Current Projects

  • Physiological Data Measurement

We have developed systems for measuring oesophageal manometry using a water perfused and a solid state system, and biliary manometry using a solid state device, which are in routine clinical use, and a "Posilogger" - a small device which can record the position (prone, supine, left, right) of a recumbent patient for up to 2 months.

  • Bioimpedance

We are studying the use of bioimpedance spectroscopy in assessing liver and other diseases with data acquisition using our own PIC powered data logger.

  • Gastrointestinal Motility

We are developing a technique for assessing whole gut motility.

  • 3-D Microscope stage controller

We are developing a 3-D microscope stage controller with position memory and rate controlled (3-D) tracking

We would welcome requests to develop any new project in the area of small volume, bespoke biomedical devices, especially in relation to physiological measurement and Medical Electronics: "Anything Considered".
