The Parts Per Billion has developed a sensor that gives users the information they need to make critical decisions in real time. This technology delivers laboratory-quality analytical results within minutes. It uses molecular machines, biosensors, to measure components in any food to see if it is safe for consumption. The biosensors can detect almost any molecule of interest.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in horses and accounts for a third of the total cancers in dogs and cats. RedVet has come up with a solution to treat skin cancer in animals. They use radiation technology proven for use on humans, and apply it to skin cancers on horses, cats and dogs.

SeaNu is a new calcium rich source of food to tackle the problem of people not eating dairy. Their goal is develop a multi-mineral non-dairy drink which supplies high levels of calcium, magnesium and other beneficial micronutrients. The drink is made from seaweed and lobster shells - a waste product in the lobster processing industry. SeaNu has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate3/SeaNU

Researchers in Italy have said a "no jab no school" policy should be introduced after finding that current immunisation rates will not keep measles outbreaks at bay. Italy brought in mandatory vaccination before primary school in 2017 because of low immunisation rates and measles outbreaks. France did the same in 2018. In their paper, published in the journal BMC Medicine, the rearearchers say that vaccine rates in Australia, Ireland, Italy, the UK and the US could drop to levels where measles outbreaks will happen. Coverage needs to be 95% to prevent outbreaks. www.theguardian.com/society/2019/may/17/uk-should-consider-no-jab-no-school-policy-italian-study-says

Brain decoder is a new UCSF-developed tool that can convert brain signals into a computer simulation of the vocal tract. The electrodes are implanted into the brain of volunteers and then decoded signals in cerebral speech centres to guide a computer-simulated version of their vocal tract ? lips, jaw, tongue and larynx ? to generate speech through a synthesiser. https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2019/04/scientists-develop-brain-decoder-that-turns-brain-signals-into-speech/

Each year around 54,000 Australians experience a heart attack. About 60 per cent survive and are recommended to complete cardiac rehabilitation (CR) to reduce the risk of a second heart attack. Cardihab provides convenient CR from wherever you are, using an evidence based, clinically validated smartphone app that shares patient information with a secure clinician web portal. Cardihab has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate1/Cardihab
