Accessible Chair Yoga CIC

Project: We have been able to offer our services with success on a small scale and are keen to extend our offerings to benefit more people. Currently our key business challenge is developing a financial forecasting model for bringing yoga into the care home market that is viable, scalable, and sustainable. The care home market is highly fragmented and under-resourced in terms of funding and staff, so creativity in coming up with potential solutions is vital. We would like to use this financial forecasting model to help us evaluate different options, which will allow us to plan and set priorities for the best way(s) forward in the short, medium, and long terms.

Create a financial forecasting model for one year, five years, and ten years that looks at: various scenarios for delivering our services, potential funding sources, projected costs and budgets, and resource allocation

We are dedicated to improving quality of life through yoga and making it accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or limiting health condition. We provide chair yoga as a safe form of exercise, we train teachers to teach this specialist yoga, and we sponsor research into yoga’s effectiveness in the social care sector.

 

Our mission is to bring yoga into every care home in the UK (and beyond). Through pilot studies and research, we have shown that yoga improves health and wellness for care home residents, and our passion is to bring the wonderful benefits of yoga - purposeful breathing and movement, drug-free stress management, and mindful meditation - to some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

 

Our high quality training is known worldwide as the premier chair yoga teacher training, and we work closely with its American creator, Lakshmi Voelker – we are co-authoring a book on chair yoga to be published by Shambhala Press in 2023. We also work in partnership with The Minded Institute, the premier yoga therapy training in the UK and Europe, to promote chair and accessible yoga to yoga teachers, healthcare professionals, and others.

Rugby Books for Kids

Project: Rugby Books for Kids is a new startup run by Kurt Won, who is a rugby player and rugby coach for Under 7 children. The mission of Rugby Books for Kids is to inspire more children around the world to play in rugby and to get them to experience the spirit of Rugby Union. We self-published

fun illustrated rugby books that include illustrations, rhyming verses and terms specific to rugby union. The first book published is called My First Rugby Book, for children Under 7 years old. A second book is being worked on for children under 11 years old with a plan to publish a series of rugby stories too in the pipeline. Rugby is an amazing game that prides itself on being respectful and making friends irrespective of your loyalty to a team. Our problem in rugby is that we compete with so many different sports for the attention and participation of children and also there isn’t much educational material for parents to teach their children about rugby. Hence why I created and illustrated My First Rugby Book.

Project objectives and potential outcomes

 

1. Devise 3 options for a suitable logo that matches our brand values.

2. Research best SEO terms for US and UK markets to attract rugby loving parents or parents whose children want to start playing rugby

3. Develop a 60 second video ad that can be used on Instagram and Facebook

4.Create a 60 second video introducing the creator & the book to parents for use on website

 

 

 

 

 

While everyone loves the name My First Rugby Book, and finds Rugby Books 4 Kids as an appropriate name for the business, I have struggled with how to brand Rugby Books 4 Kids visually across platforms, in terms of a logo, banners etc. I need to rework my website too to make it more effective commercially.

2 Main strategies need to be thought of:

1. Strategy to attract parents / adults to buy the books for children on Amazon and my website

2. Strategy to attract local clubs and premiership clubs to commission a customised version of My First Rugby book for their club.

JUUBIX

Project description:

 

The aim of this project is to conduct A/B user testing amongst Brunel’s subject matter departments by carrying out a controlled experiment, in which to assess user's behavior, understand user engagement and satisfaction of JUUBIX solution and what features should be added or removed from the product. Developing an operational strategy using A/B testing to make user experiences more successful and as a way to streamline our services. The project will conduct complex experiments on subjects such as network effects when users are offline, how online services affect user actions, and how users influence one another. The data from A/B tests will need to be evaluated. This includes data from engineers, marketers, designers, software engineers, and entrepreneurs.

