Sports scientists realise that athletes must be adequately stressed to stimulate performance increases. However excessive stress caused by over-training or insufficient recovery increases the likelihood of subsequent injury or a failure to reach peak performance. Inflametric is a simple finger prick blood metabolic stress test that is both sensitive and cost-effective. By using their test sports scientists can accurately devise the exercise programs that support an athlete's preparation, and following injury, plan and train for recovery and re-entry into competition. Inflametric has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Inflametric

Genics is a prawn pathogen technology. It diagnoses 13 commercially relevant pathogens of prawns (plus known genetic variants) in one assessment, drastically reducing testing costs, turnaround times and increasing the use of pathogen diagnostics in everyday management decisions in prawn farming. The technology is unique in its ability to detect multiple pathogens simultaneously in a highly specific, sensitive and semi-quantitative manner that is equivalent to and in many cases superior to current single pathogen detection systems used globally. Genics has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Genics

The CareGivr platform uses virtual and augmented reality technology across multiple platforms to deliver applications allowing users to learn and practice necessary health related procedures in a cost effective, fail-safe, consistent and immersive environment. CareGivr has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/CareGiVR

Globally, all pharmaceutical companies face the same challenge of finding effective drug targets that will translate into higher drug approval rates. Hyperdrive Science technology increases the accuracy of, and cuts the time required for, drug candidate selection, reducing the costs of drug development. The technology takes advantage of naturally occurring processes that allow genomic information from a cell to be translated into its corresponding protein library to be tested for new and emergent drug targets. Hyperdrive Science has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Hyperdrive

The Noisy Guts team is developing an acoustic belt that records gut noises over time so doctors can accurately screen and diagnose gut disorders. Their research shows a strong correlation between gut noises and specific gut disorders. Noisy Guts' belt is a safe, non-invasive screening, monitoring and diagnostic tool. The Noisy Guts has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Noisy-Guts

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. Parts Per Billion has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Accelerate5-Teams/Parts-Per-Billion
