Fresh ideas: From food safety innovation to lung cancer solutions

At Taiwan’s National Central University, researchers are working on a revolutionary IoT device to detect food allergen. The researchers believe they can harness high pre-concentrations of nano magnetic beads which uses an advanced material coating to keep pace and watch the progress of the allergen. In trials, simple non-specific absorption problems can be detected before they occur. Faster detection of environmental hormones, pesticides, and food sources using DNA gives doctors a fighting chance at discovering symptoms.

National Tsing Hua University will be showing a diagnostic device for monitoring abnormal endometrial tissue growth. In tests, the device significantly detects whether VEGF and IL-6 levels are too high. Women can now self-monitor physiological diseases or abnormal bleeding. The device can simultaneously screen for VEGF and IL-6 when a woman has vaginal discharges and is one of the first innovations where women can do this in the comfort of their own homes.

At the National Chiao Tung University, medical researchers have devised a comfortable lung-on-a-chip to monitor air pollution health levels. The system creates an alternative method in animal research to generate a more accurate and reliable solution for preclinical experimental data. Such advancements to evaluate fine aerosols and produce a platform for a complete air-pollution health evaluation model will bring countless advancements and better peoples lives.