 

A/B testing is claimed by some to be a change in philosophy and business-strategy in certain niches, though the approach is identical to a between-subjects design, which is commonly used in a variety of research traditions. A/B testing as a philosophy of web development brings the field into line with a broader movement toward evidence-based practice. The benefits of A/B testing are considered to be that it can be performed continuously on almost anything, especially since most marketing automation software now typically comes with the ability to run A/B tests on an ongoing basis.

 

The project outcome is to rely on the data from A/B tests, which will allow JUUBIX to understand growth, increase revenue, and optimize customer satisfaction.

 

Objectives and potential outcomes:

 

TESTING - Multivariate testing or multinomial testing is similar to A/B testing, but may test more than two versions at the same time or use more controls. Simple A/B tests are not valid for observational, quasi-experimental or other non-experimental situations - commonplace with survey data, offline data, and other, more complex phenomena.

EVALUATE - Test changes before rolling them out across JUUBIX products. Learn what actually improves performance. Run multivariate tests, multi-armed bandits, A/B/n tests, backed by data science.

OPTIMISATION - Set up tests with Susan, Founder, measure with events and optimize for the metrics that matter the most to JUUBIX.

CONVERSION - Convert more of JUUBIX traffic into real world sales and conversions using experimentation. Use personalisation to show 1:1 custom touchpoints using data from JUUBIX website.

 

 

 

JUUBIX Fintech marketplace that simulates stakeholder behaviour anonymously in real time.

 

Providing ‘Stakeholders as a Service’ by gamifying and matching users interests and skills to:

 

- Talent

 

- Companies

 

- Investment

 

To collaborate, formulate and innovate!

 

The JUUBIX solution, eliminates all bias in representation including: age, sexuality, gender, race, religion and creates equality in connectivity, finance and services. With the vision to put people in charge of their finance and collaboration activities like never before; thus creating an unbiased system where stakeholders can solve global challenges collaboratively.

 

Using AI to track matching assets (performance, finance, and entities) , calculating the accumulation of the grouped stakeholder network contributions and displaying a financial bidding value as a probability of the user’s profile net worth.

 

All users will be immersed in multi-cloud emerging technology and services such as NFT’s, Metaverse, and Blockchain products to create innovative new sources of revenue and income.

Wool and Black Company Ltd

 

Project Title:

Tophe Trading Company is a subsidiary and trading arm of Wool and Black Company Ltd. The

product idea is titled: Tophe 2X Vacuum Flask - (Tophe Tea/Coffee Flask)

Should the product launch and become successful commercially, we intend to make it a stand alone

company. The current arrangement was based on the advice of our accountants.

 

Project Description:

 

The project is to develop a vacuum flask that would allow for the users to make a fresh and an

instant brew of their favourite beverage. Most current vacuum flask designs are just able to hold hot

water or a pre-made beverage of a particular kind. This limits the choice of two friends and/or

partner who would prefer to share an alternative brew. Even when both parties share the same

taste, the beverage may not be as fresh at the time they would wish to enjoy their drink.

The idea is to design a flask that would hold hot water with compartments that would house other

accessories like a little stirrer, tea bags, loose coffee, sugar and milk. The flask would be designed

with indentations on the vacuum vessel. The holding compartments would also be designed to

match these indentations and flush on attachment to the whole. Making the compartments

detachable would allow for easy care and wash. Also, to allow for the milk section to be refrigerated

as at when required.

The first design model would have a capacity of about 750ml with two cups. Depending on the

design, the cups could either be located at the top or bottom of the vessel, or spread across both

ends. The base of the flask would have a ‘false bottom’ wherein a compartment for sugar, coffee

and tea bags would be inserted. This ‘false base’ could be ‘screwed-on’ or push-in/pull-out

operated. The product will have a thermal and waterproof casing.

 

Objectives:

 

Our main objective is to assemble a team of students that are able to contribute positively in

creating a final product design that would be ready for the market launch.

