Making Open Access/Open Data/Open Science A Reality

Making Science Fiction an Engineering Reality Using Biologically-Inspired Technologies

For many years, the trend has been to automate processes in order to increase the efficiency of performing redundant tasks. Realizing that some parts are too complex to inspect with a simple automatic system robotic mechanisms were developed to perform the necessary complex tasks. Lab and field scanners have emerged with significant capabilities where manipulators and crawlers were developed fo...

Making Mobile Augmented Reality A Reality

Recent advances in mobile device technology have freed augmented reality (AR) applications from the constraints of desktops, laptops and head-mounted displays. But they are met with a lack of guidelines on the design and user interactions of mobile device-based AR systems. The situation for developers is further exacerbated by closed-license environments and inflexible solutions. We provide an ...

Making Patient Engagement a Reality

Patients are increasingly recognised as the true customers of healthcare. By providing insights and perspectives, patients can help the wider healthcare community better understand their needs and ultimately enhance the value of healthcare solutions being developed. In the development of new medicines, for example, meaningful patient engagement can enable the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare...

Making virtual screening a reality.

T he discovery of new bioactive compounds for specific biomolecular targets represents a significant hurdle in the early stages of drug discovery. Advances in automation and bioanalytical methods have provided high-throughput screening (HTS) techniques that can perform individual biochemical assays on as many as a million compounds or more. Even with HTS, the discovery of new lead compounds lar...
