aleah Eskin
Newborn babies in the neonatal intensive care unit need blood taken from the heel to detect a number of serious diseases. Our non-invasive, continuous monitoring device reveals detrimental fluctuations in the patient’s vitals, allowing us to eliminate the need for invasive newborn testing altogether. The introduction of this technology to the healthcare industry would improve hospital efficiency and most importantly, reduce the negative physical and psychological implications on families while their newborn is in intensive care.
Superhydrophobic Haemostatic Devices
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Daniel Spragg
Bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after traumatic injury. We are developing advanced wound dressings incorporating a superhydrophobic haemostatic material to control bleeding. Our technology accelerates clotting while also mitigating wound adhesion and secondary bleeding. We are initially targeting medical professionals in prehospital and emergency care settings in the United States.
New Diagnostic for Multiple Sclerosis
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Erica Tapia
Our diagnostic device draws conclusions based on the blood sample's physicochemical properties by using spectroscopy and pattern recognition. It will be easily integrated into doctors' offices and hospitals, drastically reducing the time to diagnose multiple sclerosis.
Protein-based Bioadhesives as Therapeutic Delivery Patches

Smart Wristbands to Detect Hand Gestures in Virtual Reality
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Jacques Blagburn
Our team is building smart wristbands to detect hand gestures in virtual reality, enabling users to interact naturally with their surroundings. Our device will make VR/AR games more immersive and unlock new applications in healthcare, education and defense.
Lactate in Breath
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Mikail Atkas
Our device is a handheld breath analyser that is capable of measuring lactate levels. Our objective is to utilise this device as a pre-hospital point-of-care diagnostic tool for stratifying sepsis severity, enabling early intervention while potentially saving lives and resources.
Aptamer Based Growth Factor Delivery for Nonunion Fractures
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Shani Katz
About 100,000 fractures will become nonunion in the United States each year, affecting people of all ages and severely limiting their ability work. Our technology uses a patented technology to deliver growth factors to the region while minimizing the spread to other areas.
A Cure for Scleroderma
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Sharon Lau
Our pharmaceutical treatment hinders collagen overproduction in scleroderma by targeting a small molecule within the disease pathway. It is the first targeted treatment to restore immune system balance in scleroderma patients.
Brain Computer Interface Delivered with Microrobots
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Shujhat Khan
We have developed wireless, miniaturised, MRI-safe sensors known as brain computer interfaces that are able to pick up electrical signals from precise regions in the brain and bypass neurological injury. Our technology has the potential to treat a wide range of neurological conditions and restore motor and sensory functions. The initial aim of our technology is to help patients with paralysis so they may regain their independence.
Infection Detecting Sternal Wires
MRes MDDE Elevator Pitch 2022-23 - Tuvana Baktiroglu
In open heart surgeries, surgeons cut the patient’s chest (sternal) bone to reach the heart and sew it with sternal wires at the end of the surgery. Sternal infection is a post-operative complication that is complex to treat, mainly because it is diagnosed late. Our technology allows early detection of infections through embedded sensors in sternal wires, allowing quick medical intervention.