2. We also intend to conduct further market research and analysis on the product.

3. Conduct a second worldwide patient search on both the design and utility function of the product

4. Assemble a focus group and data of the potential customers.

5. Final Design and Branding of the product. (Criterical product analysis pre-launch)

6. 3D Rendering, photorealistic design and prototyping.

7. Create marketing awareness for the product launch.

8. Sustainable production and production opinions

 

Outcomes:

 

1. To identify a focus group and build a database of potential customers.

2. Identify market dynamics and appetite for the brand through market research

3. Identify the right approach to create awareness for the brand

4. Create multiple channels of communicating the brand through social media handles.

5. Respond to the market research and worldwide patient search report by improving on the

final design.

6. Adapt the contemporary design palate favoured by the market research - (colour and

ergonomics).

7. Identify the right packaging and suitable cover branding.

8. Identify suitable materials, parts and accessories.

9. Identify production cost, quality control and product sustainability.

10. Overview of the legal, patent, IP, after sales customer care requirements

 

Description: Wool and Black Company Ltd was incorporated in 2014. We have four subsidiaries of

the company. Design and Innovation is one of the four subsidiaries.

This section of the company deals with product design, innovation, production and ecommerce.

Obidike Onyedibe is the Business Development Director of the company who coordinates

operations and works closely with the creative teams and design consultants in bringing the

products to reality.

Unit9 Ltd

 

Project Title : CogiGames - Home VR rehabilitation platform

 

Project description:

 

Our platform, CogiGames Home offers virtual reality tele-rehabilitation for stroke survivors (in their own home) that is used in-between visits to physiotherapists to help patients who are discharged from hospital care to restore limb movement more quickly and effectively, and at lower cost.

 

Leveraging recent advances in non-invasive consumer-grade electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets and our own proprietary machine learning algorithms, CogiGames incorporates a brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows users to see mentally simulated (thought activated) limb movements represented as real movements in a virtual reality (VR) environment.

 

In this low stress VR environment, patients use a combination of real and merely imagined movements to play entertaining online games that provide them with visual feedback and motivation that help them to effectively re-train the neural connections needed for limb movement.

 

The platform sets out new data driven opportunities to address the variability in stroke patient conditions and the different types of required rehabilitation exercises. It achieves this by working with physiotherapists to design and prescribe supporting games that work with different movements, while journaling key performance measures. These support both users and professionals by helping them to assess recovery progress remotely. The resulting data will help guide new patients toward activities that have been more effective, and drive further research leveraging brain wave signals for predictive outcomes.

 

Project objectives and potential outcomes:

 

We need to create a comprehensive business plan that includes the followings:

 

1.    Draft an executive summary.

2.    Describe the new company.

3.    Perform a market analysis.

4.    Outline the management and organization.

5.    List the products and services.

6.    List competitive advantages

7.    Perform customer segmentation.

8.    Define a marketing plan.

9.    Provide a logistics and operations plan.

10.  Define financial projections 5 years

JUUBIX

Project Title: No barriers to opportunities

 

Project description:

 

The aim of this project is to conduct automated tests, to achieve better software quality, and be able to successfully maintain a large database system, in relation to distributed ones. By taking regular optimisation, this will increase JUUBIX’s software development and decreases blockers. The AI and machine learning in software testing will deliver better and more effective automation, instead of repeating and refining testing. These software testing methods should include AI and Deep Learning algorithms. With the help of machine learning algorithms, AI systems can automatically analyze JUUBIX data and uncover hidden trends, patterns, and insights that can be used to make better-informed decisions. AI automates report generation and makes data easy-to-understand by using Natural Language Generation.

 

The project outcome is to use AI systems combining large sets of data with intelligent, iterative processing algorithms to learn from patterns and features in the data that they analyze. Each time an AI system runs a round of data processing, it tests and measures its own performance and develops additional expertise.

