Construction and Landscape

In modern healthcare, remote patient monitoring is increasingly important, offering significant advantages in patient care and accessibility. Non-contact monitoring reduces the need for physical interaction, crucial during infectious disease outbreaks or in intensive care units. It also allows for discomfort-free monitoring, making it ideal for vulnerable populations like the elderly, infants, and critically ill patients. This technology is particularly valuable in settings where traditional contact-based methods are impractical, such as in telemedicine and home care. Additionally, it reduces the need for multiple devices to measure various bio-signals, streamlining processes and cutting costs. The technology utilises remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) to measure bio-signals without attaching any sensors. rPPG technology works by analyzing subtle changes in the light reflected from a person's skin, which are correlated with underlying physiological signals. By utilizing standard cameras and sophisticated signal processing algorithms, rPPG can accurately capture and interpret these bio-signals from a distance, offering a convenient and reliable alternative to conventional methods. This technology can measure pulse, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure as raw data and analyze it to measure stress index, drowsiness index. The technology owner is seeking collaborators in: Transportation Companies or Automotive Manufacturers: To enhance mobility services by integrating driver bio-signal and drowsiness monitoring, providing a safer and more innovative driving experience. Healthcare and Telemedicine Providers: To improve the quality of remote healthcare services through continuous biometric signal monitoring and non-face-to-face consultations, particularly for home care and telemedicine. Insurance Providers, Daycare Centers, and Health & Wellness/Fitness Apps: To expand current health and wellness offerings by incorporating bio-signal measurement technology into fitness apps, smart appliances.

Industries such as retail, transportation, worksites, and law enforcement increasingly demand robust safety and security solutions. Organizations managing multiple CCTV systems and vast video datasets need advanced video analytics for early threat detection, real-time monitoring, and informed decision-making. Cost-effective solutions that ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance are crucial. Without advanced analytics, organizations face challenges like slow manual reviews, limited real-time alerts, and delayed insights, which hinder timely incident detection and response. The intelligent video deep search and analytics solution addresses these issues by leveraging AI technologies such as deep learning, computer vision, and NLP. It enables real-time processing, quick text-based searches, and accurate detection of objects and behaviors. The code-free alert system allows for rapid deployment without technical expertise, enhancing surveillance capabilities, operational efficiency, and overall security.

As the earth gets warmer, the cooling of living and working spaces requires more energy. Governments are enacting standards for eco-friendly buildings in response to increasing concerns about rising energy use and carbon emissions. A novel “self-cooling” solution can help buildings and automobiles to cool down without heavily relying on air conditioning, leading to greater energy savings. The technology offer is a high-performance passive radiative cooling paint (PRCP) using emerging nanomaterial technology. Different from conventional paint, this cooling paint combines high solar reflectivity with high thermal emissivity. Hence, the paint can reflect incoming solar radiation and emit thermal radiation simultaneously, achieving effective cooling even under direct sunlight.  The technology owner is interested in R&D collaboration and test-bedding with commercial and residential building owners, property developers and construction companies. The technology is also available for out-licensing to paint developers and manufacturers.

High-risk industrial sectors, notably the chemical industry, frequently experience severe safety incidents during production. Traditional risk management approaches, heavily reliant on manual efforts, often suffer from inadequate supervision, incomplete coverage, and suboptimal control. Addressing these challenges, the tech provider offers an advanced solution combining artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics. By utilizing existing enterprise cameras and sophisticated algorithmic servers, it establishes a video-based intelligent analysis platform for hidden risk management. This platform enhances overall safety through comprehensive risk perception, proactive hazard identification, predictive warnings, and visual decision-making aids, aiming for widespread and intelligent safety management across high-risk industrial environments.

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is widely used for blast protection and structural reinforcement of concrete elements in buildings and infrastructure. However, conventional FRP solutions have limitations due to labour-intensive applications such as on-site preparation and resin mixing, inconsistent quality, long curing time, and low productivity. The technology is a glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) roll pre-saturated with a tacky resin system that can be easily applied to structural elements like “double-sided tape”. The resin-infused GFRP can fully cure in natural light within a few hours, strengthening the structure with only a marginal increase in wall thickness. A fire-retarding version of GFRP is also available. The GFRP solution is fast and efficient with minimal on-site tools and less dependent on workmanship skills. The technology is available for IP licensing and collaboration with industrial partners who are interested in adopting the fast-curing GFRP technology in their products and applications.
