Hi-tech diabetes aid will send alert text in an emergency
CNH Electronics Event 21st September 2011
Scientists at Centre for Nanohealth working in collaboration with Porvair Filtration have redeveloped High-density polyethelene (HDPE) for use in biochemical applications such as DNA analysis.
One of the biggest challenges facing the future of healthcare is enhancing early intervention in diagnosing and treating diseases in non-hospital environments; in the home, community clinic or local doctors’ surgery. Current medical practice is based around relatively late intervention, which with many diseases does not result in complete cure, but rather extends a patient’s life whilst, hopefully, maintaining quality of life. The key to early intervention is the earliest possible detection of disease, and the swift identification of appropriate medical or surgical treatments.
The Centre for NanoHealth (CNH) will be located within a Clinical and Biomedical research environment on Swansea’s Singleton hospital site, giving access to patients and creating a pioneering, integrated facility in which novel devices and sensors can be designed, manufactured, functionalised, tested and evaluated.
The Centre for NanoHealth is a unique interdisciplinary reseach centre based on the application of Nanotechnology leading innovations in Healthcare. Click here to find out more about the concept
The Centre has developed a fully integrated work flow and companies or interested parties can engage with us at any step from concept and design through to scale-up and commercialisation. If you would like to register to work with us, please submit your details here
The Centre for NanoHealth is actively engaged with R&D projects in collaboration with small businesses, other higher education establishments, international corporations and the NHS trust. To see the current portfolio of R&D areas please click here
The Centre will be equipped with state of the art facilities through a 2 phase implementation plan. Click here to see the timeline and associated facility capabilities
The Centre will take basic research from within the MNC and ILS and translate this through research and development, demonstration and deployment. Again, any partners interested in collaboration can join with us at any stage. Click here for further details