 

Project objectives and potential outcomes:

 

DETECTION – will be used to automatically index the JUUBIX software after each PR crash has been verified so that test engineers can focus on more valuable tests. This lets engineers accomplish more critical tests, such as automating memory leak detection (iOS) or troubleshooting JNI integration (Android)

STATIC REVIEW – To carry out symbolic AI is a decision-making tactic that employs rules. By creating a rules-based expert system the calculation was not as affordable in a cloud-based commodity modelling. Review will include leveraging symbolic AI to perform code review, which adheres to good coding practices but also overcomes the shortcomings of contamination analysis to extract potential attack vectors in the code.

COMPUTATION strategy in JUUBIX website, assemble click data, and then utilize data analytics and ML to determine which of the key user flows should be examined. Then create test code to produce a comprehensive test suite automatically.

MONITORING to apply log aggregation and analysis. Offering a Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) that enables users to configure standard ML algorithms, such as Linear and Logistic Regression, K-means clustering, and so on, to analyse JUUBIX data. By using MLTK Smart Assistants to make it even simpler

Rebel Alchemy

 

Project description:

 

To provide measurable and quantifiable proof that Energy Healing is a tangible treatment, capable of remediating serious illness.

 

In essence, Energy Healing uses the same principle as BCI technology – thought projection to induce a desired outcome i.e. if someone is suffering from cancer, my intention will be to shrink/eradicate all cancer cells and tumours whilst channelling energy into the Chakra system simultaneously.

 

Minimal touch is used and as such, the treatment can also be performed remotely treating clients located anywhere in the world.

 

Objectives:

 

This would involve measuring my energetic output whilst performing a healing session on a recipient.

 

I presume this would entail connecting me up to an EEG (or relevant Brain Computer Interface kit), whilst I perform a healing session and recording what brain waves/or my body emits - as well as recording the energetic change in the recipient, and if possible, the energetic transfer that happens between the two of us.

Potential Outcomes:

 

To create tech that can replicate the healing frequencies that are emitted during the healing process, thus (in some scenarios), being able to replace medicines and/or surgery;  as well as detecting any malfunction in the 7 Major Chakras (energetic centres).

 

This means incubated disease can be identified (and potentially effaced), before it has the opportunity to present in the physical body.

 

Rebel Alchemy is an alternative healthcare practice specialising in Energy Healing (similar to Reiki).

Energy Healing is the oldest form of medicine and can be used to treat all ailments that one would normally see their Doctor for, be it physical -psychological or emotional.

 

As it addresses the root cause of disease, it has the capacity to reverse or suppress many illnesses in as little as 2-5 sessions.

youHQ

Project title: Using digital technology to support wellbeing in schools

 

Project description: youHQ collects personal and sensitive data from students. We’re looking for ways we can apply this information to a) help build a smarter tool to provide instant and relevant support and resources to individual students, b) help us to recognise patterns and predict more accurately indicators of personal crisis, and c) help us understand the best way to manage mental health in a country where local resources are under-funded and in short supply.

 

Our ultimate goal is to reduce the incidence of mental health disorders (at a drastic level suicide) in schools and become an ‘edruptor’ putting wellbeing and personal development as a priority.

 

Objectives and potential outcomes:

 

-    Use of AI to create a more bespoke resource library, triangulate data to quickly show students most at risk (mood, who-5, tags, what they're watching)

-    Ability to integrate with modern wearables (WHOOP, Fitbit) to scrape sleep, heart and activity data and to combine this with current youHQ data to bridge the gap between mental and physical health

-    Creation of in-app notifications to alert staff and students to the above more effectively

 

youHQ, owned by start-up ‘Life on Time Ltd’, is a wellbeing monitoring and personal development platform for schools that aims to highlight those students in need and inspire every person in the school community to succeed. Using the youHQ ‘APPIA’ ☺ model, the whole school SaaS tool can be described as follows:

 

A awareness.  

