2SIGNAL
Two complementary signals to improve the diagnostic pathway of cervical cancer
The current diagnostic pathway of cervical cancer lacks simple and reliable examinations to rule out the disease, so that gynecologists must often refers the patient to a more invasive, but dependable biopsy (i.e. sampling of a small amount of tissue, sent for laboratory analysis).
We propose a new, non-invasive and insightful medical device that provides two signals (the structural 3D imaging of the tissue, and its mechanical characterization). Our device could help gynecologists establish a more accurate diagnosis in the earlier steps of the cervical cancer diagnosis, ruling out unnecessary biopsies, and guiding the sampling for necessary ones.

ImRheo provides a new technique to measure the mechanical properties of soft materials, based on image processing and artificial intelligence. ImRheo’s goal is to develop a cheaper and simpler rheometer, which can be used for applications in food (foams, emulsions, colloids, etc.), cosmetics (gels, creams, foams, etc.), constructions engineering (concrete), petroleum (waxy oil), coating (paints), […]
Stichting voor Chromatografie thuis
Chromatography has proven to be a powerful technology for the separation of a mixture to perform quantitative analyses. The Foundation for Chromatography at home aims to promote and support relatively simple analysis at home, e.g. by measuring urinary components after eating certain foods, such as olives. The Foundation will not provide a ready-to-use product, but […]
