College of South Australia researchers develop fibre sensors to remotely monitor sufferers
Scientists from the College of South Australia have developed tiny optical fibre sensors to remotely observe the positions of sufferers coping with painful strain sores in their beds.
“Every year, hundreds of older Australians in hospitals and nursing properties expertise strain accidents, or ulcers, which take a very long time to heal and might be deadly. On the very least, these accidents may cause extreme ache, disrupt sleep, have an effect on their temper, in addition to their rehabilitation, mobility and high quality of life,” mentioned Dr Stephen Warren-Smith, the lead researcher behind the brand new expertise.
The fibre sensors are hooked up to the higher floor of a mattress to observe motion and report coronary heart and respiratory charges.
By choosing up their respiration, the unobtrusive sensors can detect when a affected person turns over, leaves a mattress, or stays immobile. Nurses might be prompted if a affected person has not moved for hours so they might regulate their place.
Present strategies to observe sufferers coping with strain sores use weight-based sensors, which can’t predict when a affected person leaves the mattress till their toes contact the ground. Digicam-based applied sciences are additionally getting used, though privateness is a significant concern.
EpiAxis Therapeutics, Peptilogics accomplice for AI drug discovery
Australian drug developer EpiAxis Therapeutics and Peptilogics, a US-based biotechnology firm, will harness AI in drug discovery to inhibit epigenetic oncology targets.
Their venture will make use of Peptilogics’ AI platform Nautilus, along with EpiAxis’s experience in epigenetics, to advance drug discovery for cancers that escape current therapies via epigenetic change, together with metastatic breast most cancers.
“We’ll deal with lead optimisation utilizing Peptilogics’ Nautilus platform, which mixes proprietary deep generative fashions, predictive fashions, and biophysical simulation to design multiparameter-optimised peptides with [the] potential to handle traditionally difficult and novel drug targets,” mentioned Peptilogics CTO Nicholas Nystrom.
This partnership follows EpiAxis’s just lately concluded medical trial which for the primary time has used an epigenetic inhibitor alongside chemotherapy to deal with metastatic most cancers.