When students log in to the platform, they are encouraged to self-reflect and share how they are feeling via simple mood emoji check in and the globally recognised WHO-5 wellbeing survey. This information is visible to the individual student, assigned tutor and any other chosen pastoral lead staff. They are also encouraged to contextualise an ‘attributor’ (personal or school related tag)  towards this feeling. This allows the student the chance to raise their emotional intelligence as well as build a trusting relationship with their tutor. Access to information is dependent on the tutors’ role and differs for the tutor, designated leadership team (DSL), and school leadership team. Reports can be split by student, class, year groups or the entire school.

 

P prevention

We provide wellbeing and CBT-style resources that enhance long-term mental health conditioning and personal development. Resource areas include resilience, self-help, anxiety, and much more. Resources are updated centrally via youHQ as well as independently managed by the school. The platform has a dedicated support page where students can reach out at anytime if they need it. Our automated staff dashboard can be tailored to individual staff to alert them to any students in need.

 

P positive habits

As well as promoting the habit of self check ins, we help individuals identify what matters most in their lives using values-based goal setting. We teach them how to set actions that ladder up to SMART goals that link to their personal values, so that they can set a course towards living their own version of success and happiness. At every turn on the platform, students are rewarded with GOALd, our positivity currency, that drives motivation and platform engagement, thus establishing positive habits.

 

I intervention

We create easy-to-read dashboards and ‘touch of the button’ reports that flag the students/teachers with indicators of poor mood and wellbeing scores that allow the creation of focus groups to distribute more coordinated support. This loops back into ‘Prevention’, and if needed, helps initiate the process of treatment. We have created our own conversation log feature where teachers can track what’s been said and who’s spoken to each student. In this way schools can track positive conversations and outcomes.

 

A alert

For individuals with more worrying, persistent trends, or who require urgent attention, teachers can quickly and securely register safeguarding concerns via our in-app integration with the UKs leading safeguarding specialists, CPOMS and MYCONCERN, or initiate an immediate conversation with the nominated pastoral or DSL leads. This is a new wave of ‘informed safeguarding’.

Curenetics

Project title: Ethical considerations for the development of an AI-driven clinical decision support tool

 

Project description:

Curenetics is a med-tech, deep-tech company involved in the development of novel AI-tools used for predicting patients response to cancer treatment. Our main focus is on a relatively new class of cancer treatment called Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is increasingly used in the treatment of various cancers. While this class of treatment has been shown to be effective, only about 20-30% of patients achieve a sustained response to treatment. Unfortunately, these drugs are quite expensive (about Ł80-90k per year, per patient) and it could also potentially cause, life threatening side effects of toxicities.

 

We propose an AI-driven tool which can predict whether a patient will respond to immunotherapy before they commence treatment. In doing so, we avoid ineffective treatments, reduce time to right choice of treatment, reduce healthcare costs and save lives.

 

Project objectives and potential outcomes:

 

While this AI tool will ultimately predict or identify patients who will benefit from immunotherapy, a substantial number of patients, will be deemed unsuitable for this treatment and hence turned away due to perceived or proven lack of response (based on testing and validation on large amounts of clinical data). Some of these patients might have no other treatment options and hence be disappointed as a result of the “predictive accuracy” of this AI tool. Currently, all patients are offered this treatment but only about 20% respond.

 

Objectives

·     To assess the ethical implications of making such predictions or decisions especially in a life-threatening disease such as cancer.

·     To assess what threshold of predictive accuracy of the AI model will be deemed sufficient, for this tool be fair and ethically justifiable.

·     A strong argument to justify the use of this tool especially if its preventing substantial number of patients from the development side effects from a drug that might potentially not work for them.

·     How do we minimise bias (due to age of the patient, gender, race, geographical location, socio economic status etc) when developing and providing this tool in a real clinical environment.

·     Any other ethical issues to be considered and addressed in an AI-driven clinical decision support tool.

 

We are a med-tech company and we predict response to cancer treatment

Project Brief: - Fashion design

The objective is to design a jacket, probably with particular regard to the shoulders, which we can potentially patent but definitely register the design. This design could then be incorporated into a number of jacket styles like tailcoats or conductors’ jackets for both men and women. I am already gathering a list of interested clients and the aim is to produce this jacket for sale globally at a reasonable price.

