Life Whisperer, a new technology that identifies healthy embryos, has been labelled a game changer for couples struggling to conceive. The world-first IVF technology developed in South Australia uses artificial intelligence to compare images of new embryos with those that have previously led to successful pregnancies. Currently, doctors have to rely on the naked eye, and a microscope, to determine the healthiest embryo. https://7news.com.au/news/sa/revolutionary-ivf-treatment-uses-artificial-intelligence-to-find-healthy-embryos-c-76007

Global Kinetics, a startup based in Melbourne, has developed a wearable device called the Parkinson?s KinetiGraph (PKG) which continuously tracks the symptoms of Parkinson?s disease. It is designed for patients to wear for 6-10 days at a time, with the data then used to better inform doctors about how to manage and treat their patients. PKG is reported to be the first tech to provide an objective record of a Parkinson?s patient?s symptoms over time. www.globalkineticscorporation.com.au
Currently, most medical treatments are provided to people?after?the onset of disease symptoms, regardless of their genetic background. As a result, people may receive treatments too late to be effective and, in some cases, unsuitable treatments are administered. Proprietary tests developed by Advanced Genetic Diagnostics, a participant in the CSIRO ON program, can be applied years?before?the development of chronic disease symptoms. Earlier treatment of high risk people could save lives. They are currently seeking investors to market their test across the globe.