 

Fabric chosen is also very important. |It needs to be light and breathable and possibly washable, but we understand that would be difficult, particularly with tailoring. We would like to keep this project within the circular economy.

We are the first company to make a range of stylish clothes designed specifically to allow musicians to breathe and move freely to perform at their best. All our clothes are black and conform to the internationally recognised dress code.

SwimAR Ltd

SwimAR is a revolution in swim training enabling real-time feed-back using an innovative holographic display attached to your existing goggles.

SwimAR has created a proof of concept prototype and wishes to make further product improvements. Innovation areas include miniaturization of the electronics package, attachment development for any goggle type and development of a GPS enabled way-finding interface.

The current proof of concept rig has been tested & was well received by elite swimmers & coaches, but is cumbersome to use and does not reflect the ease of use needed for a wearable sports tech.

The proof of concept rig uses Sony LMX-001 holographic display with Raspberry Pi prototyping board to display a timer. The electronics & battery were incorporated in a separate puck to the display module. The puck was mounted on the back of the swimmers head with a cable to the goggle mounted display. This system was used for initial pool trials. A separate GPS way finder has also been tested outside the pool.

This programme will enable the amalgamation of these elements into the optimised & miniaturised goggle mounted SwimAR. Further functional elements will include a method for displaying route finding in open water swimming, lap counting (either tumble-turn or touch-turn) in pool, and average speed measurement

Ideally this will attract a multi discipline team / student with Product Design Engineering, Electronics Engineering & Software Engineering.

SwimAR a revolution in swim training enabling real-time performance feed-back using innovative holographic displays attached to your existing goggles. This addresses a significant gap in the swim market for real time training systems when compared with other sports like running and cycling. Waterproof swim watches do not satisfy this.

The Energy Bill Crystal Ball

We want to create a tool that helps users understand how their energy bill is going to look like in the coming 5-10 years under different scenarios. The tool is a data product (definition to be discussed) showing a very simple frontend fuelled by a very clever set of algorithms in the backend crunching datasets on energy consumption, energy costs, and any other input we may find relevant. It is intended to be as generic as possible, so that it can be tested with B2C (e.g. residential end-users) and B2B (e.g. housing associations, commercial property owners and managers, etc.) The user input should be a minimal set of parameters defining a building (location, type, size, energy cost, etc.) and - when available - half-hourly datasets of energy consumption. The output should be quick and simple, giving the idea of what the future energy cost and consumption could look like, by means of a very limited set of numbers and charts. Goals of this tool are: 

To understand what is the minimal set of parameters needed to run an analysis and generate a meaningful engagement with end users  To demonstrate user traction via a simple online tool that can be used as initial funnel for other commercial propositions  To collect data that would give a “compare the market” point of view to be potentially used for insights on energy services to be provided to end-users.

The Synaesthesia Meditation App

 

The App place on the market:

The Synaesthesia Meditation App is an application for phones and mobile devices, designed for people that are interested in quick and efficient ways of gaining a positive mindset, deeper focus, full relaxation and more.

What separates this App from any similar products already on the market is that it combines audio guided meditations with additional visual and auditory layers inspired by the condition of synaesthesia.

The Synaesthesia App is a meditation app which incorporates audio and visual synaesthesia into the guided meditations to create a deeper level of engagement with its content and therefore generate a better state of relaxation and focus.

Synaesthesia is a neurological condition that causes a mixing of the senses, therefore generating cross-modal experiences such as coloured sounds, tasting shapes, etc.

The Synaesthesia Meditation app uses sound, visual design, sensory guided and non-guided meditation to provide short but important moments of mindfulness within a busy day’s routine.

Why bring together synaesthesia and meditation?

Firstly, looking at the current meditation app market there is an evident lack of options that take into consideration a neurodiverse perspective. We believe by changing perspective we may be able to reach and connect with people that do not usually engage with this type of app because of perceptual barriers.

Secondly – and recently confirmed by research papers – synaesthesia as a phenomenon that draws attention to your senses can help individuals achieve an interoceptive awareness state in a shorter amount of time, meaning that we might be able to reach also those people that do not usually engage with meditation apps because they don’t feel they have enough time to dedicate to this type of practice.

Finally, using different senses as part of our meditation app can result in a more active engagement with the content.

Vital Hospitality Ltd

Importer and supplier of innovative products & services for the hospitality sector

 

Company manufactures custom (made-to-fit) stainless steel liners for sinks in commercial kitchens. The insert is called SinkLiner. The SinkLiner allows liquid to drain, but prevents food waste from entering the drainage system.

 

Each unit is custom made, based on the dimensions of the clients sink. Measuring is currently done manually using a measuring tape, from which the dimensions for the steel insert to be fabricated, are produced.

 

We are trying to find an easier, more accurate and user friendly (and ideally digital) means of measuring (the required dimensions of the sink) so customers could provide measurements themselves, negating the need for a site visit and allowing us to scale production.

Our company has developed a custom-made, removable, stainless steel insert which fits in the sink of customers. To ensure the sink can still be fully utilised by the client, the insert is designed to be as large as possible, while still fitting snugly inside the sink, by following the contours of the straight edges of the sink

 

Sink sizes vary significantly from one to the next, and are rectangular in shape with curved corners.

In order to negate the need to measure and replicate the 4 rounded corners of customer sinks, our design is octagonal in shape, essentially cutting out the rounded corners.

 

The SinkIner has a perforated bottom (2mm holes) which allows water to drain out, while keeping food and other waste inside, which can then be thrown away in the dustbin after shifts.

 

Measuring:

In order to fabricate the SinkLiner, we currently measure the following dimensions:

Total Length = Distance between the centre of the left & right edge of the sink

Risk Free Pregnancy (RFP)

Project Description

Aim: To create an interactive smartphone App

We are creating a product to accurately identify patients at risk of medical complications during pregnancy. The product will combine the most common physical and mental complications in pregnancy. Women will need to answer specific questions about their personal medical background to obtain not just the risk of suffering these complications but a preventative treatment/management plan as well as an accurate specialist referral according to their risk factors. This will be delivered initially, through a smartphone APP, which will incorporate available data included in national and international pregnancy guidelines and relevant high-quality studies.

The aim is to reduce the risk of having gestational complications by providing a pre-pregnancy plan including:

●        Covering the 10 most common pregnancy complications

●        Preventative tailored treatment/management plan according to their risk factors

●        An accurate specialist referral plan.

The objectives therefore, of the App to be created are: Inform, engage, raise awareness of these risks for women who are either planning to get pregnant, or are already pregnant.

Risk Free Pregnancy (RFP) was founded in September 2021 to provide online advice services and prevention tools to reduce medical complications for women during pregnancy. The founder and CEO of the company, Dr Candido Munoz, is currently an Internal Medicine Physician who is doing his PhD with the University College London and working as a locum with Royal Free Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He specialises in medical complications during pregnancy with a specific focus on prevention by developing pre-pregnancy tailored plans.

The Wellbeing Designer

Toy/device to ease children’s anxiety whilst avoiding the use of mobiles or tablets.

The pandemic has strengthened the awareness of life balance and well-being, it has been evident to parents about how much children can be affected by life circumstances. Many children suffer from anxiety due to life changes, like from not being able to be physically close to one or both of their parents or carers. The purpose is to bring closeness to the child by having the voice of the other parent or parents recorded so they can hear the parent’s or carer’s voice. This approach will contribute to helping them wind down and lower levels of anxiety and sleep better. Also, children who suffer from any level of anxiety or fear of darkness, monsters or being alone, are very common among young children between the ages of 4 years to 11.
